More gender locked gear.

[zar]

Expeditioner's Gloves. Why are these gender locked? There is no male equivelent, so males basically miss completing the set. How are these even feminine?

[Canadane]

There's nothing wrong with gender locked gear.
However, hot having equivalents are pretty lame. Primal data centre is down right now, else I'd double check if there was or wasn't, but I'll take your word for it.

[AskaRay]

The gloves are a bit weird.
If I just keep thinking it was an accident I'll feel better.

[Serilda]

It must take longer for them to adapt gloves to our gigantic manly hands these days, we mustn't be so hard on them.

I don't have any real words for how pointless and silly this oversight was unless they're actively trying to antagonise us.

I'd honestly laugh if that were the case. Or if any future gender lock equips are of such minor differences that it's clear somethings going on lol. Nothing but gender locked belts that don't even show up. Would love it if that happened lol. The reason? Ignoring any potential spite on the devs behalf, it'd separate the crowds with the logical and the frothing at the mouth SJW types. People throwing a fit that pointless belts are gender locked, using the rising number of them as some sort of pointless evidence of a pointless argument. Ignoring the fact that that would mean that gender locked gear isn't a thing. The down side? That'd mean one or two things: 1) There's no more obviously distinguishable feminine and masculine glamour. 2) We'll never truly know what was going to be gender specific and what wasn't.

The ponytail hair for males makes you like princess

Trust me, there was much salt over this today, although I think most of my FC just thought I was being weird again.

But seriously, gloves? GLOVES? When they not only said they'd take more care to keep glamour options balanced in the future, but specifically pointed out head and hand equipment as easier to make unisex? This feels like a slap in the face.

I mean, it's certainly not because the items are too feminine, considering one of the unisex items this patch is the Ureaus Skirt, which looks like a miniskirt on both males and females. So what gives, SE? are you messing with us? Was Zhexos just trying to get us to drop the subject peacefully, at least until the next patch? Was he relaying the truth about the team's intentions at the time, but the designers get easily distracted by the shiny of female-only gear and just can't help themselves (and somehow lack any supervision whatsoever)?

Are we ever going to see a sincere attempt to balance things out? ONE update with no female-only gear and a few male-only pieces (Which wouldn't even have to be new or original, just a remodel of an existing set!) would go a long way. Heck, just unlocking the bunny ears would make me feel listened to (Though I'd still like the whole set to be unlocked for RHPS cosplay justice).

hur dur ESS JAY DUBYAS

did you seriously just create an anti sj wet dream dialogue situation where none existed just so u could insert how much u hate queers and women?

like this thread is literally just "so why are there pointless restrictions on this glamour gear?" and here u are with ur barely coherent train of thought all

"yeah i hate minorities too FUCK WITH EM DEVS HOO BOY"

I agree with Canadane here. There is nothing wrong with gender locked gear and when i checked out the Lodestone Database. It appeared that they forgot to include Expeditioner's Gloves for males, or that they might have made a mistake making the gloves gender specific.

If that was the case, then i’d be sure they would fix it through a patch or a hotfix. But, then i remembered that i saw the Expeditioner's Set within one of the recent trailers.



As you can see here, the Expeditioner's Set for male characters doesn’t appear to have gloves in the first place. So, by looking at it from that aspect, it’s not like they forgot the gloves for the set, but rather the set didn’t include gloves for males.

You could say that the set that’s currently available is not a mistake, but “by design”.
