My Opinion of the Little Ladies Day Event

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Did it ever occur to you, OP, Japan has different preferences and styles? What you consider a "dress," they may classify as a ceremonial robe. I do agree they could do a better job offering more western male aesthetics, but this is a Japanese game, with a Japanese development team. They're obviously going to draw from their own culture if only because personal inspiration is often subjective. And as has been noted numerous times already, Little Lady's Day derived from an actual Holiday.

Doesn't seem to have much to do with the holiday or the idea for the event and just seems to be 3 random show girls now

or you prefer this to be Japanese servers only event as it is literally a Japanese holiday?
I prefers not.

You man tears are delicious.

It's an event based on a major holiday in Japan. You're playing a game that was created in another country and therefore some of that country's culture is going to be present within the game. In this case, it's to celebrate a holiday in its home country. It has nothing to do with man hatred.

Also... glamours for male characters in this game aren't even remotely as bad as you're making them out to be? I can agree that dudes need more unique, interesting male-only glamours, but I've designed some pretty slick outfits for my male characters (two other healers like my main) that aren't "dresses". If you think men just got outright shafted in the fashion department, you're clearly lacking some creativity. Perhaps a woman might be able to assist you?

Also, my opinion on the event:

How does being annoyed that the event revolves around 3 NPCs rather than the holiday become "man, I wish we didn't have this event at all"?

I vaguely remember people mentioning a similar Japanese event for young boys when complaints about this event have come up in the past.

When I tried to search for it I just found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Day_(Japan) which was apparently changed to an event for all children in the 40s.

While I agree with the majority of replies that the tc's complaints about Little Ladies Day aren't valid I do think it's weird there isn't an equivalent festival for young men.

OP is either a troll or an ass, no point in debating in this thread. Plus LLD has become more about Japan's love for teen idols anyways and yet still gave a decent male outfit when it did give outfits.

The overall discussion may have merit, but not the way OP brought it up.

I mean... Aren't most of the female characters men anyways, or rather isn't the supposed rule, everyone one is a guy. :P My BF plays a girl, his friend plays a girl... Heck I know more guys that play girls than guys that play guys.

Little Man's Day sounds like it'd be patronizing at best and outright insulting at worst. Although with the lack of bulge on all males I could believe it I suppose.

I bet.

It's hardly any secret that there are a considerable number of people - most of whom who are conveniently playing female characters - who take any and every opportunity to downplay any and all concerns brought up by those of us playing male characters when it comes to glamour options, hairstyles or seasonal events. Even though, historically, we've been given a raw deal more often than not.

It's fine to point out that the event is based on a real life celebration. It isn't fine to have a smug attitude when the concerns about male glamour/rewards are a genuine thing across the board.
