[Petition] Remove Genderlocked Costumes

[Lihtleita]

And NPC costumes are NPC costumes, they are meant to be worn by the gender the NPC is and why would that need to change

by that logic npc costumes should be racelocked as well. arbitrary restrictions are arbitrary

I'm just sad there's no lil bow tie for males so I can make a bunny Chippendale glam

I heartily support that, while it's fine to have 2 options for a glamour item based on gender, either gender should be able to wear either option. I believe this is what Yoshida meant when he talked about removing genderlocked gear. However I am very firmly against specific, iconic NPC gear - such as Krile's hooded cloak or Aymeric's fabulous robe/coat/armour thing - being available for both genders. Honestly I'd prefer it wasn't available for players at all because it's so character specific I find it very immersion breaking. But since it is, please keep it to the appropriate gender for the NPC involved. And, yeah, I'd definitely prefer it to be female Lalafell only too, but clearly they won't do that. So I can see why it's regarded as very unfair in this regard.

It annoys me - not kidding, it really does annoy me - when I find myself in a dungeon with a WAR in a maid's dress. How CAN YOU POSSIBLY THINK you can fight ferocious monsters wearing little more than an apron and a hair band, and don't you dare expect me to keep you alive if you can't be bothered to wear plate armour to soak up some of the ferocity. Yeah, I know, the glamour doesn't ACTUALLY matter but I prefer my imaginative life not to have to deal with this much strain on a daily basis!

TL,DR: wear situation appropriate gear, folks! Please ....

We can get rid of gender locks as soon as they add in the female equivalents of all of the male protagonist gear they've added for veteran rewards and events.

None of those items are gender locked, so that's already done! Unless you mean you want, like, Rinoa's outfit added in alongside Squall's and so on, which I'd love to see too...as long as everyone could wear it.

The FFX and XIII costumes really ought to be unlocked as well. I dunno about the body, but I'll be salty until the end of time that I can't use Yuna's sleeves. And I'd definitely find uses for Lightning's gear and hair. They might have to make some minor alterations to the Tidus chest piece to make it work on females, but given it was a paid item (and will be again soon if the minions from that event being put on the mogstation is any indication), they have little excuse not to put in the effort.

A bit off-topic, but it just seems like you missed news or something. They are already there for a quite some time:

I'd rather they spend their resources on content vs making someone happier about who they are/want to.

the ppl who design encounters and the ppl who design, model and texture gear arent the same.

Their labor hours could be used for more productive things -- not necessarily encounters.

Also to mention they wasted their time making bunny outfit for males and I barely see anyone wearing which is a waste of resources after all that asking on the forums for it and finally getting what they wanted and nobody uses it.

so I totally get what you say. Some will say they do but very small %

Just like Eureka which barely no one does.
Or Golden Saucer/Verminion, Savage. One can say those are a waste too...
Okay well maybe not Savage since there's quite a handful of players but you get what I mean.
Not everyone does them, but some do.
Because there's options there for people who want to do them.
Same thing applies. (Though who seriously does Eureka!? )
