Now before you overreact

Based on what has been found already a lot of outfits are being gender neutralized but i want to point out, there will be more outfits unlocked for males than there will be for females due to there being more female exclusive(non-mog station) glamour outfits within the game than male exclusive, it was a problem SE did themselves which they are sorting out which i do want to say THANK YOU for as you didn't have to do this, but i want this post to make people aware that when they release these outfits there is no bias towards one gender getting more than the other.

May I overreact?


I still want Apache helicopter unique gender outfits.

I'm not thrilled. I'd rather see the resources spent on making new facial hair options for male characters as well as new tattoo and scar options for male and female characters. Both of which have been requested many times over the years on this board and elsewhere, so it's disappointing that they're diverting previous resources towards something like this instead.

It's made particularly disappointing by Blizzard's recent announcement of a major overhaul of the character customisation of every playable race. It's time for FFXIV to do more on that front.

Am glad they're moving more towards not gender locking outfits, especially if I want a certain outfit for a certain character that I think works.

And hey, as a role player, I took some inspiration from Captain Shakespeare in writing a Pirate Captain who sometimes will appear in drag, the options for dressing to that effect have been poor and I've had to try and be smart to pull off stuff that looks right. I realise some will find the concept 'weird', but I see nothing wrong with drag, even before there were any kind of gender issues attached to it, it has has been a long existing form of entertainment. And hey we weirdo roleplayers still make up a portion of the player base.

Plus I see room for creating other fun glamours, in game cosplays, stuff of memes, people who wanna cross dress and (the term that offends so many) those who're gender fluid are accommodated for. It's just a case that it was boggling to genderlock anything, so a reversal on that to me is positive. Glamour is the true endgame, so if anything, they''re adding more endgame content, I mean people have been asking for more endgame content...-whistles-

But be prepared to be trolled for making this thread. You know what people are like when it comes to things like this.

Yep! A complete waste of resources. There is literally no point in wasting the supposed, "limited resources" to allow males to wear dresses. Some people might like to have joke characters, but I think their time could be better spent elsewhere.

I guess I'll go buy that Minfilia outfit for my male Au Ra

Considering you couldn't even choose your eyecolors individually and it was based on the face you took, how about we take a step back on this statement and give that some more thought, hm?

[Duskane]

yep 9 female exclusive sets
and 3 male exclusive sets
will have no gender restrictions

It was limited for a long time, yes. Though this is the second time the character customisation has been updated to a major degree in WoW and it's a much older game than FFXIV.

Meanwhile when it comes to FFXIV we've had people asking for additional customisation for years and we're told that it's 'too hard'. Not that it stops the developers from mysteriously being able to change the character model itself when it comes to Minfilia's outfit and 2P's outfit on women.

Well, to be fair the 2b body is just grafted over ours. Like detachable pieces on a mannequin. However, I think they could just do it if they really wanted to, it just doesn't matter to them; not a priority. Random stuff is their priority though, like this thread's allowing males to wear dresses. Literally pointless. They have to fit each and every one of those sets on each and every male body... why? Very few people would seriously wear something like that, and most who do are just wearing it because of how dumb it looks it's funny.
