Male Armor Sets too flamboyant. Bring full armor back!

[Brannigan]

But at least they didn't make outfits for both genders and gender lock them or something. That would have lit these here forums ABLAZE with complaints!

I would like this to be the next paladin set. Gender differences included. Actually, they should just use all the FFT designs with the gender differences. The salty rage will burn these forums to the ground once and for all even though they all look rad.

I would be okay with this, actually.

What tends to make people salty is not that gear is often released that is gender locked, it's that gear is often released that is gender locked to female only. It's usually female only or uni-sex.

Male and female gear sets are fine. Especially if both are quality.

Also re: OP-I, for one, welcome man skimpy. More! More man skimpy options, I say!

That fem gear looks amazing. I'm tired of tank gear looking mostly like tin cans or shapeless piles of leather and chains (WAR eso gear...). And I'm pretty sure a lot of guys are tired of thigh highs and dresses on their healers/casters (AST and SMN). Unisex gear sucks because not only does it look dumb on one or sometimes both genders, but also because it usually follows the old stereotype that tanks are guys and healers are girls. Not in the OP's case I guess but I understand his frustration of having to wear gear that's clearly designed for the other gender.

Fourbestintoner, I agree! The platekinis we have are not very pretty. I'd like something elvish styled. But obviously make skimpy plate an option for both genders, with separate designs and not just a bikini slapped on a male.

Actually, just about all of the FFT sets are lightly gendered in good ways. People complained about the sexist gendering on the DRG AF1 set because it was, well, randomly sexist. Gendered != sexist. Also, it wasn't a slightly different design that was a slightly different take on the same armor. It was the same exact armor with the middle cut out.

I'm one of those women who are strongly opposed to (and bothered by) stuff like the NIN AF1 pants and the DRG AF1 chest, and I'd love it if they implemented the FFT sets and had them look different on different genders despite being the same armor piece.


EDIT: (That said, skirts are traditional, real life male medium/heavy armor pieces... This game generally depicts them accurately, and they are definitely not "feminine.")
