[Petition] Remove Genderlocked Costumes

[REPROBEAN_CHILD]

This forum seriously need a good purification by the atom from a moment and this game seriously need a new game director from a moment as well, but both issues are becoming emergencies right now...

Shadowbringers was successfully launched with high praise from critics and players. It would be idiotic for him to be replaced [and could potentially damage FFXIV]. I honestly think a lot of people here are so cozy and safe with this game, you don't truely know what playing in a dumper fire is like...
*turns to WoW, Fallout 76, Destiny, Anthem, Andromeda*

No, it doesn't.

[Gula]

No, it doesn't.

My bets are that they think someone like Nomura or Hideo Baba would be better choices.

Or Todd Howard.

Yeah...no thanks. I dont want to deal with 16 times the auroch shite. Howard couldn't put out a bug free game if his life depended on it

Oh don't get me wrong, I hate arbitrary restrictions too. If there is no budgetarily prohibitive technical reason why a female character shouldn't be able to wear the existing model of Cid's goggles, then a male-only restriction shouldn't be a thing. Likewise, I wish I could put on Gosetsu's shiny hat, and I think the flower crown debacle was silly too. It could have easily been two separate items.

On that we agree. I'm not as convinced that moving away from gender locks would necessarily influence gear design, but I can see why you're concerned that it would.

Yes, uniqueness is a factor, but there needs to be a point when presentation matters too... But some people are happy with poor work, so whatev

You can't decide where the proper tradeoff lies for other people though. It's subjective. Krile's outfit has been brought up as an example supporting the idea that some clothes only look good on certain races but I don't see a problem with it on non-lalafells as far as the form goes. The hood doesn't work well with Viera, but I much prefer having the option to wear it than for someone else to decide that I can't.

Yoshi p have now gone full woke while dumbing down the game since stormblood, in a rational world it would be time to fired him. And btw he didnt write the story of ShB, the major good point of ShB, just saying.

Takes more than a writer to create a story.

Without Yoshi you would have no game to begin with, also talking about 'dumbing down' your grammar is pretty dumb...


anyway I've fanted from male au ra to female miq'ote...I am sad I can no longer use my Gosetsu hat that went with my SAM glam

so, how many languages you can speak, I hope more than one before you start to insult others.

Looking at their server, there is a very high chance that player isn't native (same as me and, like... probably more than 70% of EU DCs players) so pointing the grammar is a bit dangerous line.

As for the hat, replace it with 70th AF one. Not perfect, yes, but at least somehow similar and could work until the moment the will remove genderlock (if they will).
