Gender Locked Battle Cpose

[Natsuno]

This is ridiculous.

I keep waiting for someone to complain because breasts are gender locked. >.>

His name is Robert Paulson. (No seriously, there's 21 of them according to lodestone)

On topic: 'Why not both?'

I hate to say this, but I wouldn't hold your breath on that one.

... Until people realize males have breasts, too.

They've thought ahead for this already!
The Hellfire Armor of Fending has cleavage view for both genders.

You can actually give your Dragoon a sex change if you want the pose so bad and don't want to start a new character.

Exclusivity =/= Uniqueness

To try and give an example, you have 3 choices of something A, B, C. Each of those three choices has two sub choices. A,1,2 ; B,3,4 ; C,5,6. With that system you have only 6 combinations to choose from.

Now with those same three choices but they can all chose from the six sub choices, you have 18 combinations to chose from.

You tell me what gives more uniqueness.

Look at it from another perspective using FF14 jobs. Nobody is locked out from choosing a WHM at any time, however Cure II is unique to the job. What if we started demanding that Cure II be made available to any job? Cure II would not longer be a unique, job defining skill, would it?

That doesn't apply to the discussion at hand. The point of choices in jobs is to pick what will make you the most effective in the roll you want to fill.

The battle poses do a great job of expressing each character's personality through their job. I'm bewildered as to why said personality expression also has to be locked to the character's gender, especially with how many effeminate men and giant powerful women exist in game lore.

I mean, you know...that entire race of women who are exclusively gigantic, muscular, and powerful. That entire race of polyamorous, vaguely-feminine supermodel men with cat ears who are largely valued by their tribes as marital currency and breeding stock. (Though...in very different ways depending on whether we're talking about Keepers or Seekers.)

I really wish I had the female MNK pose. The male one doesn't really fit the personality I want to give my character.

[Mugiawara]

Dragoon females should have the Iconic DRG pose like the male's...

[Riepah]

Since the OP is asking for options, rather than "override the female version with the male version" like some people's threads about gear, I can support this.
