Gender Specific Mogstation purchases

[Hazama999]

Personally, I find it a bit odd that gender-locking is even a thing when it comes to mogstation items. To me, it seems natural that you'd want your items to have the widest appeal in order to maximize sales. Having items that are wearable by both genders simply casts a wider net. Would it take some extra work? Maybe. I don't know this game's innards well enough to say... but I do imagine it'd help them sell more Y'shtola robes if more people could wear em.

All outfits should be gender neutral and just fit them to male or female bodies. ESO does it well.

It's difficult not to complain sometimes when this is a non-issue in many other MMOs as gear automatically changes to match the gender, and some of those are older than ffxiv.

XIV has a habit of handling things in convoluted ways, and this could be considered one of them. It's ridiculous that XIVs solution to using an already purchased item when you Fantasia is "hey, go buy another one for the other gender now, thanks!".

While I would say this would be reasonable for the Far Eastern Noble/Noblemwoman attire, but he also wants his Thancred outfit to be exchanged for the Y'shtola one, which is completely unreasonable because they aren't equivalent at all.

Yeah, that last bit was a bit of a stretch to me as well, but like you said there are many outfits on the shop that do have a normal male/female equivalent. Would be nice for them to implement some way to swap these without needing to buy a new set (either through the calamity NPC, or just fixing the gear to swap automatically in-game).
