MAN BUNNY

He also said he really wouldn't want unisex items for everything as it would mean less items overall due to development time...:/ Is that why we've been waiting 6 months+ for male bunny ears lmfao...

Hey! they've been busy making the beds to lie on in costa del sol and other random stuff that no one asked for.

I am guessing, unlocking the Bunny outfit for males is his (Yoshi-P) way of justifying the release of another female outfit only (Edda dress). I am glad that the males get their bunny outfits (after one year and 9 months), but this feels like one step forward, two steps back.

Q. No plans on adding a book that can store and manage equipment?

A. all i can say now is please through away what you don't need until that day comes. I do understand how you feel...I'm the type of person who leaves the gear i like inside my armoury chest and my retainers are packed with equipment, but it becomes endless. throw them away or turn them into Grand company seals. so i would like players to clean out their retainers at the end of the year.

This. Just. Broke. My. Heart.
NO.
I WON'T DO THAT.

Also, only 20 fish for the aquariums? I just went on a fishing/shopping spree and got like 40 that I really like..so I might have to wait years until they get implemented? x.X
Urgh.

Sophia sounds really interesting and fun though. And lol, I keep forgetting that raid finder even exists...

I am happy to hear we might get a male version of the bunny suit, yay, but the Edda dress, and not maintaining "equality" that is some serious bull. It's easy to say "we wont maintain equality" when everything is geared towards female characters in general. anything that is designed for men is usually unisex, but if its for women, its only for them. WHERE ARE THE MALE ONLY GLAMOURS YOU PROMISED US!!! ARGH!! sorry bit of rage, but its like really, just really, you're adding the male bunny suit because people said it wasn't fair. I mean you made the Gambler attire unisex because you wanted it to be on females too, SE I question your decisions sometimes, T.T

The issue with unisex gear is that it is often released as male only but so many people complain (females & males-playing-as-females) they get worked on. Unfortunately, when the reverse is asked for it is met with derision & even bigotry on the forum, therefore it falls by the wayside.

I do not get this part. I am probably overreacting, but is he hinting that the male developers do not want to work on the male bunny outfit, so the female staff need to work on it? Otherwise, why mention the gender of the staff at all?

Q. So men and women are going to be able to equip it?

A.Yes. The NA community had an especially high demand so we thought we should do it. Our female staff is putting hard work into creating it.

My interpretation of this was that Yoshi P was trying to assure folks that the results will be intended to be sexy, rather than silly. Hopefully, this means that we'll get something more along the lines of Chippendale dancers rather than a guy "hilariously" stuffed into an ill-fitting Playboy Bunny outfit.

mostly just a norm of how they speak/ mention things in specific regions, like while I was in the U.S Navy in Okinawa; and would speak with the contractors that would come on base to preform dutys we outsourced to the local population. They constantly said "male soldiers, female soldiers, gendered the pilots ect ect. seemed odd to me, but its what im gathering from it. On the flip side. It seems normal to me to have females designed female glamours and males making male glamours, its easier for them to get into the heads of what said gender would want or like. But that's just my opinion.

Outfits like the bunny costume are NOT about what the wearer would want or like, but what folks attracted to the wearer would like to see on that wearer. I don't think that anyone can argue that costumes of that sort are created with comfort and convenience in mind. No, they're created to highlight the wearer's physical gender and sexuality, in a way to titillate observers who are attracted to that gender.

To put it simply: The bunny costume is more about what a man wants to see on a woman, than it is about what a woman would like to wear.

By that logic, it makes plenty of sense that when designing a costume for a man that is meant to appeal to women, get a team of women to design it. Women have a better idea of what appeals to them than men do.
