Valentione's Day Comes to Eorzea on 1 February

Its actually already capable of being worn by both genders as theyve shown a male miqote wear the dress. Again modders dont do crap

Do you have evidence for this? Because not every gear can be worn by both genders and races. And there's one race whose members feel oddly reliant on them for more than mere aesthetic modifications.

This feels like a slap in the face considering they just unlocked all the previous Valentione's outfits.

What are you doing, SE, you keep saying you want to remove genderlocking going forward, but then you add MORE locked items, and even more items like the new Euphrosyne gear were some piece (PANTS! IT'S ALWAYS THE PANTS!) are drastically different between male and female models. Just once I'd like to be able to be excited about new gear without being immediately crushingly disappointed.

Someone on youtube uploaded a video showing them both on the male and female miqote, but you can see a problem in that video. The male outfit on the female model is flat chested because its actually just using the male model. The dress seems to work on male miqote. Male miqote shares with male midlander, so is that because Astrid is going to put on the dress and elezen children are maybe just using male midlander models? I heard the dress is flat out broken on male roe and male highlander.

Now it feels like we lost track of what we had revealed to us, just moments before.

As to what Lukha said.., they may as well just reward a gear token for each expansion that works for all (Current)Alliance Raids that can be traded for gear.

Step 1) Release Gender locked items for event
Step 2) Make it unisex a year later for real life $$$.

I mean, they are a company.

You can buy it again with in game currency from a npc. I have both sets from the previous event and it only costs a few gil per male piece.

Eh, more armoire fodder. Honestly more hyped about the chocolate eating emote than the outfits.

I look forward to that they've done it before in the past. My character may at the moment only be able to wear the male attire but it's nice to have the female attire for any future time probably.

I'm pretty sure that previous event only automatically gave you the set for your gender and you had to earn the other, and in any case I think you can now buy it from the Calamity Salvager (or the other one that deals with seasonal gear).

I think it let you pick, but it's been a couple years so I admit I don't remember for sure. I did get both sets, so I know I got one for the quest and then went and got the other; I just swear I could recall grabbing the male set first because I liked it more and figured "worst case, I can stick it on my retainers or Kai-Shirr" and then grabbing the female one afterwards. But it's not really super important; either way, the key was that you could get both sets.

If there's still a way to earn the coffer for the opposite-gender set (so I can stick it on my retainers or Kai-Shirr or whoever, and have it around for the eventual unlock), then yeah, that's no worse than it's ever been. The write-up on the Lodestone made it sound like it would only give you the one for your current gender, and I feel like that would be a step backwards; even without gender unlocks on gear, we do have custom delivery folks we can glamour, and retainers we want to be stylish (because, hey, fashion is true endgame in everything), etc.

My WoL is going to get diabetes.
