FFXIV, please stop clothing your men.

We recently got some updates on the 7.1 patch and with it some pictures of gear from the new dungeon (references below. See: WAR and middle gearset). Idk why this time specifically is my breaking point, but I'm going to add my voice to what has been said so many times before:

FFXIV team, PLEASE stop making gendered differences to the same pieces of gear. It's a near universal complaint I've seen in my 4 and a half years of playing this game and, while I'm very glad that a lot of glamour pieces got their gender-locks removed over the years, this specific complaint has never so much as been addressed.

The glamour system is great because it let's you choose from a large catalogue of pieces from throughout the 10 years of this game. That being said, if I want my character to wear pants I will pick pants, and if I want my character to wear shorts I will pick shorts. With respect, please stop limiting our options.

Thank you.

Hard agree.
In the same vein please let me put pants (and other male-locked pieces of clothings) on my female characters when I want to. The amount of times I've seen a cool pair of trousers on a male character only for them to turn into panties and stockings and the like on a female character is annoying.
Same goes for nice tops. I really want the male version of the casual attire body piece for my female WoLs for example. :/
Please SE, let everybody have cool stuff. Everybody wins.

I'd really like to have the male Neo Ishgardian sets on my female midlander, while still being able to use female set on my female au ra.... The power of choice, SE.... give it to us. Please let us exchange the m/f sets like we are able to for the wedding sets and other gender unlocked gear. Hell, I wouldn't even mind farming or crafting them again. Just let us choose!

Small Clothes type toggle when?

[petitmignon]

Finding out that's the tank top has ruined my morning LOL.
I would give anything for that top to be on healer/caster. I'm so tired or robes. Just remove glamour restrictions already.

Let me put my catboy in booty shorts, please and thank you

I came here to say this. If those booty shorts turn into pants on my catboy I swear to god I will scream.

I think they will unfortunately. If I'm not mistaken the outfit with the pair of shorts is the tank gear in the second picture and that roe seems to wear long pants...
(It's also most likely the same gear the male viera wears, just with the typical colour change.)

[Alice_Rivers]

Anyone remember when we had replica allagan and sky pirate stuff that was unrestricted? Whatever happened to that?

Adding my voice to this, male vs female dancers was true pain
