Seriously, If You're Only Going To Create Designs For Women, Just Genderlock

[MoroMurasaki]

The tank top should be for all genders and races. Locking it to Hyur still is just silly.

I'm going to run on the assumption that this wasn't sarcasm. If it was my apologies, ignore me.

How can you say this tank top with a lacing detail is okay to be unisex but a sweater is somehow too androgynous?

This feels like some real picking and choosing.

It might be that your ideas of masculine and feminine clothing styles are different than those of other people. That's cool, it keeps the world interesting, but perhaps don't try to argue that your ideas should be enforced on the whole game then.

None of the outfits here are distinctly gendered. Look at WHM AF3 for crying out loud!

People just need to enjoy the glam options we have. There is a ton of variety to be had. Do I want the female Elezen hempen top? More than an Ultimate clear. I still find ways to glam within my means, though.

So I tried on the much-discussed jumper with my Elezen....



(I don't know if it counts as fashionable but it sure looks comfy.)

I thought the plain version was too plain, so I got the one with the scarf. It's not super masculine (though neither is he) but I don't think it looks feminine. Your opinion may vary. I won't be offended.

This is just adorable. 10/10, please continue.

I think they should unlock all the underwear sets for everyone like they said they'd consider doing years ago. Racial underwear... seriously?

I don't want them to keep making female-only glamour with no male counterparts. That really ticks me off. If androgynous/feminine is the best they can do to compromise then I guess I can live with it... though it seems like a really half-hearted attempt on SE's part. There's no harm in making masculine gear for everyone to wear (and the people who play females but are tired of being stuck in cute clothes all the time would be happy too). I don't think anyone would unsub if a few patches had manly gear instead of what we've been getting for well over a year now.

My take on this is that much of the combat gear (outside of healers and sometimes casters) is rather masculine so the glamour options lean feminine to balance the scales.

I know bringing practicality into a fantasy game isn't always the best idea but like it makes sense we aren't getting a cute sweater or denim cutoffs for beating a raid boss in a way. That should reward more armorey armor and it does.

I'm not opposed to more masculine glam options but it seemed like when they make them and leave them open to female characters as well people get bent out of shape about it. SE isn't ever going to lock any large amount of glam behind playing a male character because the vast majority of people play women. I'm not saying it's inherently fair but it's a reasonable decision from a business perspective. A vegan cafe doesn't suddenly change half their menu to steaks.
