can they stop genderlocking outfits that are easily neutral?

There's this little thing called immersion. XIV takes place in a time when men dressed like men and women dressed like women. There were exceptions, but it wasn't the norm. If they start letting everybody wear whatever they want then they might as well just give up on trying to tell a serious story. If there's a giant muscular roe running point wearing a wedding dress and heels during a dungeon then how are you expected to take the encounter seriously?

I get that this a game meant for entertainment purposes so concessions can be made (i.e the bunny suit and other crazier sets), but at the same time they're still trying tell a specific story in a specific setting so things need to be a specific way.

Dude have you seen coeurl underwear us Roes wear? That's true immersion right there. I like some men in skirts too, really gets me immersed in the experience. You want the Warrior of Light charging into battle with his/her unimmersive boring armor? I say no! Catboys in dresses, Roes in skirts, au'ra woman in Tuxedos, it's all immersive!

Any good fiction is grounded in reality, so the time period this game takes place in is a fictional medieval setting. That's why you have knights and castles and such. Thereby it would stand to reason that the dress code would be that of that time period i.e armor, tunics, robes, etc.

Your desire to dress your character in drag has nothing to do with the setting of the world so ultimately if your version of 'immersion' is broken by that, then that's on you.

I don't see how Mr Fedora can complain about men in drag in a "fictional medieval setting" though =3
