More so because they willingly chose to put more work on themselves by giving us different poses. Which is the story with FFXIV in general. They keep feeling the need to double their work by making two outfits for example. I get it, and I get people wanting something cutesy or feminine (like the WHM cpose for women), but just the same you get situations where I hate how my character can never wear the Hildibrand outfit to actually look like Hildibrand, all because at some point they decided one of the ARR crafting outfits needed an stupidly short skirt and cleavage cut for women. Just like in that case, they should have done just one option and made it well, or if they are going to make more options, let everyone have it instead of more half-measures.
