STOP Genderlocking Cosmetics!!

[Rannie]

Yeah they’ve gone on to use twitter and reddit, the two most toxic cesspools of social media, to gauge community interests and use them for story advice. It’s why i’m not looking forward to future additions lmao.

Lol and I had great deletion timing ill just copy and repost


Hn they've given up on the forums. The dev tracker doesn't even show up on the side anymore for my forum view... not to mention actually going to the dev tracker page

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...rchid=99435249

All you see is mostly German Japanese and some French responses... the English ones just don't give a damn anymore and that's kinda making me mad even as a 1.0 legacy player (granted the general forums are sometimes a cesspool but come on they could answer or delete threads more)

Anyway yeah I remember (back in my day sunny) them young whippersnappers know as devs would respond. *rocks in her rocking chair knitting* what were there names again... Ah Fernewalls, Bayonne, Cayamat (sp?) Then there was that sweet lass Rukiiri who left for another job....

Sorry had an old person moment

Trololo

None of them would dare wear a kilt IRL but are loud on the forum.

It would matter if jean's-sketchers wasn't the average unisex uniform IRL (more or less "rave party vs city slim vs sportwears as some kind of originality. Super.).

I don’t necessarily want Ryne’s dress, bit too plain for my tastes, but I would love her shoes for my male character. Like LOVE them.

And there's the problem, you're gonna double the dev's development cycle with this kind of request. When you want Ryne's shoes, the other side that wants women to use men's clothes will want Thancred's boots.

The solution they will/probably/should give to this request is to make an alt of the opposite gender when the need arises.
There are many times I want to play as a lalafel, so I then go ahead and make an alt.

I have a theory, but I suspect more glam may be genderlocked from here on out. As happy as people are for getting male Viera and female Hrothgar, I think it'll come at a cost. It'll be more sensible and less time consuming to give glam to specific body types, than for the team to overwork themselves in expanding it to ALL body types. So yes, people got want they wanted: more gender and races...

...for a price.

It’s a damn good price then. Less genderlocking and more masculine/feminine glams and hairstyles for each gender. Seems like a win win for me

Pretty much. The entire process of transferring the finished model from one race/sex combo to another should largely be automated since all playable models should be using the same base skeleton with different width/length of their body parts and the only notable differences between a male and female character is breasts, hips and possibly the butt, all of which should already be included in these weights. Only two things that should need an through check is helmets due to different head shapes and attachments such as shoulderpads, cloaks, belts and other doodads not tied to the base model.

You are spouting complete nonsense, AGAIN. Go do your research please, this is just dumb now.

First of all, no, they do NOT use the same base skeleton, like AT ALL.

Second, they all have COMPLETELY UNIQUE RIGS.

Third, they all have unique animations for various poses etc. Why does that matter? Because all the outfits need to be made to fit those animations as to not bug out, so you don't end up with things being inside-out etc. Because there are no collision physics, this needs to be custom made for EVERY race and EVERY gender for EVERY outfit.

Please, just stop. You understand less than nothing about 3d modeling.

If it is a cosmetic item that I am paying for why should I have to make a whole new character just to be able to use it. Also I’m not complaining that I can’t use them, I’m just saying I like them and would like to be able to use them.

Maybe.... I dunno, don't buy female outfits if you play male character? I mean, that would *seem* like the logical thing to do, right? RIGHT?

The trans and homophobia I have seen on this thread IMHO is actually more than a bit disgusting. Ya'll need to get with the 21st century already. There is no place for homophobes or transphobes around here, and I personally support the LGBT community 100%
