Discrepency Between Male/Female Clothing/Emotes in Regards to Performance

[Juun]

Im all for more options, but not for the reason stated in OP, heck it nearly convinced me to never give us more options and stick with how it currently is.

The sage gear got to me on this. It looks so comfy on my guy, then bam, it's suddenly a mini-skirt like omg...why...I forgot being female naturally meant I must prefer skirts.

Hate this so much. Barely have any normal looking pants...

Having both a male main and a female alt I must say the only thing that irks me is the skirt.

I find it strange that there is a bunch of complaints about female leg slots becoming skirts and wanting more pants. I feel like 90% of the leg gear in this game is ugly pants already and skirt options are pretty rare.

"If my motives met with your approval, would you no longer resent the outcome?"

Was I too aggressive? Was I too blatant in my distaste? Did I not comfort you enough that it's still okay to hyper-sexualize women, I just don't want to do it myself? Seems like the hill of "more options for everyone" is a weird one to consider turning away from just because a woman dares to point out that females are sexualized as if it's an inherent trait of the sex.

Maybe you didn't really care in the first place about having more options. Maybe you just seethe at the idea of a woman having a different opinion than yours. Idk. But I do know that you thought I would care enough about your opinion to consider changing mine at the threat of losing your support. Unfortunately for you, the opinion of someone who would change their stance on a dime is worth just as much.

I think it's more of a complaint about the lack of choice when an article of clothing on men and in the thumbnail is undebatably a pair of pants, but the moment a female puts it on, it transforms into a mini-skirt. This is the issue with the Non La. It looks like the "male" version (aka default) in the thumbnail, yet completely changes in style and color when a female is wearing it. Why?

Co-signed. I spent an hour googling why my Cat-Boy can't do the Pose of just relaxing with his hands behind his head like Cat-Girls. I thought maybe it was a quest reward or Mog Shop emote and was driving myself crazy. Was surprised to hear it was female only.

There are also some gloves that are female only that I thought would look good on my Dancer. Male Dancer lvl 60 armor has similar straps but they are part of the Chest piece, so not sure why guys can't wear a strapped glove...super gender-neutral piece of clothing to begin with.

I do understand why certain attire is gendered - like swimsuits. I'm sure some people would find a Roe in a bikini amusing but a topless female for male swimsuits is probably a no-go.

I am content enough with "sexy" options for male characters - they can be found if you look for them from certain clothing and dungeon sets. Though older examples like the Dragoon Artifact armor having skin windows for females only is a bit glaring.

So, I know it's not your main point, but - you appear to be complaining about wasting 500 gil. With a level 90 character. What.

I may or may not be entirely funded by someone who sells onions because I've only been playing this game for a few months and absolutely suck at any level of gold income but if i put 500 gil i meant 500k gil which i know still isn't a lot to some players but that was like half my budget at the time LMAO

As someone who keeps buying True-White dyes for 500K gil, and then applying them to incorrect items or glamor plate slots instead of items themselves, I feel the pain of wasting 500K haha.
