Gender Locked Clothes

[Hobbs]

I do not think clothes should be gender specific.

I do not think it is a political issue, unless people make it one.

Why not let people do what they want.

I have heard people say "If you don't like it go play another game." well, what game?

Wouldn't it be nice to have an MMO where people could wear what they wanted... I think ffxiv is already really awesome in the fact that the cross gender clothes look pretty much the same on each gender. Plate armor actually looks like plate armor, and skimpy looks skimpy regardless of male or female. That is awesome. it is not gender bias. So why should a dress be gender bias? Why should a skirt?

This isn't some trans-gender crossdressing outside world political agenda.

It is simply giving people the freedom to mix and match whatever clothes they find in the game without worrying about whether or not they are the right gender to wear it.

On one hand: yes, yes, YES already. Gotta love how females always have that +1 option for clothes, because there's basically no "male only" anything anymore (racial gear remains though I don't know why that even, and some beachwear parts are locked for males too but they all have a pretty much identical looking female counterpart), but dresses and skirts are still "female only". Yes, we got the Plain Long Skirt. Yes, some gear pieces are simply skirts - but notice how if equipped on a female character, they are just that: a skirt; whereas equipped by a male character, bam, they got trousers underneath the skirt. It's very inconsistent in a way, and rather frustrating.

On the other hand: yeah, I get it, the dev team is very small. However, I do get tired of hearing that excuse for everything that's being discussed/requested...

I completely support this u.u/ (females can dress the best man clothes, but males cant have the dress <o<)

I don't wanna see that.

I understand Cloud dressed like a girl and other video games did it, though it was only a one time thing and meant to be funny.
I cannot see this happening Non stop in the game, dudes running around in bra and panties and dresses.

People might give me crap for posting, who cares I just don't wanna see it.

Nah, it's just your opinion XD - but yeah, probably lot of people would be having males running around in summer dresses
I just think, that if they don't do this to females, and they can have male clothes (like best man's thing), it should be that there would be clothes that aren't female only.

I know what you are talking about.

Not limit things like that to just females, I agree to a extent the bra's and panties thing should be for woman only.
I couldn't think of a reason dudes would be doing this other than drag or a funny thing or trolling other guys trying to get close to them making them un easy.

Though yeah the best man suit is good and should have more stuff like that something like the turks from final fantasy 7 wouldn't mind seeing a suit like that both can wear.

Not that I'm judging but I have no desire whatsoever to "cross-dress" in real or fantasy life.

HOWEVER! There are many great looking headgear and trousers in this game that are female only for no visible reason that I DO want to wear!

The gender locking seems really arbitrary and quite honestly something we shouldn't encourage in modern video games.

Honestly, if this were done, there might be a flurry of additional cross-dressers which would die off pretty fast. After that, the handful of people with an actual demand for these pieces would be mostly trolls doing it to shock people ("Hur hur I'm a musclebound Roe dude in a dress, aren't I hilarious?") and a much smaller minority of people who honestly like the look or enjoy crossdressing their characters.

As much as I think it would be more fair if this was a thing, the simple fact is that this is a substantial amount of extra work for something that does not have a lot of demand. I doubt that it will happen. (Women dressing in men's clothing, though, caters to a MUCH larger demographic, both among male and female players, which is why it IS a thing already.)
