    Can We Remove Gender Restrictions On Glam Items

    The title says it all. I'm really tired of finding a perfectly dapper set of clothing for my catgirl only to find that it's male only. I mean, come on, if the 2B butt isn't gender locked, why is the Snow outfit, or the Valentione Rose set? And I'm sure some folks out there want to use the Lightning skirt or the Valentione Apron set on their super burly male Roe.

    Anyone else feel the same way?

    It would be very nice to be able to wear whatever on whomever, I believe the thing we have to overcome is the devs sensibilities though. They eventually caved on the bunny suit (though.. TBH I have seen maybe 1 male character using it since they implemented it and am thinking most of that whole push was a meme), so it's not like they dunno how or can't. But it would also be some work to separate and implement a way to get both versions of equipment that currently just straight up appears differently depending on your selected sex.

    Something, something, takes too much development time so we get two completely different sets instead.

    I don't see removing genderlock as a priority to be honest... It just doesn't feel necessary.

    Square Enix have extorted money from Viera and Hrothgar's limitations, but from the outside looking in it seems barely any of that money is invested back into the limited races. How much money have they made from players
    fantasia'ing to and from the limited races? We want more race-exclusive hair.
    We want them improved, and we want it done within a reasonable time.

    The problem is that, the way gear works in this game, it means designing a whole new chunk of body for each piece, then fitting it to each race model. It's a lot more work than just flipping a switch.

    It's a lost cause, imo.

    It used to be something I would have no problem supporting back during SB and even late HW but at this point in time and with the numbers of assets in this game...I'd much rather see other things get prioritized.

    The only thing I will say though: I genuinely wish the Cash Shop gear we bought followed the trend that some earlier stuff did, where, for example, you could exchange male gear for female gear if you wish with the Calamity Npc in towns. (Ex: Lightning set for Snow). That would really go a long way forward.

If you're capable of healing DRK back in ShB (or any tanks), then you'll heal EW DRK just fine.

    I dont 100% support getting rid of ALL Gender Specific Glams....but I do think more of them need to be unisex.
    I can see that some Glams should be Gender Specific like the Ryne Outfit, but then stuff like Snow's jacket should totally be Wearable by both Males and Females.

    And then...the outfits that change based on your characters Gender, I think they should make 2 versions like with the (2019??) Valentione Rose set. So like the Scion Outfit, I get a chose between the styles, and if I decide I want the other style later I can trade it at a Calamity Trigger. (or I could get both and chose what to equip.)
    I am very Jealous of the Males Pants and that Handsome Tie...while Females get a Stupid Skit and an Ascot. Some might like it, but its just not MY style.
