Gender Unlocked Gear Requests (PAX East Panel)

[strigiformes]

At the PAX East panel this weekend, we heard that the dev team would be amenable to unlocking gender gear depending on popularity of items, and that we should take to the forums to let them know which ones we want! So I'll start. I'd really love to have the wedding gear be unlocked, specifically the Tailcoat set:





Also, when we do get the 7-11 items, the Butler set...

Which items would you like to see gender unlocked? I know quite a few people who'd love to have the bunny set for their male characters!

Edit: Thanks Bayohne for the clarifying post! My intent for this thread was exactly what you stated, so I hope it's okay if I paste your instructions here too:

Bayohne:
During the panel, Yoshida was asked about unlocking some of the currently existing gender-locked pieces of gear. Yoshida commented that to take every existing piece of gear and change it would take quite a lot of time and resources to accomplish on the design end. However, that doesn't mean that there can't be changes made. He said that the team is open to doing specific pieces at a time based on your feedback.

With that said, I'd like to suggest that instead of listing every piece of gear that currently exists, that you each list out specific pieces of gear that you would like prioritized.
If you agree with the item posted by another user, simply giving it a "Like!" on that post will help us see the demand and can help the team to prioritize.

I want the bunny ears accessible to men

I know this is against what they want, but I feel like it should be said that some genderlocked gear should still remain as is.
Keeping appearances unique to ones gender and race isn't a terrible thing.

That being said, I wouldn't mind the Expeditioner's Coat on this list.

I agree. Worse yet I fear that by removing the gender lock we'll just end up seeing the vast majority of gear designed to fit female characters first and foremost which has been a common complaint by those of us who enjoy being able to have something distinctly 'masculine' to kit our characters out in. A lot of caster gear is notorious for being very feminine/adrogynous in its design. Particularly healer gear. The same argument could be made for a lot of BRD gear...and the recent victory 'dance' didn't help much either. Nor do most of the 'dance' emotes in general...as they're again very clearly designed right off of the bat to be feminine/adrogynous. The exception being the Vanu Vanu dance.

I don't think removing the gender lock automatically leads to that, we've already got masculine gear for both genders like the Noct set or the Best Man's Tux. We just need to make it clear we'd like more of that good stuff too.

Spring Dress, Thavarnian Dress, Wedding Dress, bunny outfit. While we're at it, let me glamour the SMN Eso gear onto my BLM please, it's such a nice looking piece compared to the icky BLM Eso gear.

Expeditioner Tabard for Men please.
Bunny Ears BOTH sets.

I would want the High House set that males get because the coat is much cooler than the dress females get. I also would want the male Expeditioner set because it is also better than the female version.

Expeditioner's Coat and the High House set for ladies, please! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
