Gender Locked Gear

[MeiUshu]

but at the same time if a man wants to dress with woman gears and vice-versa, more so in a fantasy game, there shouldnt be those gender locked stuff, especially in this case, a hat that could be unisex if made dyable since the only thing that changes is the colour of the Feather.

Some spoke of *fear* and gets offended, this is not a question of fear is just a matter of leaving the choice to people to dress as they see fit and find what suits them best be it in wht is supposed to be male or female gears and, customize their toon the way they want without having a limitation that makes no sense and that way SE could allocate ressources to better things then gender locked material.

I concede to that, but the whole debacle is still silly lol

I can understand some limitations, such as the Lightning clothing, bunny set etc...

It's not a problem of discrimination or lack of expressions. That gear was made for a specific sex, so it just doesn't fit properly on a different one or it doesn't represent what it intends to represent.
For example, a male wearing Lightning's gear wouldn't represent Lightning at all, because Lightning is female.
You can start a discussion about "but there are other games that switched sex between games, such as Spiderman and Spiderwoman etc etc!" but this is not the case; Lightning is Lightning, a she.
Now you'll be like "but I am free, I should be able to wear whatever I want!" and yes, you should, but that specific gear represents something in this world, therefore you can't change it's purpose.

Real world stuff should't affect a fantasy world, since this world is not a representation of the real one, therefore it has different rules and people should understand them.


We've reached a point in society that now everything can be discriminaory; it's too chaotic sometimes. I like to play fantasy games so I can escape reality, so please, don't try to change it :/

You said it all, specially with that line, this is a fantasy world with a story, a background, a lore and setting behind it, it has rules, it's not a sandbox game that you can do whatever you want to do, you got real life for that and other games. Let this be the Final Fantasy it's meant to be.

Fair enough I agree.

I don't think anyone deserves anything from SE. They can do w/e they want. If it wasn't for them Might not even be playing an MMO right now.

I don't understand entitlement to someone's product. They make what they want. You either support it with cash or you don't. I can't tell you how many times I've wrote fictional stories to have plot requests. If you don't like the current plot, write your own or find a new story to read.

Just wanted to throw in my vote:

I like racial and gender differences in the clothing. And the job gear too, for what its worth. It makes our characters unique.

I don't like the fact that it's pretty one-sided in favor of females right now. I wish the males got more exclusive options too. A comparable amount.

The hat thing is stupid. It's one color on one tiny part. It looks almost identical to some other hats that are genderless. The ribbon can be /visor'd away. This is not the hill to die on.

Did it ever occur to people that it's gendered because it's a couples event? It kinda makes sense in a way.

Did it occur to you that same gendered couples exist? And that the game allows you to do the event as such.

EDIT: That looks a lot harsher than I intended, but point still stands. Gender locking for couples reasons when same gender couples are allowed is silly design.

Same sex couples can wear the same hat then. lol

Same sex couples can wear the same hat then. lol

What if they prefer to wear the other one tho?

Heaven forbid a guy/girl wears whatever they want in a video game.
