    This isn't a shot at them but a large portion of what seems to be the lgbt community in game dislike gender specific stuff. They've been pretty loud about it hence why SE has been making things unisex

    I understand, I still think having gender and race specific attire does add more in terms if diversity. I do not think inherently everything has to be made wiry everyone in mind.

    I totally agree with this. I really appreciate my other games where the gear is tailored specifically for each race & gender. And I REALLY appreciate it when there are no outfits that are male only or female only as we have in XIV. If there's an outfit in the game, both genders get their own variant. That M/F only junk belongs in a F2P game...not sure why we have it here. I also wish we could have stuck with race-specific hairstyles as well. To me, it just make each race feel more unique, and more grounded in the world itself.

    On a semi-related note, I also really love having mounts with unique abilities/specific uses vs. everything being the same and just having a different skin. Again, it goes towards making the world feel just that more real...even though we're all obviously just playing a silly game. While over here in XIV....OH HEY, there goes a flying chair! COOL. ._.;

    Now with that said, that ship sailed ages ago in XIV. Now we get a lot of bland, very similar looking short-spiky cuts for everyone, while the others look like they were clearly designed for once race/gender and then poorly stretched to fit everyone else. Same goes for a lot of the gear (mainly the ones that have been converted to unisex after the fact). One size definitely does not fit all. Like...fine, I get it, we're sharing everything now. That's obviously a decision SE is going to continue with. But...couldn't they at least try to tailor things to make them actually look good on the races? Little tweaks could make them look better on the different shapes and genders.

    Mini-rant aside, as we are so past the point of races and genders being unique, I'd love to see a female version of the Hildy outfit. lol.
