You will never be allowed to don the kingly attire of Titania.

On the contrary, we actually won the rights to wear said kingly attire. Feo Ul is only holding our place for us until we decide to take the mantle. But iirc, doing so would require shedding our mortality and form.

I've wanted Titania's dress for my female characters since Shadowbringers and wasn't impressed in the slightest by the cheap online store knockoff.

The dress, which is actually a gown, on its own is actually quite beautiful and elegant. I'm not quite sure it's supposed to mimic Titania's attire, but rather be representative of the Fae Folk. What Titania wears I consider to actually be a dress and I would absolutely love to have it. I think it would still need to be toned down a bit though. Give me the crown, shoes, updo (length would need to be lessened), and the dress minus all the flare, and square could just take my money now.

I guess with thinking limited as that we can't expect much from people who would sooner focus on a sentient bush and instead try and pass off this "King" nonsense when both Feo Ul and the original Titania are obviously female. Just wish they stuck with treating them with the respect high fantasy elements like this deserve instead of turning everything into a joke if not an attempt at subversive messaging in the english localization.

The bush head being a reward is actually right up the alley of the Fae. It's totally something they would do. The Fae themselves though are genderless, and as much as I hate to say it, use 'they, them' pronouns. That said Titania clearly is feminine and exudes it from head to toe, but 'King' is still the appropriate title for their ruler due to the rules of linguistics. I personally do not care and always use female pronouns when referring to her.

I love the Anden helm.

I'll admit, I don't like wings in mmos. GW2 in particular looks awful to me, and the wings I'm seeing in FFXIV aren't much better. But I can see why people like them, just not for me I guess.

I wouldn't mind getting faerie glamour like, hair styles and dresses.

Oh, like... there's nothing inherently wrong with the helmet, and I know people have fun with those (and Chocobo/Elephant/Tonberry) helms. It's more the general lack of pixie/faerie looking stuff that makes me sad. I just always try to make my OP posts somewhat funny to varying degrees of success.

I mean... Feo Ul DOES say we can always say we want to be Titania, take their place....

Maybe then we'd get some goddang rest.

I read a fanfiction about that. Arbert took the Warrior of Light's place, and they became Titania. Also they were in a romance with each other. Very weird.

I've wanted Titania's dress for my female characters since Shadowbringers and wasn't impressed in the slightest by the cheap online store knockoff. Overall I would have liked to have seen the fae play more of a role in the story in tandem with additional rewards...and then we get tone deaf responses like "Why would you want to summon Feo Ul as a scholar? She might pull a prank on you!"

You have female characters?! Mercy on the forum's collective soul! xD

Based of them, really. The Fae were above petty mortal things such as gender before it was cool.

(it was always cool, we just hadn't realized it yet.)

I think anything that isn't Titania's would fall short of player expectation, much like the OP pointed out. And in this case, I think that expectation is perfectly reasonable considering the game's own canon involving Il Mheg. The WoL is the rightful ruler of Il Mheg and the title of Titania. The Swamp Thing's glamour falls a wee bit short of that imo. A missed opportunity from the dev team, big time. They would have got a lot of praise getting glamours, hairstyles, and dresses in the list of items to buy with this currency.

I suppose. The Fae just aren't a binary species, and gender can't apply to them.
