    With TERA, I can understand why they would release so many female only exclusives, the game is F2P and majority of the playerbase is playing a female character, their data also shows that majority of the players that buy stuff from the cash shop are those with female avatars. From an sales point of view, I can understand why they would go in this direction. With FFXIV everyone that plays is already paying Game key + subscription (some also pay for stuff on the Mog Station) and we also know from numbers released from SE that the ratio of female to males characters is almost the same.

    SE has no reason to pander to those with female avatars, they do it, because they want to and can. Which sucks for those that play the other gender. All of us are paying for more content, but only one side gets to experience more, this in itself is unfair. Another factor might also be with their culture, maybe males in feminine outfits is seen as taboo there, which is why we have inbalance of females being able to wear most outfits and males dont.

    In the end this is still no excuse, if SE didnt want males to wear the female outfits, then they could have made more male exclusive outfits to balance this. Them not wanting to balance this makes me believe that male characters have a low priority then female characters.

    PS: Aymeric's hairstyle is uni-sex, while Minifilia's hairstyle is still female exclusive, if SE can make a male avatar's hairstyle uni-sex, then they can do this for Minifilia's hairstyle aswell, the fact that this has not happend, shows the playerbase that female avatars have an higher priority then the male ones.
