More gender locked clothing

[Buff_Archer]

I'm very disappointed in SE for continuing to release gender-locked clothing that give people who play female characters way more possible options than those who play male characters. After Gold Saucer came out with all the additional options for females but no equivalent male versions, I thought SE said they'd give us more options on the future but clearly it's not important to them. No, I don't want to wear the fishnets from Gold Saucer but if there is the whole Bunny set for female players how come we get nothing? And the Gambler set doesn't count as making things fair because that can be worn by both male and female players.

And now we have the Thavnanairian sets... there are other threads about how expensive they are, so that's not the point of this one. The Thavnairian Bolero/ Turban/ Gloves/ Sarouel can be equipped by male/female characters... but then there's the Thavnairian Headress/ Bustier/ Armlets /Tights / Sandals sets that are female only.

Why should players who choose to play female characters get 2x the options as those who play male characters for so many of the high profile sets designed for purpose of glamour? If you're creating a Thavnairian Bustier set only for females, could you not do an additional set designed in a way appropriate for males or is your imagination that limited?

If you are disappointed that SE continues to go down that path from a glamour gear design standpoint, please say so.

I mean personally I DO want to wear the fishnets on my male character... but anyway
really if that's just too hard it's not like they can't edit items to look different on different genders.

Stop this SE

I agree, but even on other fronts of certain gear sets. Biggest example being the Scylla robes. It looks really good with female characters, and looks like an abomination of a robe for men.

But I'm going to take a pretty good guess and say SE's answer will fall along the same lines as Tera's per their female only classes. They're going to cater to the most common to get the most mileage out of the least amount of resources. This being female only sets thrown out more often than any kind of decent male only set.

I wish the Thav bustier was

1) not gender locked
2) two pieces

I would wear the bottom part of that to go with the elezen hempen undershirt (black) in a heartbeat on Gale. I don't think that would look too outlandish as a Black Mage set for an elf.

Good point re: the Scylla gear... with that, and a lot of Healing (and to a lesser extent casting), to wear it without glamouring it essentially means going in drag... so they're willing to put me in a granny dress if I equip Scylla's Healing gear... and yet I can't wear a pair of bunny ears because that would somehow be wrong.

(FYI male bunnies do exist, if they didn't we would have run out of female bunnies long long ago)

I support this. There is way too much option for female characters. I am not saying to take away those options, but to give the male character that same option. Why do we have to have such limited amount of outfit. Females even get to wear male clothes that is more options to them

This is very much a thing and a related topic has dozens of pages complaining about and promoting this http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...light=Male+art

I even made my own design on page 59

If this keeps up, it might one day be like PSO2 where 50% of the clothing is gender locked to female.

Lots of similar thread has been made but so far no reply from SE, but well, maybe they'll reply one day when they get tired of us making those. Let's just hope this one doesn't turn in a drama-war.
