Bunny outfits for men, not a cryptid!

[Lauront]

Spending resources to put a requested glamour in the game spawning tons of complaints that they didn't add a different glamour to the game hardly seems worth the effort and mostly just makes the community look ridiculous. Can't be happy that someone else got something they requested that doesn't negatively impact anyone who doesn't want it in any way?

Oy.

Perhaps your perception is the issue here.

There is no singular "community" as such, nor a spokesperson for it. Accordingly, players who wanted this (a tiny minority of those playing male toons) are happy, whereas those who want actual glamours made in a masculine fashion would have preferred for SE to introduce that for their toons, instead, and are dissatisfied that 1) that has not been forthcoming (in addition to an overall deficit of such glamours for male toons) and 2) do consider it to be a use of dev resources that could have been put to that use. Pretending that this makes the "community" look ridiculous is just willful misunderstanding of what is being said, and although I can forgive some players for being so myopic, if SE held to such a view, I'd be less understanding. In fact, I'd consider it a fairly petty response and not one befitting a multimillion company with SE's reputation, which should have a solid understanding of consumer segmentation. They are perfectly capable of designing brilliant masculine outfits, as evidenced in FFXV. Perhaps different design teams, but the talent is there, and FFXIV is one of their big moneymakers, with a roughly equal split between male and female toons.
