Can we please get more cool looking outfits for male characters?

I see better, faster, more inclusive work from 12 year old Sims 2 modders than Square Enix.

Those are completely not comparable - creating outfits for FFXIV requires creating appropriate meshes for all character models and make them capable of being decently displayed to a ton of different other players at the same time as well as creating dye palettes in something like 40+ colors.

And if their framework is the likes that really requires they singlehandedly worked on each and every combination, something's very wrong and broken here

Modders have no deadlines, no higher ups to answer to, no extra amount of work on their plate, aren't getting overworked, have a passion to do what they do.

I'm not saying that the devs are perfect, but they need to be given a small break.

Holy hyperbole. What I said was the equivalent of a gym teacher yelling "my grandma runs faster than you".

However, there is really no excuse for this. Unless the clothes are literally modeled straight onto the bases (think of painting clothes on a doll), there is no excuse. It's easy to take a clothing model and warp it - ESPECIALLY considering there is tons of overlap in body shapes. There is not a single race that is drastically different from the others, sans Lalafell which is a moot point because they already have a female Lalafell variant. And male and female Lalafells have identical body shapes. If they do model straight onto the body and it's the body swapping out rather than what is laying on top of it, they are doing it seriously. wrong.

And don't give me crap about it being hard to make things dyeable. Recolors are the easiest thing to do. There is a reason why modders had recolors of Lyse's outfit out within hours of the outfit being released. Besides, they should have a system that makes it so they do not have to manually recolor every piece with every single color option anyways.

They are literally not doing some things because "we don't wanna >:C" not because it's hard or time consuming.
