New glamour dress on a male (art)

[Radacci]

To the people who argue against giving options to characters I pose one question: Why?
Why limit?
If your answer is that it's too hard, take into consideration how quickly they changed male-exclusive items to unisex. Take into consideration that we are paying subscription fees for them to work, this is not a simply a labour of love, it is a job and as such their job should be to make their customers happy. ALL of their customers, which includes people who play male characters and want to see them dressed up pretty.

Transgender, gay, or ladies who want to look at pretty men, all of these reasons are valid and by no means so small a portion of the userbase so as to be negligible.

you can never ever make everyone happy. whatever they do, they will make other ppl annoyed.
you know like: nerf coil so more ppl can clear it....oh look at all the rage. make even harder coil...oh look at all the rage. Keep SoF difficult, or nerf it; rage either way.
that blm-jester set....oooh so not manly, we hate it. these ppl can use that, but not me? oooh i'm boiling. females have more clothing options? equality or riot! oh guys got skirts now? how annoying!
All the devs can do, is just do stuff their way; then ppl can just deal with it, or not.

If Kuja could get away with it...

well he's rather androgynous, and it's not really a feminine looking outfit.

There's a difference between changing the game and simply adding something for aesthetic, though. I haven't seen people "riot" over someone having options before. A few people expressing a personal dislike for seeing something they don't want to see doesn't, in my mind, equate to the outrage caused by being locked out of options due to gender restrictions that the game was KNOWN for not having back in 2.0.

there's lots of aesthetic stuff, ppl would like to see. I'm certainly for more options - maybe in time we will get much more, but they can't do it all at the same time. And considering the rather low interest in female->male dresses, it's probably not something they gonna focus on, for quite some time, if at all.
the only reason there's big fuss about females being locked out of something, is cause there's a lot of guys playing fem chars. there's never going to be as much fuss about it, if males are locked out from using fem looking stuff, cause most ppl don't want fem looking male chars.

Let me start by thanking the OP for the nice art, you have style and skill.

FFXIV is heading towards the same destination as TERA: Only female characters get new outfit and classes etc. Do we realy want this in FFXIV? When the female avatars could not wear certain male only outfits, they complained on the forum and the developers caved and gave them the new outfits. When male avatars got the same treatment, they complained, but the developers looked the other way. Why is there a difference in the way female and male avatars get treated?

Like Doki, I think its very hilarious that the majority of the players who are against equality are the ones that are playing a different gender. Lets be honest here, majority of the anti-equality players are MALES playing a FEMALE AVATAR. Its funny, they think its weird and disgusting to be a male avatar with female outfits, but they themself are males playing a female character.... its the same.

Its a glamour, what another player wears is not going to effect you and if it does, then you need help. But the worst offenders is not them, but Square Enix for being oke with restriciting one side of the playerbase. Square Enix needs to be honest and explain why males can not have the same right as females. Is it, because the developers themself dont like the idea of a male wearing the female outfit? Is it, because the Japanese culture is not open to male crossdressing?

Whatever the reason is, we are all paying subscription fee to glamour, raid, level etc our avatars. Either make all outfit uni-sex, make female outfits only for female and male outfits only for males. But dont give one side of the playerbase extra oufits and screw over the other side.

A slightly modified top with some loose trousers added beneath would be nice nice. Of course, then I'd want that slightly less feminine version of the dress on my female character too... >.>

[Sterre]

While I understand why people want all the gear to be unisex, I have to disagree with this one. I'm not against men wearing dresses, everyone are free to do what they want, but the reason why I don't want male characters be able to wear this specific gear is that it's designed to look very feminine, at least it looks that way in my eyes. Male characters being able to wear the new dress would be the same as if they would be able to wear spring dresses. It doesn't fit the world of FFXIV. If they make the dress less feminine, I won't have anything against it. Let the male chars have their dresses, but not looking exactly same as it's now.

What are you calling a handful because I see hundreds of males in revealing/feminine clothes in a day in Mor Dhona on a single server. Like I said, these things can be worn on a piece by piece basis. Can you imagine that skirt under some of the long jackets? That top with some of the stuff for jobs like ninja? The headpiece would look so good with everything and the criss-cross sandals are also very generally appealing for glamour.

[Nephera]

Dang op. That looks baller.

Apparently the JP side is upset about this too, so both of our groups are in accordance on an issue for once.
