Remove Gender-Lock From Gear / Glamour Please

[Esmoire]

Of course, to the thread, a big yes. More amazing suits for women, a whole bunch of cute accessories, shoes, and skirts for men, are all welcome.

This narrative this thread has shifted towards of "male characters don't have enough masculine-looking gear" is troublesome. I see dissatisfaction with the aesthetics of male character armour in general or lack of options, and to that, I completely agree. That said, I think it is a misdirection to hold it against people wanting more armour for all characters of all genders. As someone who plays a male character I want more of the female stuff to be equippable, but I also want more new gear for male characters that is conventionally masculine and flattering. I think the resources should go into both liberating old gear, as well as making sure gear sets going forward help to round out the available options. As long as the pipeline for new gear remains steady they don't need to be mutually-exclusive. Because we have new sets for dungeons, tomestones, etc., the developer always has another chance to do things right.

The people that deserve no audience are the people who don't want to see it at all. I mean, there's all kinds of things I don't like in this game like glowing mounts, 2b leggings, 90% of the cats people design, but you know? I don't complain. That's their character, not mine, and there is way, way, way worse things people can wear. You have to deal with the fact there's already some nice suits for women, skirts and dresses for men in the game already, so the moogle is out of the bag and your fragile ideals are already transgressed. I hope the developer keeps it coming.
