Bunny outfits for men, not a cryptid!

[SilverObi]

As it is now, it looks like a comedic relief more than anything.

Because that's how males crossdressing is viewed in japan, as comedy relief or something foolish to not be indulged in for very long (though this is a common trope for many cultures).

Obviously they struggled to make something for men based off the bunny suit and instead went for hey let's just make it a big joke cause they didn't know how to conceptualize a masculine version of the purely feminine outfit. I don't have a dog in this fight so I don't care too much, aside from not looking forward to Ul'dah in the coming months, but it's plain to see they as a team had no clue on how to approach this project. And we can't use previous outfits that show off the male figure as proof of ability since those were based off pre-existing styles.

I don't think they had any intention to make this. Just more of seeing if this would stop a part of the community from asking that question/s.

What is the source on this I don't see it on the lodestone or dev blog.

It came from the dev panel at PAX east.

Yeah that's the most likely answer to be fair

Cool, can we get better caster glamours for men, now?

[Destati]

I wasn't sure if SE was just going to give us guys a more conservative, generic-looking suit with bunny ears or go for something "chippendale-esque", but I certainly wasn't expecting them to copy/paste the existing outfit.
I don't know, after all these years I thought they were were just stuck on designs and perpetually leaving it on the backburner. Part of me wonders if after a while they said 'screw it' and went with what's already there just to shut everyone up? Especially with their interest in reusing armor this expansion, it wouldn't surprise me.
But you know what? For once I couldn't be happier that they reused assets. I love it! I can't wait to get it and use it for glamour. This is precisely the kind of thing my character would wear for laughs, and honestly I hope SE gives us more stuff to cross dress with.

I mean.... it took them about the same amount of time for egi glamours.... aka carbuncles which were already in the game.
