It's time (Option to Hide other players Glamour)

[CelestePinke]

I’ll just share this again: "... I was heading to the office on a Saturday and I saw a situation that made me very sad. I was trying to go into the office and I was waiting at a red light. I saw a high schooler coming from the other side of the road in their school uniform. It seemed that they were biologically male at birth but they were wearing a sailor fuku, which is traditionally female attire. In Japanese high schools, there’s more and more schools that are accommodating for freedom of not being restricted to a specific gender for your uniform...That person probably wanted to present the gender they identified with in their heart...On the other side of the road was a mother and a daughter. The daughter was perhaps 5 years old. As soon as the mother saw the high schooler, she shielded her daughter as if she didn’t want her daughter to see. The high schooler must have been very hurt. Situations like these still happen and there’s areas where there’s not as much understanding.

We need to see more change in the values people have, and we need to consider for Final Fantasy XIV how we push forward in-game and how we represent it."

Seems like Yoshida is down for the unlocking...

They (SE) can already filter it. Just because they haven't given us the option means nothing.

Has anyone mentioned we get a dungeon set from a MSQ dungeon that is basically swimsuits. Which my retainers seem to love.

[CelestePinke]

Yes it has been pointed out. I preferred the event gear that could be dyed.

If that was truely the case, then why were they so adamant against making the bunny suit wearable by males for so long? Maybe I'm just cynical, but that story seems a bit too convenient to be true. That something like that happened to occur right in front of him during a time when all this fuss is going on about "genderlocked" gear.

YES. I mean, total digression, but: why does my Au Ra retainer always bring bits of the Shisui sets back from Quick Explorations? Is she actually from the Ruby Sea and just picks them up on jaunts home so she can pass the trip off as 'work' and expense everything? (And why does my lalafell retainer always bring back furniture or bits of houses? Should I be watching for an angry mob of offended homeowners?)

(And I did specifically mention the Shisui set in a post. Albeit it was about two hours ago, which in thread-years works out to—checks notes—eleventy billion and three pages ago.)

[Packetdancer]

If that was truely the case, then why were they so adamant against making the bunny suit wearable my males for so long?

Because they examined the aetheric currents, and the resulting prophetic reading was "if you do this, people will make a thread arguing about glamour that stretches on for more than a hundred pages." And no one wanted to deal with that.

They weren't 'adamant against it' just took them a while to find the time to do it.

It the spirit of compromise; you know what option I would be like mostly ok with (51%)?
The option to be alone in your own CS. No other players with their glams turned off, just your PC and whatever NPCs need to be there.

Given most of the objection folks seem to have to glamours is being subjected to them in dungeon runs, trials, and raids, I feel like this wouldn't address the root issue.

And I would not want to heal a dungeon run where I couldn't even perceive the tank's existence (save as a health bar in the party list). Nor would I want to be the tank in a party where the healer could not see me.

If I remember it correctly they originally had aesthetic objections against it, then thought the playerbase was "joking" , then finally after threads and threads and threads said they would do it and THEN it took them forever to do it.
