DEVELOPER RESPONSE

Greetings,

This year's Moonfire Faire is right around the corner, and during the event, we will be making it possible to obtain all of the swimwear from version 1.0. Likewise, next year, there is a good chance that we do the very same thing with the yukatas.

While we don't have any plans for it currently, if there are enough demands for it, the development team can look into setting up an NPC that would allow you to exchange your items if you've switched your character's gender when remaking your character.

------------------------------------
Thank's for the update Camate!


With ARR's appearance re-do option for Legacy Characters, there appears to have been a slight oversight with the seasonal items that were locked to a particular gender, for example, The Moonfire-faire's Yukata.

This is by no means an essential addition to the game, but as these items have a sentimental value, with a change of gender on my character it would still be nice to exchange these items (perhaps with the salvager like they do with ingredients currently) for a male version of the item.

I can understand this is not a high priority, but should the development team take a notice/note of this, I feel the 1.0 players who've encountered the same problem as me would be very appreciative.

I submitted a bug report about this when I noticed that I was locked out of my swimsuits after my gender swap. I'm a little bummed. Hopefully they'll fix this in the near future.

I had this problem as well, so I am with you and here's hoping they'll figure out a way =)

I'm pretty sure Yoshida said that since you can change the gender of your character at start of ARR they will introduce a way to change the seasonal items?
