Stop FFXIV Gender Inequality!

[Laerune]

Honest question.

We're playing a game where anyone can be anything.

If you want dresses and skirts that much, more than what's already in game... why not just roll a female character, or fantasia into one?

What if they want to be a male who wears a dress? Since you can be anything that you want, isnt it normal to expect such choices?

For me its not the dresses, I dont like dresses on my character, but I can understand why some would love to glamour their character with dresses. What I dislike is how males get shafted again when it comes to glamour items. This has happend 3 times now, SE releases a patch where males get to share a outfit with females and females get another extra outfit for themself. We all read what happend when the community tought Setzer was male only. We got a 20+ pages about how its unfair that female dont get that outfit.

Now I and others want to have the same thing as the female avatars a bunny outfit. Why do people find it so upsetting that we want the same amount of outfits for both genders? I tought equality was a good thing, something we all wanted? I mean is this SE way of saying, female characters deserve more glamours then males, even tough we all pay the same amount subsciption fee?

I just want someone from SE to explain to us (me), why they thought it was a good idea to give female characters more glamours.

To those that tell us to chill out, I want the same treatment as others. Imagine if SE started releasing new hairstyles for Hyur only.... I bet my moogle cap that alot and I mean alot of players would come on the forum and complain to SE that they want to be treated the same as those that play Hyur. Now imagine if someone told you to chill out, its just a game.... how would you repond?

Having played TERA and seen how only the Loli race got the new outfits, class etc, this is unfair and I dont want this to happen to FFXIV.

Those are some fair points but mostly focused around a larger issue. In general, I think healers, for example, need more gear and glamor diversity. It's gotten a little better but it's still lacking very much compared to DoW options.

As for gender... Ehhh, yes, I'm not in favor of a great many genderlocked outfits. But also the male and female forms are different. If something's modeled for a female, there's extra work to then make it work on the bulkier male form. So I don't really have a problem with a genderlocked dress, of other garments that are traditionally female (due to the extra resource cost to make them unlocked).

Scylla's robe is a good example of something that is a dress in all but name but wearable by males, for example. And previous posters have mentioned other options...

So, even for a male, there are a good number of options. But if one wants literally everything available to female characters... it just seems to me like they might as well play a female character.

In any case, I would prefer more resources were dedicated to outfits more applicable to everyone. But I'm not sure why the focus is on genderlocking when gender is a cosmetic, changeable variable, while class locking (for example) has actual gameplay impact.

Apparently gender equality is not allowed for males in online games.

people need to chill out !!! its a game who cares if male chars CAN wear dresses or skirts or bunny outfits or bikini's its a game, not real life. we are here to escape from all the ploticially correctness of every day life.

fixed it for you

Why do people keep making jokes like this? It's not funny.

Technically when you think of it, can't fem roe be so muscular and huge that it get close enough to the build of a male char and therefor making it easier to remodel?
i mean i don't actually know anything about that

I'm sure Songi was being over-dramatic...I don't really want the males to wear it either...I wanna say let people wear what they want but sometimes there's a line to be crossed.
But who am I to say what people can't wear?

Possible. We all know sarcasm and text mix like oil and water.

As for the rest of your post, I don't particularly want to see man-bunnies or chippendales, either. But, hey, my camera rotates 360 degrees. Why not let the people who want the outfit have the outfit?

Merely imagining males in a Bunny suit is enough to scar me for life. I think I'd rather keep it gender exclusive thanks.

I just can't wait for the next version update, after this version update that will drop glamor gear that is more suited to one sex and have the players of the other sex complained that they are being ignored.

I don't care either way, but I can say I'd be the most dashing male lalafell bunny on balmung

I seem to remember a lot of female characters bitching when it was thought that the Setzer outfit would be male only. So yes, stop the sexism and make all outfits unisex.

No thanks. It's not even about sexism and more like people on this forum crying when things don't please them as usual. It would just look stupid to have male wear the bunny GIRL outfit because they aren't designed for unisex (showing off curves when males have no curves). They might as well make a different costume for male if they want to make it equal.
