[Request] Address gear with gendered differences

[primalmeridian]

This would be a pretty intense endeavor for the devs, but since they've been putting in more effort to gender-unlock previously restricted gear and release new sets that have both masculine and feminine alternate pieces rather than having the same piece have different appearances (like the Woodland Warden set), I don't feel like this is that insane of an ask for further down the line, once the graphical update and 2-dye system are fully implemented. It's certainly worth calling to their attention, at any rate. Personally I get immeasurably jealous whenever I see male characters wearing Neo-Ishgardian gear, Type-51 gear, the Summer Sunset pants, etc.

Same. I'm not holding my breath but hopefully they find a way to address the issue one day.

Huffing the hopium that some of these get addressed in Dawntrail. T_T

Bumpity bump.

This set as well. Snow's outfit is one of the most popular glams and it's a travesty that females can't use it! The hair too.

With the recent controversy with these PvP pants it seems relevant to bump this thread again.

Please, for the love of all things, I really hope this gets fixed eventually. Cool shorts? Lol, sorry, female only. Guess that means I have to wear long pants for playing a male character… irritating. I get that the devs are gradually making more gender-exclusive gear available for everyone, and that’s awesome, but there’s still a lot of pieces that look completely different depending on who equips them. It’s just frustrating when you want a certain aesthetic and the game forces you into something else. They've made great progress, but alas, things like this still exist and bother us.

Supporting this!
I think that if they added a vendor section to trade the coins you get from the ARs, you can then buy whatever piece you want. The coffer would most likely match your character's gender by default, unfortunately... or they could come up with a new UI thingie that asks you what you want upon opening it. Would be terribly useful for savage/EX when we gotta switch to different jobs to open coffers, then switch back to keep on farming.

After glamour is fully unlocked in 7.4, the gender locked stuff is the final frontier for forbidden glams. Hopefully they're able to do something about the items mentioned in this thread in the not too distant future.

The AF gear is actually the worst offender here. I'm still mad about dancer AF.
