Gender change and Mog Station items

You can though for most items iirc. You can do so at the Calamity Salvager. For example, if you have a yukata for females, you can exchange it for a male yukata. Same for wedding dress/groom outfit, and more.

You can definitely do this, but it's not "most items" unfortunately. It covers the wedding outfits and older seasonal gear, but not more recent gendered items such as Mog Station exclusives, even though they are often clearly in gendered pairs.

I've always disliked how the mogshop gear doesn't just change appearance depending on your gender (like almost every other piece of gear in game. If they can't do that, they should let you swap the items at an NPC.

There's some logic to making separate male/female items when the outfits look considerably different - you can see the result of not doing it with last summer's beach outfit(s) because the female frilly blouse and bikini bottom still gets the icon of the male shirt and shorts - but they really need to update that male/female trade-in menu.

Ah I see. I did not know that. That is a shame, I assumed it was for pretty much any mog station items. Learned something new today, thanks!

Between these two options:

1) Have gear change automatically depending on your gender, but have only a single-gendered icon
2) Have to buy separate mog station outfits for both male & female characters

I would most definitely pick option #1! Ideally they'd find a way to also update the icon as well when it switches genders, but at least this option isn't requiring people to purchase two separate sets for $18 each. :X

I'd even be content if they would add an NPC that lets you swap ALL gear, not just the event/reward items, that would be great. The mog station purchases are poorly handled when it comes to storage options & gender swaps (fantasias).

Obviously it's the better choice out of those two options! But option 3 - resuming and updating the Calamity Salvager trade-in for gendered items - would be good too. Especially on the assumption that they can't alter the icon, or surely they'd do it already for the more visibly different but still shareable items.

That would definitely be a solution, albeit kind of a slog if you have several items you need to trade. Of course, that's better than what we have now.
