Stop FFXIV Gender Inequality!

[sarehptar]

As someone who fantasia's back and forth between genders frequently because of glamour and looks, gender restrictions on clothing are so frustrating. They give us the power to change literally everything about our characters whenever we choose (to pay), but then punish us for making that decision by making so many items inaccessible to male characters.

I feel like the mindset behind this is always "Oh, not that many males would want to wear something like so-and-so so it's not worth the resources." Even skipping over the fact that Square seriously has a poor track record of guessing what actual males will and will not want to wear in their games (look at all that bulky, hideous armor that guys are glamoring out of left and right, lol), that mindset totally ignores the decent percentage of girls like me who like to play male characters. "Adorable" and "sexy" gear for females is often designed with the idea that male players will be using those female characters and appreciate the fanservice. God forbid Square admit that girls even play male characters and might also want to make their characters look cute or fanservice-y. (Or that guys themselves might want to make such characters too!)
