There seems to be a trend of female characters having more gender-locked equipment available to them; if male gender-locked gear gear becomes available, females usually get some kind of equivalent. The new Gold Saucer Bunny set seemed to draw more attention to this imbalance. I even recall commentary about how the Sailor set was intended to be male-only but was given to both genders because the developers "liked how it looked" on females.

Is it harder for the developers to come up with male-exclusive gear?
