Crossdressing or RIOT

[LadyLarunai]

I think you misread the rest of my post, and even that of the OP. He wants the locks removed so crossdressing is possible, I stated in my post that SE not having equivalents was the only wrong thing. It's not just with gear either though, people on here also seem to want hairstyles to be for every race/gender, they don't want anything to be locked to certain types of people. It takes so much from them as individual races and genders, and just ends up being dull with no special things bound to them, save for ears and horns.

Pffs im no He

what people want from "special" is freedom to create rather than restrictions, hence many people asking both here and in person

I know some are against it and others are not, but lets be honest here, this is all SE fault. If SE had given both genders equal glamour during ARR, then we would probaly have never seen these type of threads. SE started catering (Since HW they have changed) towards releasing female only outfits, which made people ask for male versions, then SE responded that the reason why female avatars get the outfit, is because its easier to make them for females and when making outfits, they make a female first then adapt it to the males. This inturn started requests for SE to just release the female outfits for males aswell and here we are.

SE should have seen it comming, but they released Diadem and Lord of Verminion soo...

PS: To the players that are making a big fuss about what other players make their characters wear... WTF? Do you worry as much when you see a guy wearing feminine outfits in real life aswell? NO! You move along and mind your own business. Let players wear whatever they want to wear.

Telling SE "I want to Cross Dress or i'm going to make a big deal out of it" is the wrong approach. Also we ALL pay to play the game so everyone's opinion or desires should be equally valued. Telling someone to "Mind their business" in our own gaming community is an oxymoron since we all have ideas about what the resources could be better spent developing.
I'm all for equality but the Gender Neutral Issue (Period) is being pushed too aggressively. I agree some clothing should be unlocked but demanding "Cross Dressing" has nothing to do with fair treatment for gender clothing options in game and asking to be allowed to do that is taking it too far.

But can you blame them for it? They have asked SE if they could add male versions of the outfits, like the bunny one and SE have said that they are thinking about it, then they say they will work on bringing in more male exclusive outfits to balance the gender inequality between males and females. They said this back when 2.51 was released which was in the week of 24th of February of 2015. They have been waiting for a bunny outfit since then. Alot of threads were made, most were ignored and what does SE do? They release another bunny outfit for females in HW. This would have been the perfect opportunity to release a male version aswell. Players would respect SE for being true to their word.

Its 25th of April 2016 and still there is no male outfit. If this were to happen to the females instead, I would make a big fuss about it. I complained aswell when we thought that Setzer outfit was male only and I was not alone. So they might be agressive, but SE have made it known that unless we realy keep requesting for it, they will not respond to it. Look at the Magitek theme, players used to make alot of threads on here and Reddit requesting SE to add a FF6 theme to the Magitek and what did SE do? They added Tina´s theme to the Magitek. Giving feedback and requesting stuff works, SE even wants us to make threads and tell them what we as players want.

(this is not directed at you, Anima)

It does not help that whenever someone wants a male version of the female version, they get a big group of players who disagree. These players do not want the males to get their own exclusive outfits, they do not want them to share the same outfit aswell. I have never seen this behavior before in other games, FFXIV is the only mmorpg where I have witnessed that players are buthurt, because someone wants the option to wear the same outfit or let their gender have their version of the outfit. Its bringing the special snowflake syndrome to a anoher whole level.

That should be said to those asking for the crossdressing. Japan is still in the process of accepting such things, and while they have anime and such with crossdressers, they are usually of a humourous nature. The one crossdressing moment within this game itself was for humour purposes. It took alot for them to even have same-sex marriages put into this game, and to allow gambling. It could be years before they allow crossdressing to be a norm for their people, if ever in the life-span of the game.

exactly... se listen to the fanbase way to much imo if wanna wear girls clothes change to a female and vice versa problem solved... ppl who say suck it up always the 1st to complain about almost everything lol

i always just laugh when see people with male toons complainin they cant wear bunny outfits etc etc... so many people whinge n whine about wanting more content yet instead of just changin genders they scream for gender locks to be lifted... all the time n resources put into changin that could be put into somethin much more worthwhile imo

Well, it's happening, whether you like it or not, Yoshi P said so during the PAX presentation. :-D

Also, we should put the Gender-lock Valentione gear on the list too (The Apron, Apron Dress, Pants, and Skirt) and the rest of the Expeditioner's sets.

Well yeah if there is enough demand for certain pieces gear they will do it and so far after said announcement I don't see much demand for this anymore lol. I expected more likes but guess I was wrong.
