Crossdressing.

FFXIV has been very forward thinking, and compromised due to the collective fan base's requests. There's still a long way to go in the real world when it comes to gender equality, a MMORPG isn't going to be the groundbreaking civil rights leader.

This guy put it very well. IMHO this is a game. The devs aren't politicians nor some civil/human rights leader. We should really keep these issues out of the game and enjoy the game, as a game, period. Stop making the devs "wasting" their time to even ponder about these tacky political issues when they should focus more on developing the game and gameplay. The fight is in the real world to fight for real world rights which is where we want it to happen and where the value is at. Having all your LGBT whatever rights in a game have no meaning when there is none in the real world.

They took Miqo'te butts so that we could have male Miqo'te and female Roe. That strongly implies, if not a common model, at least a certain commonality of proportion. Given that commonality, it would take all of... what? Fifteen minutes per outfit? To develop a male version. I don't think it would be time wasted, though I do acknowledge that there would probably be a smaller number of male characters wearing "female" clothing than vice-versa, simply because modern culture does still place a stigma on dressing "like a girl."

I for one am playing as a lady right now, and I would love to wear Clouds or Cids outfit, or the butler outfit I got from Amazon. It's a real shame that I can't put those on.

I believe females can already wear clouds outfit.
