Corset for us women

[Selova]

Population size of X gender has nothing to do with popularity of female outfits and their appeal. You would have a point if every single percentage (person) of that statistical pie graph purchased cosmetics whether from the store or in-game, which we all know is not true. Look at any Asian based game that has cosmetics for both genders, 9 times out of 10 the female outfits are not only far more appealing but have way more work and design put into them. As for the argument about why dont they just make male equivalents of every outfit and the answer is because it takes them more time and resources to alter the cosmetic to suit the male counterpart. Why would they spend more resources and time on that than just putting them into another female outfit which would sell for more profit? Regardless of how many of X gender play the game, female outfits will always be more appealing and more profitable, this is a undisputed fact.

Why should SE NOT create a male version of an item at the same time they create a female version? I personally prefer female items, as do a lot of people, but who cares? They're already taking the time to design something new. Why on earth should they not create a male version?

Obviously exaggerating here, but would people be OK if SE released Miqo'te-only items now and then? Miqo'te are super popular, loads of people play them...with some of the logic being used in this thread, they should start releasing Miqo-only gear and we should be OK with it.

I'm totally on-board with Serilda in regards to why I stuck with FF. I picked it up because a friend told me about it, but after playing trashy F2P Korean MMOs with female-restricted jobs, races, and outfit options, XIV was a breath of fresh air. We all had the same stuff with some design variations between gender sets sometimes. Now I feel like a second-class player after years of female-only, female-centric glamour options, seasonal gear, and because I'm a healer main. I have zero understanding in regards to SE's design policies if they think "but guys don't want to wear dresses/we can't have them wear feminine things" when more than half of all the mage gear in the game is basically "not a dress because we called it a robe". Especially the WHM and AST artifact gear sets. They look really good but when they exist and stuff like the Thavnarian set is gender-locked, I get just a little irritated. Especially when girls can wear anything that we can unless it's arbitrarily locked to us. I don't want male-exclusive gear denied to female chars any more than I want to be denied the plethora of options that female characters have available. Stop locking stuff in the first place. So yes, give the girls corsets. Give us corsets too. Corsets for everyone!

I don't mind females getting cool stuff to wear as long as we get something at the same time. SE used to be fair but now they're no better than those shameless Korean MMOs I left behind. I'll definitely think twice about playing any future MMOs they release. I can go to just about any MMO ever if I want to feel like an afterthought from the designers. Most of them won't charge me for the privilege of playing.

(Also, tangent: why do we only get ugly pants? Why can't we wear shorts? Men like to wear shorts too, SE. They don't have to be booty shorts, just some decent above the knee sets would be good. And more short sleeved/sleeveless tops without buttcapes and dangly bits for everyone. Thanks.)

As long as the Corset comes with Garters and Stockings, I'm all for it.
