The devs have created a freaking huge amount of gender locked cosmetic gear obtainable in-game and in the mog station. We even had some more added recently, and we'll get even more in the future. It just so happens that only two out of the lot are of non-xiv female characters. This claim that the devs don't have incentive to create female outfits is simply false...because why would they consistently create them if they didn't? There are even gender locked hairstyles with some of those outfits.

Also a gigantic amount of characters are female, I'd wager more than half are. It's in SE's interest to give them more things to wear that are made for them and not just hand-me-down sets of men's clothes when it comes to non-xiv FF characters, because frankly they could make a lot of money from it. I have been wearing my Yuna outfit a lot recently on two characters and I have gotten pms asking me where I got it, and each of these people were disappointed to find out it's no longer obtainable. Some of them may have bought it if the option was still there.

If SE can redesign male clothes to be usable by female characters, then surely they can do the reverse. We have male bunny outfits now, and very few FF character outfits can boast being more stereotypically feminine than that, or more sexualised than that. The bunny outfit is literally one step away from letting males wear bikinis. So if SE can do that, why can't we get something much more modest like Rinoa's outfit?
