For the 129392831203123801 time. STOP IT with the genderlocked gear.

I can't tell if you are serious or not but I kind of agree a bit. Healers should be restricted to female characters and dps / tanks restricted to males.

As a male healer, I rather disagree. That and my only thought of ever making a female character would be as a Black Mage, so I further disagree.

It was obviously ironic.

Yeah you're right. I still agree with gender locking all gear though.

And next genderlocked jobs, genderlocked hair coulours, genderlocked gears colours (how dare a female wear blue, a male color ????)

Good idea, who knows they might put it in 3.3.

Free fantasia for those not the right gender for the job.

As creative as I've seen people. They can come up with an outfit similar to a dress. But regardless. As mentioned. This just isn't the game for that. It's not skewed towards that. And rather than people complaining about it. Go find a game more to your suiting (I use 'your' generally btw, not picking you out).

It's almost like if you go play Skyrim and say they release new gear (fictitious example btw) and one complains "they're not letting me dress in a bikini" the game is not about that.

When it came out, this game was about that. On its release, FFXIV:ARR had total equality between the genders. Through its first few major patches, it continued to have complete equality between the genders. Every single piece of gear that one gender had could either be worn by the other or had an equivalent that could be worn by the other. Then later on, SE started adding updates that broke its pattern, introducing more and more female only gear. We're not asking for a change in the game, but for a return to the standards it released with. These sort of "this isn't the game for that" arguments just don't fit here, since it is the game for it (and was, in fact, one of its selling points).

Now seriously, most if not all the new lv1 glamour gear is basically genderlocked. STOP IT ALREADY.

It is not most and again, SE owes you nothing for playing a male character. Get over yourself.

Why would they give away free fantasia? FF16 isn't going to fund itself.

Posts like this almost make me wish there was a down-vote option.

It has nothing to do with expectations of being, 'Owed,' something for choosing a gender option at Character Creation. If there are any expectations, it would be that the content of the game, regardless of how minor, is available equally between the choices SE gives players, such as gender, race, and tribe/clan. While we are discussing something relatively minor (aesthetic options such as gear), it is no less valid a concern to bring up, when there is an obvious and glaring disparity. Either gear should be entirely gender-neutral, or an equal number of sets made for male and female specifically, with equal detail and care made into the making of them.

Would you prefer if they said that the majority of glamour SE release is either unisex or for female characters only?

Well if this thread has taught me anything it's that people are way more crazy about glamour a then I thought. Sheesh. And that gender equality debates can't ever be escaped even in an online fantasy escape.
