Please Stop Genderlocking Gear

[Nero-Voidstails]

-Was this in response to my question? If so, all of those came out years before unisex was a thing in FFXIV.
Therefore, them being designed in the way that they were had nothing to do with allowing them to become unisex, as they were designed before they were unisex. This argument too, fails. Sigh.

is it tho? and yes it was but was mostly to point out some overall outfit not really answer.

my main point is just instead of asking to genderlock I do rather have better glam overall and glamour dresser like I feel genderlock overall isn't the problem but just lack of option.


also other opinion I have you might agree on that one tho. socking and tights should be like a what the facewear is but for legs

Better glam overall would also be nice. That's not the subject of the thread, but I will for sure agree with that.
It should be much better, more detailed, ideally more fantasy and less modern glams that can all be equipped on whoever regardless of gender.
FFXIV has always been a little...uninspired when it comes to glam making, with males usually getting the shortest end of the stick (probably have what, 30 pairs of the exact same slack pants). but all of this is just my opinions and feelings as well.

If they produced much better looking glams, that would raise the benefits to removing genderlock even more, as instead of just one awesome new outfit, everyone would then have two new awesome outfits to mix and match with. It would be a win win for many players, so I hope to someday see that come true.

you see where I think what should happen is we should have both version female and male but also have a other one what could be a mix of the two instead that would be a good middle ground in my book

I was thinking "ahh another of these posts" and I came in anyway and I immediately AGREED.
Let male characters be lewd and female characters be modest if the players want to.
Release BOTH versions for the players to choose.

It's literally the "male armour vs female armour" meme in this case.

Sir this is a game for 13 and above, if anything this game needs less lewd things, not more.

That is certainly a valid opinion to have, however given that the lewd items already exist in game, it's weird and unfair that ONLY female characters can wear them. What kind of precedent and example does that set?

Though personally I don't think that the item in question or any other gear in this game really counts as 'lewd', anyway. NPC dialogue, on the other hand...

Shout out to the absolutely goofy-looking Rathalos armor.

That said, the amount of thinly veiled heteronormativity and sexism that drips off of the posts of people going "if you wanna wear a dress, play a female character" as well as using female as a noun unironically is... a choice.

Alternatively, it'd be nice if they can add "/visor"-like function to all slots.
