    Anyone slightly annoyed that they made the tux unisex? There are so many items gender locked to female already, it's hard finding anything that defines my male character as just that, male. It's a little frustrating and I don't understand the inequality between genders.

    Asian MMOs have always favored the female gender in regards to customization. /console

    Probably because a guy wearing a dress would seem weird. In real life its a lot more socially acceptable for a girl to were guy clothes then the other way around.

    As a guy who often wears dresses and skirts, I'd say it depends on your friends/local subculture. Girls wearing ties is, in America, treated about the same as guys in skirts/dresses. Fine in some subcultures, frowned upon by the general culture. Different in Japan though, where it's totally fine.

    I have to entirely agree with this. As a male myself, it is a little frustrating when females can wear almost everything we wear, and it can't be the same back. Do I want to wear a dress? No, it's not what I'm into, but we need more equality

    Probably because like always some parents in america will likely raise a stink over it and try to sue SE or take it to the media sayin "LOOK AT WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN!" so on so forth. Basically if this game was Japanese MMO only, it would be fine, but the fact it's released in America and Europe? They have to take into consideration those cultures too.

    No. Because suits and tux are not exclusively male in nature any more.

    That isn't the point. When the spring dress came out, the sailor outfit was supposed to be male exclusive, but they decided to make it unisex because "It looked good on female models". How is that fair? Just because it can be worn by either gender doesn't mean it should be. And I'm not saying this in a anti-gender, anti-gay manner... I just want armor that'll separate my character and make *him* look unique.

    Just to make a small point, while there's nothing wrong with a little gender-bending, being gay and cross-dressing are not at all inherently related :P
