Until SE makes male and female glamours equal...

While Im not saying those are all wrong facts and that you are also right with what you counted up, there is still a difference how players would go with their own preferences and character designs. I want the game to stay with its aestethics as it is. You are right, females can wear the stuff from Cloud and Squall. But there is still a difference how the characters will look with players likes and given limits.

All you summed up is technically something with proper aesthetics or in a funny manner. Now turn this picture into a male Roegadyn with pink Lightning hair and tight female clothes or even a dress, skirt whatever. Big difference right?
And another thing; in FFVII Soldier Clothes weren't meant for Cloud or male figures only.

A green roe would look fantastic with pink lightning hair the contrast between colors would certainly highlight his handsome features. Do you even know color theory?

You are right about the tight clothes though. Roes should be shirtless for most occasions so that all players can admire their impressive physique.

Believe in the cause? Sure. I can't see any reason for the restrictions.

That said, I abhor the entire Glamour system. It has severely damaged my ability to become properly immersed in the game. There's nothing like seeing some moron bunny-hopping about town in a bikini to make me remember I'm playing a game, and one that is far goofier than I'd like.

I wonder if SE would consider an option to let us turn OFF other people's Glamours, as far as our personal view is concerned...

There's an NPC called Butt Stabber somewhere in the game I've heard. Sometimes you just gotta let the immersion breaking stuff slide off of you (or go to a server more known for RP; I personally love RPing my character even in the more hardcore of groups). (Also, I'm a die-hard LARPer; I've been trained to more or less ignore bad costuming.)

That all being said, if Squenix is looking to remove a bunch of code (I'm also a software engineer on a Gameplay team at a different company, so this is basically where I live and breathe) the restrictions on the glamour system is basically a good place to start.

Ya'know, in case any team leads happen upon this thread.

But a gender-restricted item (or hairstyle for that matter) or two won't make a difference. People who want to look ridiculous already do look ridiculous. So yeah...

I love Synrin's signature image.

Anyway, new page so I'll keep the theme going with another AF set. This time, Summoner! I really like this set overall, it's a beautiful aesthetic and nothing like most of the other gear in the game. That said, it's basically a miniskirt and some strappy ribbon-bedecked ornaments - not something the manliest of today's manly men might have hoped for. And not unlike the female-only Thavnairian set, when whittled down to its core components like that.



(Sorry that I failed to match the ribbon colours. It bothers me too, but I didn't have much time today.)

The set is slightly less ribbon-y with the proper legs in place, which sort of bothers me because they went to the trouble of modelling those gorgeous leg ribbons then hid them away under pretty cloth where they never get seen, but it's still a neverending panty shot opportunity for anyone with a character shorter than me. Which is almost everyone on my server :/



Also note the presence of bows, the decoration which was apparently so overtly girly it denied us the Spring Skirt entirely.

We just had to join in on the fun.

In an effort to raise awareness of this issue and garner some attention from the Devs, while at the same time having a little fun, I'm going to post a screenshot a day of my (male) character in a girly glamour! Anyone who believes in this cause and likes fun is welcome to join me. Show SE that we want skirts on our gentlemen, and ladies for butlers!

All I ask is that you keep it civil, and include a screenshot in each post.

Here's my first entry, always a favorite outfit of mine though I am wearing pants in this one:

Do you have to?

Do you have to?

I like how you posted once already saying you hope people ignore the thread...

...and then came back later, not ignoring the thread.
