Gender Locked Items (Lightning Edition)

[Lucke]

So the only way to get the opposite gender's gears is to create a new character, level it up to level 12 and re-do the quests? I was at one point considering to use the Fantasia. Problem is that I only had one Fantasia, and I wanted to revert back to my male character once I've gotten Lightning's gears.

45 actually. The chest clothing quest is level 45 but can be worn at like, 15 I think.

Personally, I think they should have just made the event doable at 2 levels. Level 15 for easy mode, and level 45 if you like a challenge. I'm leveling a female alt all the way to 45 just for Lightning's gear ugh. She's like 26 now. Hope I can get her to 45 before the event ends.

Oh yeah, I had completely forgotten that I need to to level it up to level 45 for the last quest. In that case, I think I'll skip on the Lightning gears then. D:

Really wish they'd let us get both sets of gears. Hopefully, they'll be more mindful of this kind of situation for future events.

Yeah, I'm doing the same. I've been ignoring both my male characters for quite a while since I don't care as much about Snow's outfit. I've only got a couple levels left to go with Dylise (my female character) before she can do all the Lightning quests. But racing her through forty-five levels just so I can get some good level 13 gear is definitely not the way I'd have chosen to play the game.

(I at least stopped the story progression at 20 as soon as she could get her chocobo, and stopped other quests even earlier, so that I won't have totally ruined the rest of the game by racing through it. I'll be able to do that at a proper pace later where I can really explore everything. I'll just have to do it with a different class, since I had to race through her arcanist/scholar progression that I'd originally intended to be her main class.)

Seems odd that they'd make the level requirement so high for promotional gear, level 13 would've been more than suitable seeing as some people who (especially with the steam release) might want to pace themselves.


Also, ironically page XIII on the thread now~

That's what I've thought, too, but apparently a lot of people on this forum seem to think that promo gear should be something you WORK SUPER HARD FOR RAWR!

How is this an issue? Deal with the fact you can't have everything.

I'm just holding onto the lighting one for now in case I actually do get enough support as they requested and they add in an NPC for event item exchanges.

How is this an issue?

You seem to have not read the original post.

These items are a 'one-time-only' event, the items have a value to some players (perhaps not to you personally).
Considering some of the items were gender-locked items they're now unable to be used, so a simple exchange system would fix the problem.

Deal with the fact you can't have everything.

That would only apply if this was something extremely difficult, strenuous or lengthy to implement, so moot point.

It's an NPC with a check value, something already in the game and easily changed;

if; (player) has item#(whatever)
then; offer item#(whatever)

It's a vendor system that's already set up in the game (See Rowena's NPCs and the Calamity Slavager), the item values are all that need to be added for;

Guardian Corps > Bohemian
Bohemians > Guardian Corps

Lady's Yukata > Lords Yukata

This yet again is a request, which they've said they'll add, it just requires the necessary support and general community "I would like this added" for it to happen.

If I was asking for a mechanical fire breathing unicorn with laserbeams attached to its forehead then your point would have some validity, as no such thing exists and therefore would take time to implement.

Don't confuse content creation with adjustment.

TL;DR

You're playing an MMO, if you want something added you simply ask for it,
If they don't want to add it they say No, which in this case they've said "Yes, if you get enough support"

Why not make all the gear available for all genders? I for one would rock Lightning's outfit!

Let the haters hate when stumbling upon a Guardian Corps Roegadyn.

ADD this NOW!
i want guardian corps set instead stupid bohemians.

I for one would be VERY pleased if the vendors let us buy both sets of vanity items. I never know what the future is going to hold for my character, after all. Vanity items are really fun for me and my friends, especially because we roleplay, and I would be disappointed if I changed to a boy and I no longer could use the fun items that I'd collected in the past. To have to feel like, "I was there for the 2014 Valentine's event and I completed it and all, but I couldn't get that nice red cook's outfit, just because I was a girl at the time," would be a little disappointing to me. It's not like it's gonna make or break my experience with the game, but I would be very appreciative of the ability to buy both sets if S-E is willing to add it.
