STOP Genderlocking Cosmetics!!

[Iscah]

I feel like the NieR collaboration has had too much confused/negative response overall to seriously continue it. I hope that response is just an extremely polite way of saying no.

They've dropped talk of further collaborations and returned to original content for Endwalker side stories, at least.

Please SE keep things like they are now, i don't wanna see a male muscle mountain like Roaegadyn or Hrothgar roaming around in Miniskirts or Girls dresses and trolling everyone with their sexual diversity. The modded pictures from the OP are more than enough to show everyone why they should avoid something like this at all costs. If you mod your client so that only you can see it yourself its fine, but dont force us to look at something like this. Their is allready enough diversity idiotism in RL going on where i live, i dont need stuff like that in a game that i want to enjoy and relax. Thanks.

Those are not modded, those are already in the game's files and so are the thavnairian bustier and maid outfit for males. They were all added around the same time as the wedding dress but not released at the same time, some became officially released across the last few patches, some have yet to become available in game. So you're definitely going to end up seeing more traditionally feminine outfit options for men, too bad.

Well than i guess im lucky that i didnt saw any of them so far. If this stuff really will get more frequent i do hope they add an option to turn that kind of glamour off for the oposite sex. Its 100times better to see a Hrothgar in just his underpans than is some pink magical girl dress or stuff like that. I understand that a lot of long pants also look good on female models or stuff like tank tops or shirts, but that same cant be said (from my view) for stuff like skirts or long dresses like the thavaniran stuff for men.

I agree, if they ever decide to add more outfits like that and stop the genderlocking I do hope they also include an options for people to turn it off. I don't want to mod my game to fix that on my screen.
This has nothing to do with "homophobia/transphobia", I couldn't care less about stuff like that, in the end we're all human beings. I just like the aesthethics as they are I can do without men dressed in women clothes. I know some people really find that pretty and want that look for that reason alone, but more often than not some just like to troll and rock those outfits to look ridiculous.

Exactly. I remember roughly before the Wedding outfits being gender-unlocked, a Redditor was able to datamine many others, including the maid outfit and the examples shown in the OP, the models being done, but not available just yet. Which I think they might be releasing on drops, maybe to keeping until the female counterparts are adapted (because many are still not).

I'm not surprised at some of the foul responses to this thread, though - it is just a reflection of what we see outside of the game with people not wanting to "see" how others choose to express themselves with fashion. Gladly, this doesn't seem to be the mindset of Square Enix, given the fact that we already have a lot of gear these people deem "ridiculous on males", like the Nier Coffer outfit, or the bunny outfits, or being able to use the female version of the collegiate set, among many others.

Listen dude, we already have obnoxious metallic neon green frog suits and unbearably creepy full body rabbit costumes, on top of a fair number of frankly ugly as frick glamours in this game, I really don't see how a beefy dude in a dress is worse than some of the absolute nightmares that are already readily available.

Frankly I don't care what godawful disasters other people choose to wear sometimes, I care far more about what I myself get to play digital dress up with. If a Roe in a garishly dyed dress is the price to pay to get my fem miqo into some of the dude's outfits, then I'll sure asf pay it. Some of the female versions of the gender split gear are just flat ugly, and I would LOVE to be able to use the dudes' version of the Makai aiming set. It looks great! And I've wanted Snow's hairstyle since the first time I saw it, but I lasted a cool three weeks playing a male miqo before I got tired of just not having as many good glamour options. Not even in terms of things that are pretty, but just in terms of things that are fun or flattering or cute. Even things that are frankly pretty gender neutral are locked or changed in super bizarre ways.

I mean heck, look at the latest Nier aiming set - it's got a sleek nice fancy-trimmed cloak, with a neat scarf, on female characters, and then on the guys it's got these ugly pouches all over the chest and the cloak is all torn up and ruined. Why??? I can only assume it's based on some Nier character or something, but I've never played Nier so I'm just out here wondering why the girls choice just looks... better??? Like come on, some of these restrictions seem just plain arbitrary.

Unfortunate seeing that the men have seen less and less masculine options over the course of the game. I guess that’s just this generation though. Gotta make everything feminine, same with male viera. Sigh

I mean, tbf those are not new, just previously genderlocked glamour they are unlocking, and likewise the male-only equivalent of those sets have an unlocked versions somewhere in the game files, whether they're officially released yet or not.

This game seriously lacks some cleavage options for females. Surprising since it's Japanese game after all.

I think I can count shirts / dresses with one hand with cleavage. Bad bad bad Square.
