Which has little to do with this thread.

But if one really wants to know the secrets behind why people want to cross dress:

a. they find it funny

b. they find it sexy

yanno, the same reasons why so many characters are bouncing around in pigsuits and bikinis

Oh look, another pair of pants like all the other Generic Pants™ we have in the game already. What an innovation. Because 37 weren't enough I need the 38th.
That design doesn't exist in a vacuum. You can't defend it while ignoring the overall condition of male glamours. It doesn't matter how fashionable or unfashionable it is, what matters is that we have a dime a dozen of it in the game already.

There are just two of them. There are many suppose to gender generic gear only showing male version even it is on female character.

Are you implying that men do not wear shorts in spring?

Well, they're called spring "bottoms", not spring "pants". Since we're being nitpicky and all. Why do females get shorts, and guys get another pair of pants? Why not give guys a nice pair of shorts as well? Those are pretty common during spring and summer, no?

That sounds like my thread, and if that's your takeaway from it you clearly didn't actually read the first post. It's not that we want to crossdress. We can already crossdress perfectly well; male characters of every class have access to several skirts, and almost every class has at least one set of gear that looks pretty 'dress'-like (with casters having MANY given the fine line between 'robe' and 'ballgown').

The problem, and the point is that the devs are bizarrely inconsistent about what they do and don't change; it's fine and dandy for my male White Mage to have a closet full of what are basically ballgowns and evening dresses, but then the devs suddenly balk at giving males a pair of shorts? And even worse, they go and replace those shorts, which are a cute, unique model on female characters, with something utterly shapeless and lacking in detail. AGAIN. They've got a history of doing this and we're sick of it.

All I want is some nice shorts for my character to wear, that aren't the same Summer Trunks I've been using since the first Moonfire Faire, why is that so hard? First the Skallic set crushes my hopes, and now this; my heart can't take much more...
