STOP Genderlocking Cosmetics!!

"this would be cool" Feedback.

"this is the way it should be because it's the current year" Demand.

The vast majority don't want that garbage in the game.

And a lot of them, I am one of them, would like to see dresses and other things like the thavnair gear unlocked for males. If only to make it so that things like playing a transgender character is made simpler. Not that I would do so myself, but I bet there are plenty of transgender players that would like to be able to create a character they can relate easily to.

I don't really care about seeing guys dressed in female outfits, as I find it absolutely hilarious whenever I do see it in game. (A Hrothgar was running around in a pink bunny outfit while I was crafting in Lisa Lomasa on my server. xD), but I would MUCH prefer it if we FIRST got more male themed outfits for males.

Not getting 9S' outfit was indeed a huge disappointment for me. Hell, I'm still mad we never got Emil's head as a freaking glamour piece! But yeah, I want more Male outfits for male characters before Yoshi-P and his crew ever think about even adding female outfits to males.

I was disappointed when male characters just got the female bunny outfit from the gold Saucer. I was hoping they'd get a male equivalent to the female version. You know, topless male bunny outfit with either only a pair of stylized pants, shorts, underwear with the Bunny cuffs, a pair of fancy dress shoes and their own version of the bunny ears. No homo, btw. Just saying. :/

Man, now I want a himbo bunny suit too.

Make it make sense.

Make it make sense? In a world where I can claim to my gender to be robot gender that's hard to do.

Thank you for this. This is essentially what i’ve been trying to say and yeah they’ve been lazy with male glams for awhile now numerous times. I don’t see it changing in the future though with the uproar of genderlocks. More resources and thought will most likely be put towards that than trying to implement more things for the males.

It's what the people deserve. Speaking of:

How'd that femroe slider turn out?

I think it's because people like us aren't loud enough, combined with the fact that there are far more players who play female characters in the game. Though something may change if we keep raising our voices and eventually become loud enough where the developers will hear us and they'll start making some changes that'll benefit male playing characters more.

Now that I think about it, I want the Dwarf head gear beards to be actual facial hair for male characters. Especially the Lalafell. :3

I think a lot of it can be attributed to the unfortunate fact that feedback just doesn't seem to be gathered from the official forum at all these days. Our community representatives are rarely seen and that may very well be due to having their hands tied. As it stands, it's far easier to get a voice heard over on Twitter by virtue of being able to respond directly to posts that are made by the official FFXIV account. I've been doing that lately to balance out the often one sided voices who are loud but arguably not representative of the community as a whole.

People have been asking for years for more tattoo options and facial hair for men. Yet in an interview, Yoshi-P expressed surprise which suggests that he wasn't told.

Which, in turn, begs the question - why was he told that people wanted a bunch of female outfits made available to use on male characters but not told that there's a pretty decent amount of demand for male characters to have more facial hair options?

As for the amount of people playing female characters compared to male characters, it's actually a roughly equal split on a global level when accounting for all major regions mashed together which is the figure that the development team should be looking at.

Indeed. Basically, the split isn't great enough to warrant only catering to one gender and not the other - and besides if you as a developer do that it can end up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy of your own making.

Oh that? They didn't do it, it's their game. I was suggesting it but it's clear now, from the benchmark, that they were basically creating what they said they wouldn't create. They basically created 15 year old teenagers. So much for "we will not create underage races in FFXIV."
