What even is this genderlocked nonsense again?

Please tell me the lalafell model is male because I hope the guys get those shorts at least.
I’m so tired of this genderlocked nonsense, boss.

The lalafell is a male, I can confirm.
Males have shorter eyelashes (female eyelashes are so prominent like a cartoon, you can see them in preview images like this one. Check the alliance raid gear models)
Males have dark eartips (female dunesfolk can replicate this, but I rarely see it)
While that idle stance is shared between both models, it's flipped. Guys pop their hips to the left, while girls pop it to the right.
That is the Ramza hair, but the form of it that changes to Alma's hair on females.

Oh, that is a male Lalafell idol stance? I thought it was a brand new one for 7.3 because I remember the pose has them place their hand behind there head.

You're right I just looked up a youtube video of the poses. I can't remember ever seeing a male lalafell do that pose, but sure enough they have it and the video is from 4 years ago.

The outrage would be justified... if we already had the outfits released and we could confirm that this is the case. For all we know, it could be a case of whoever was in charge of the previews only putting the girls in the feminine outfits and vice versa and people are complaining about something that never was. If it is the case, though, totally justified. See you guys on patch day.

They showed the blue and white outfit the male elezen is in right now during the live letter on a female viera and she had the same shorts design as the current black and white outfit the female is in right now

That does not mean a female pants variant and a male shorts variant don't exist, we just haven't seen it. We're on the same side, don't get me wrong, I also want both for everyone, but wouldn't it make more sense to confirm it actually is genderlocked before we get angry over it? I'll just wait for the patch and see it myself.

honestly feel like they should just give modders a pass already they did so for Final Fantasy XV i don't see why they couldn't do so again. it would free them up time and resources that could be better spent adding more things to the game and improving systems and quality. Baldur's Gate 3 did the same thing too.
think of all the hairstyles, facepaints, tattoos, an shared gear pieces we could get if they just outsourced too modders so many things would be solved by their dedicated fans in very short periods of time.

The requirements CBU3 have when creating anything are not, and will never be the same as modders. They've barely been awakened to the concept of optimizing their mods so you won't blow up someone else's PC upon spawning at a party.
Outsourcing to professionals? Sure! But not just straight up modders lol
