    I like genderlocked outfits. They tend to be better designed and fitting than most of the universal stuff. The problem with unisex clothes in this game is that they're typically designed to either be a) generic and not look particularly interesting on either gender or b) biased towards one gender and looking like poop on the other (specifically, I feel a lot of tank gear on female characters and healer/caster gear on males has that problem). The price of compromise is often underwhelming results.

    So personally I prefer when outfits have a clear target demographic.

    There are exceptions of course. The new BLM, RDM and DNC AF sets are wereable by both genders but the m/f versions look different, specifically tailored to each. That is the amount of attention I wish all unisex gear would receive! Sadly, I doubt that they would put so much work into anything that isn't a once-per-expansion design. Something on that order requires more assets to be created than a bland, generic piece that can be morphed to fit any shape.
