6.3 Live Letter

I'm mostly wondering if they made the swim shorts not gender-restricted...but I'm leaning towards "no" considering history in that regard.

Yeah I don't have my hopes up that the swim bottoms won't be gender restricted. I know they said they're not, but I'll bet a million gil the icon shows the male version while projecting different on females. Like how most swim wear seem to be ever since we moved from that first set.

These Casting (?) gloves, lol. Ravel Keeper Halfgloves of Casting version 2.0... I've been wanting some "all classes" gloves like that since forever. ;_;

Agreed. They look good and I'll certainly be looking to make use of them, but now mages have two sets of these and the other jobs are still lacking them. I would love to get something like these in the glamour sets, and not another pair of generic wrist-length gloves that I'm never going to use.

(At absolute least, more designs for fingerless gloves and not full gloves, please!)

I already mentioned it:

It isn't genderlocked, when they showed the map glam they said "it isn't gender-locked like the other set we showed earlier", meaning the "whoops not pvp set". Get your banana hammock on with tiddies out in style.

The likely-island sets won't be gender locked. Just like the island sets before them.

Just because both genders can wear them doesn't mean what they show once equipped can't be different. I mean we are dealing with swim wear. A clothing style that has a long history of looking one way via their icons only to behave the same way the hempen pantallettes tend to be. Or the Neo Ishgardian set.

Guys can literally wear the booty shorts from the original island sets and gals can wear the longer shorts from the original island sets, though. If they're staying with that because it makes their players happy, then gals will be able to wear the board shorts and guys can wear the bikini bottoms. It was said in the live letter itself last night, straight from the XIV discord translation irt the treasure map glam: Y "Just like the glam we showed earlier, these are not gender locked"

Prior to that, they showed the PvP Season 3 rewards (which looks the same on anyone equipping them anyway) and before that was the likely-island sets. I have no reason to believe, especially when they said the prior island sets were not gender locked, that these will be one set but changed for everyone. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, but everything points to "it's not genderlocked, wear your long shorts if you want" right now.

Which is what I hope happens. That you're not wrong and that everyone gets to wear whatever tops and bottoms they want fron this new set. Yet I think there's still a lot of doubt if not bitterness since we just had a similar set come out that had a different projection depending on gender. With the swim outfit from Moonfire Faire. The shorts might not be as long or be the thing that has the pattern on it this time, but a lot of people wanted to be able to wear the other gender's look. And in that picture we have the men having an open top with a necklace and some board shorts. Just like back then. Where we also have the women's outfit being the open shirt with a bikini top and bottoms without the necklace. Which again is how it was back during the summer. I think some of us are just trying to not to hype up our expectations of a glamor piece even when we hear not gender locked. As there's very few times where the devs have gone and made something be akin to the modern school uniforms. And not have not gender locked only mean that everyone can wear it, but just like almost every whm shorts or pants end up not looking like shorts or pants on female characters.

I know complaining about this has no use whatsoever but why can't they for once design a good looking maiming set. Always pseudo tank design.

The complaint is even more valid because we have Reaper now and most of heavy looking sets just do not work well with that class...

After seeing this I badly want to change my god to Halone.

[KageTokage]

Given that we have five of the gods appearing in this tier, it makes me wonder if perhaps there's a 13th god who was lost to time and memory that's going to be revealed in the last tier.

It would also technically give us a total of 14 gods if you choose to count Nald and Thal as separate entities.

The tops will be genderlocked for sure as it makes no sense for a male to wear a bikini top and women cant have a open shirt (even though some people would love that >_>). We also have tons of beach shoes and sandals so even if they are genderlocked it makes no difference as we already have some. The panties? I guess if males want to wear women’s panties then they will probably have the option.
