STOP Genderlocking Cosmetics!!

[SolviteSekai]

If you are FTM, wouldn't you roll a male toon? And MTF would roll a female toon?

I'm honestly confused, especially since I happen to know several people in that scenario, and they play the character genders they feel more in tune with. This includes a family member of mine who plays.

I would love to see the reasoning behind the argument, because so far it doesn't make a single jot of sense.

Depends on how you want to present. The fact that we are discussing it this way just proves they havent done shit to remove the binary.

All they've done is given frilly stockings and sexy feminine looks to male characters (because that's what Kotaku and Polygon will be happiest with) and called it a day. From there they've moved on to giving female characters their Otaku approved Waifu outfits and allowing male characters to wear them.

The reason it is gender locked is cause most other countries don't deal with and or don't care about this stuff.

Besides I thought a recent update addressed this.

Alot of people are quick to play the homo/trans-phobia card. I'm all for genderlocking because I don't find it appealing to see males run around in female slutmogs. (I'm not even a fan of slutmogs in general)
I'd prefer it if they added more good glam options for males in general because we are severely lacking options compared to females in this game. It's always the usual female gear slightly adjusted to fit on males and it shows.

I think the ffxiv team is more likely to accept feedback if they are requests for something to be added rather than a request to exclude things. Instead of trying to restrict what people can and cannot wear, why not request what you would like to see available? It's not as if I wouldn't like to see cooler outfits for male characters as well. More masculine glamour options would be great. But I also don't want to restrict what other people can wear.

As a gay dude I agree with this. It really grosses me out when people throw around the homophobia/transphobic card just because they're trying to get their way... It's embarrassing. Masculine options in both character customization and glamour is lacking, we need more of a variety and right now it's leaning too much towards the opposing side.

He says this after the newest tier gives us the usual pants vs underwear m/f divide lel

Yup agreed, also as a gay guy. Im tired of seeing the constant feminine outfits or "gender neutral" outfits that lean towards feminine. Masculine outfits and styles are pretty rare, especially if you play a healer. I'd say wait for that to get balanced before asking for dev time to be put towards taking off genderlocks of other gear. They couldnt even give us the 9s outfit for the nier raid, instead we only got the 2b outfit which is entirely feminine

Careful now, some people might just claim you're making it up.

For me, I honestly don't care what people are. I'm a girl and I wanted 9S outfit too.
I just think people should be able to wear whatever they please in my honest opinion. Peoples sexuality on the matter doesn't matter to me as they're just clothes.
Here's another example of something I want, the male version of this:

Shirt > Dress.
