Valentoine event was great! But the rewards contradict the message

[Atelier-Bagur]

The rewards and the silly issue
The rewards are a good one this year, not only an emote and another piece of furniture (Something I'll have to try and stow in my massive clutter of a storeroom later), but also two amazing outfits! The same "sweet" outfit now worn by Emilie.
However, with the message being Love yourself and wear what makes you comfortable, why are these outfits both locked to a gender?

A hypothetical question of course, with no intent to undermine what the FFXIV development team has done so far when it comes to de-gendering clothes!
I suspect with the release of the extra content like Deep Dungeon and the Ultimate in 5.3, and even more content coming in 5.35, the resources were spread thin in the first place.

I'm just throwing this thread up here to point out how it feels a bit silly,
and to hope they will get around de-gendering these outfits soon!
Just like what was done with all the other event items!

I have yet to do this but are you able to get both male and female outfits in the event? If thats the case then its highly likely they just didnt have enough time to rig the clothes to be wearable for both genders and its extremely likely itll be gender unlocked within the next patch.

Yeah you can buy both outfits from the vendor afterwards! And indeed I figured as much, though I found it funny they didn't pay extra attention to this considering the message
