Remove Gender-Lock From Gear / Glamour Please

[MilkieTea]

You missed the point tho. "why do have less? " =/= " Why do i have to wear this " XD
And i said several time that the idea of this thread was great for thoose who want access to the gear of other genders.

then why... are you still arguing against it? no one here is arguing for less, we just want the gear that is most specifically for glamour purposes, to be open to all genders.

No thanks. There are minors playing this game as well and some of more recent ones put it on mature perversion category already.

(not saying that the is anything wrong with the ladies wearing those pants)

Sounds like transphobia to me. :\

Because i gain nothing from it (nothing much that caches my eye on other gender) but if there's consequences after they continue to "remove" genderlock, i'm not sure if i'll be happy about thoose changes.
For example if the new bozja haircut (the one you get from DR normal) was genderlocked, maybe i would be farming for it because it looks nice. If people wanted less genderlocked (or more genderless) haircuts back in SB and SE listened to them and decided to not make a male version for the DR haircut (less work) : well i just missed out on a potential good haircut.
I don't think asking for more unlocking will result on just more things for everyone, developpers won't even show you what you missed i think.

But for payed glamour on mog station, i'm starting to change my mind. Outfits just cost too much to be genderlocked, and are not even shared between characters. That's why i avoid the mogstation tbh it's just not worth it, if i pay for the new outfit i know already that it will become useless later.

Aniway i talked about this way too much, time to stop lol

I've posted my chagrin about the gender-locked FFXIII gear and hair. I think Snow and Lightning both have great looks that would be tasteful and stylish on both genders!

A lot of grief on this post about gender roles...I might not want to wear, or look at some of the irreverent or meme-ish glams out there, but I would definitely want people to wear what makes them happy since they are paying for the happiness it brings them, as I am for mine own. And most of those I don't really have to remember or think about later. Half the time I ignore my friends and FC mates' glams because they're outlandish or tacky, but I don't go out of my way to deride them for it (although sometimes, a gentle suggestion of a cuter glam gets accepted).

This. 10000% THIS.

If the vast majority of players would end up looking just as they are now, then why bother wasting the time and resources on changing anything?

You can’t be that dense, can you?
I mean that it’s already possible to be a feminine looking male or a masculine looking female.
So opening up more options despite gender just gives people more options to design their characters.
Which again.. a lot of gendered clothing isn’t necessarily masculine or feminine and there are tons of female only or male only glams that can be use for a different effect if given to the opposite gender.
When I say people will look the way they do now is to send a message to the gender purist that they don’t need to be afraid that if they open this up, there won’t be a burst of fem boys walking around.

For instance the thanvanirian shoes on a female can be used to make a Greek god style glam for a male.

I feel that the amount of people requesting this sort of thing is very small and relegated almost entirely to the forums and reddit. I'd much rather have more gender locked clothing with an emphasis on specialized clothing for each gender, rather than a generic androgyne style that fits both like we presently are getting with hairstyles.

Though, I feel this is a non-issue when they could be using their limited resources on more important things, such as Viera/Hrothgar hair and hats. Maybe I'd be more on board with letting anyone wear anything if there were not more pressing issues.

No one says they should put everything at wait list and unlock every single items right now. What people ask for is to consider that this approach is outdated and, more often than not, doesn't have much sense to begin with (for instance, earring from Lyse Mog Station set is incredibly cool and I wanted to buy the set just for it, but it's genderlocked. A genderlocked EARRING. EARRING.). There are a lot of pants that you look at on some character, they look nice, then you try them on and find out they have an alternate design that is far worse on top of that, and same applies to female characters when you see nice pants but they turn into 1000th mini-skirt once you try it on.

The main point is: stop doing unnecessary gender-locks, they aren't "cool" nor they are "meaningful". They are just limiting. When possible - unlock some of the old items too, when it doesn't affect schedule or other tasks, but 1st of all: just stop doing unnecessary alternate versions and genderlocks that have literally zero sense behind it. I'm still angry from new Daily Set from Ishgard that has nice long shorts on female character that turn into "typical ugly triangle shorts you'll never wear because they're horrendous" on males (why do you hate male shorts so much, designer? Even long ones? Did they do something bad to you or what?).
