Male Spring Bottoms. What the hell?

[Roukiz]

Can I get an official response from the dev team as to why the male version for Spring Bottoms looks like trash level 10 crafting gear. Thank you.

male version

You answered your own answer, I'm afraid I got the shirt and the shoes, I'm ignoring the pants because of this. What a let down, though not really a surprise, sadly.

[Kytrin]

Yeah no kidding. How come you guys can't get shorts too? o.O

[Rokke]

Cause SE needs to regularly remind those with male characters that they don't care about male characters. Have a thread.

[Kurando]

Oh damn, so it's ok that the females get some Daisy Dukes hotpants while the men are still left behind with yet another piece of boring gear. I would of loved some kind of trimmed shorts that's actually in line with Spring rather than them. Really wondering if they will do Summer Gear and how exactly they will look....

[Recruiter]

Its well documented that the equipment design team has a bias toward female characters.

It's weird to me that something like this



makes the dev team so uncomfortable to the point where the item shown in the OP is the alternative they'd rather have.

SO much this. They have some really old fashioned Japanese culture constraints or their gear designers have no idea about basic male clothing and gear fashion.

Maybe legs are considered a private part in japan. (of course I'm joking)

Don't you know men hate fashion, they only throw on whatever they wore yesterday and women are always dainty and pretty /s
