STOP Genderlocking Cosmetics!!

I think such is arguably a very different context, and well suited to both a casual and a professional environment.

I like looking at the male form, by virtue of being a guy who likes guys.

I don't want to look at the male form through the context of dresses, though. I want to do so through the lens of armour that is designed to show off the muscles of powerful fighters - as was done throughout history in show battles in coliseums and the like.

Oh no, how dare artist and game directors have a vision of a game that differs from yours! HOW DARE THEY!

I mean, their vision should really be equality considering this is an mmo. But female characters are pandered more and it’s a fact.

Big difference between women wearing unisex attires such as trousers and men wearing female specific dresses.

I am not "mad" even remotely, but it seems you are. I am really sorry if I triggered you, I didn't mean to offend you with my opinion, truly.

How is there a big difference? Back in the day ‘trousers’ weren’t considered unisex at all. And your opinion doesn’t offend me - it’s just confusing and lowkey archaic.

Back in what 'day', exactly? As in, what time period are we talking about? Furthermore, which country and culture are you referring to? One? Multiple?

According to who, YOU?

It's their art, no one asked you.

Yes, you are right. That's why we only have 3 female outfits from previous games and a ton of male outfits.

Lightning, Yuna, and now penelo.

VS WoL, basche, vaan, noctis, cloud, the guy from 9 whose name I forget, squall, tidus, snow, etc.

Almost every FF protag is male, with the exception of exactly 4. Terra, Yuna in x-2 and Lightning and whatever her sister was in XIII games.

Could... could there be a connection here?

Or unnecessarily altered for the opposite gender. Take the Healing top from Paradigms Breech. On females it's got the side that's cut and reveals that side of their torso, also on the shoulders it's got cut outs to see skin. On males they decided they needed an under shirt for whatever reason to hide the same skin. It is fairly frustrating at times.

I do actually like the male version of those tops – I wish there was a way to switch between both designs for both genders.

Still, overall I dislike it when gear gets made more revealing to "femininise" it so... it's the inverse problem but same sentiment.

I think that's arguably balanced out by the fact that when people request NPC outfits from male characters they're rarely, if ever, added to the game whereas many are added through the Mog Station based on female NPC outfits.

To say nothing of the fact that most of the hairstyles added to the game have been androgynous or feminine in their aesthetics.

We also don't have 'only three' female outfits form previous games, either. Bozja added some glamour sets modeled after female characters such as Penelo.

Ashe was the protag of 12. Or basche. But we got penelo instead.

And they gave snows outfit for males instead of making a male version of lightnings.


So why no Tifa, aerith, (we don't even have terras outfit) rinoa, etc.
