New lv1 crafting gear is female only!?

[Emstidor]

The sailor outfit is already unlocked, as a male character I can wear it. I think you mean the Spring dress, which is funny because there is already a male version of it (Hildibrand wears it in one cutscene).

The sailor outfit was not intended as an example of male glamour, but to show the hypocrisy in how these items get handled, as it was originally planned to be the male-exclusive counterpart to the spring dress set you point out, but by YohiP's own admission during development he saw the outfits and thought "Oh, that would look really cute on female characters!" and "encouraged" the art team to make it unisex, so 2.2 launched with one of the contentious unisex/female-exclusive pairs.

The male bunny outfit was only made because people kept asking for it. If people do not ask, do not make topics, do not show ~any~ interest or desire in something and sit quietly hoping one day it'll just manifest itself...it won't. Until the day the devs become mind readers, at least.

Had a male only outfit been the lone crafting set when the patch went live, do you think people would have accepted it without complaints?

And what is the difference between this topic and the bunny one ? 20 times larger with more different people. Bunny outfit is more fun and too be honest this new lv 1 piece.... is not so pretty.

People will always complain. So it will be a small group kinda like this.

But I rest my case. The only opinions i hear is : I want I want and 4 years. Do you really need the gear to be creative. Use the tools you have and make a unique glamour.

Its not this dress itself thats the issue- Its that the set is exclusive to one gender. There is no male equivalent. That is the issue you seem to be either misunderstanding or being willfully ignorant of. I am not speaking of the creativity of outfits involving the dress or subjective appeal of the dress. I am saying that it is fundamentally unfair that there is no equivalent set for male characters to wear.

And yes, I will continue to post about the favoritism of glamour so as long as devs continue to play favorites. If that persists for another 4 years... get used to seeing my icon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Almost all the gear is designed for male midlanders.
Females get a few level 1 gear made for them.
Male characters are now treated as second class citizens.
Call me when the Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre outfits are designed differently for women so I can actually use them since I hate the male versions.

I swapped to a male character for a while earlier this year but I have to admit the lack of glamour options (or at least the ones to my personal taste) for male characters has meant that I reverted back to my old character model. Apparently the data miners on reddit have found some interesting looking male glamour so there may be hope for it yet.

I see I see. So those are the only 2 options I can get to choose..... misunderstanding or ignorant. So you kinda push me towards a position because I dont agree with you. For so called *good* people you guys use alot of black and white tactics. It's kinda scary.

4 years.... for this. Glad I have more important stuff in life...

No one has ever complained about having too many glamour options (inventory issues notwithstanding).

And yet here you are, replying again.

Man, I'm at the point where I don't care what the Dev Team does at this point. I just play XIV just to play it. I'm glad there are other people out there that are willing to do more then the AAA Dev team we have nowadays.

just because they are the generic model doesn't mean its designed for them
most gear is design with all races in mind
