Please Stop Genderlocking Gear

Gender locking gear is high-key fine with me, due to male and female figures....and clothes needing to fit said figures, but class/job locking has got to go.........

First of all: it would look royally stupid on a male character. I mean it already looks dumb on a female one.
Second: the question we really need to ask is: why does it, yet again, turn into sth. a prostitute would wear on females in order to provide fanservice for horny teenagers?

1. skill issue it'd look great on me if they'd let me use it
2. it's... a cosplay set for an already existing character from a previous game... take issue with the original design if you like, obviously, but we don't need to ask that because it's got an obvious answer. it's not as if they turned the pants on the other new sets into panties on women as well

saying that clothes should stay genderlocked ~because figures~ just betrays a lack of creativity. my melezen looks just fine in "women's" clothing and my femezen would benefit from access to a lot of the male locked designs.

not all clothing even looks good on the gender it's "intended for" 100% of the time. for example, the "cuter" outfits on taller women like elezen, roes, or even viera can look like you just put an adult woman in children's clothing, yet they're not restricted from wearing them. a person's ability to make an outfit look good on their character shouldn't dictate what options they have.

gender unlocking and role unlocking are both things that should happen, the two goals don't need to be pitted against each other.

It's not like they didn't reshape all the genderunlocked glams. Everything is reshaped for the male bodies. This is a silly argument. It's just basically saying "I don't wanna see that."

Which is a feeling, not an argument, as clothing has no gender, and this is DIGITAL PIXEL CLOTHING which does have to be reshaped.

Making pants into thigh highs/shorts/a skirt is not an adjustment to fit the figure, though. It's to appeal to all the dudes who play catgirls and spend their days standing around in Limsa. And do NOT get me started on male caster/healer gear. They are 99% ugly potato sacks that look good on MAYBE Au Ra dudes because they have tiny waists.

Wouldn't the same argument apply to race lock? Lalas can't use other race's models. The same goes for Male Roe. It doesn't stop them from sharing gear. The gear keeps the theme and is adjusted to the body. That's what people are asking for, and it's something SE already has to do.
