Genderlocked gear. Again.

[HappyTrees]

It's very disappointing to see this happen yet again. I've never been a fan of male characters getting stuck with armor that covers up every inch of skin, but even putting that aside, the male version just looks bad. The very least they could have done was give males a unique shirt so it doesn't look like a bad Photoshop.

I get that they can't make separate versions for every set in the game, but for something like artifact armor it would be nice to see a bit of extra time put in to give us both versions of the armor or an option similar to /visor that lets us toggle between them.

Well this isn't a genderlock, but a gender variant, I think people need to understand the difference.
Still disappointing, but using the wrong terminology when we are addressing things we'd like the team to look at is going to lead to confusion if said feedback ever gets to them.

A lot of the male Nier clothes look really good. But let's be honest. Also the male Nier clothes are less interesting than the female counterparts.

If I was given the choice, I'd probably choose male variant of Nier outfits on most of them.

I can put up with the addition of cloth to men's clothing. I will put up with that.
But I absolutely cannot tolerate the addition of cloth to men's clothes to make them look uncool.������

Maybe I am just scared.
My sense is that the atmosphere in the Japanese forum is so queerphobic that I can't even utter the word queerphobia.
Thanks to the English forum for taking it up as an agenda item.

This is a small area change to the male clothing (legs).
It had a negative impact on the design. The diamond-shaped pattern was the identity of the leg.
Couldn't they have even changed the color of the fabric?

Could've been yellow to match the inside of the coat :x

Thank you for taking the time to add your opinion! People here will often say the English forum's opinion doesn't matter because the developer team doesn't listen to us, so it's very nice to see some solidarity across regions.

Thank you for posting about it on the JP forum as well, it's comforting to know there is feedback about it from multiple regions.

I hope SE understands how many players are talking negatively about it on social media too. The decisions are very disappointing and confusing... It feels like both PCT and RPR did not take into consideration the job's design when making changes.

Somehow this change is even more disappointing to me. I mean come on, the leg cutouts? Really? Why??? Agree at least a different color would be better.

Sigh. There goes my rocker boy reaper vibe.

Didn't notice this before that post and now am dead inside.
