hello!! i just wanted to make a little thread to air out my grievances with the continuation of new gender-locked clothing; particularly in regards to the new pvp gear set to come in 7.3. i'm always beyond excited for gear with this aesthetic as it really fits my interpretation of my warrior of light-- especially for the new shorts and leggings combo, seen on the live letter!
i was disappointed to find the new screenshot previews showed a male character in the same outfit as what i saw, however, dressed in slacks as opposed to the shorts i really liked. i expect to get a lot of "deal with it" or "it can't always be your way" sort of replies back here, which i can't quite change the opinion of. however, when square enix wants to present ffxiv as a more diverse and welcoming game than before, it feels baffling to keep up the endless onslaught of slacks for men as opposed to a simple set of shorts for a change. my poor miqo'te's gonna get overheated wearing all these slacks in tural
so, tl;dr: as someone who is personally gender non-conforming and loves to see it in their own characters as well, please at least give us the option to wear either the new slacks or the original shorts variant of the new pvp gear to come!! i think that female warriors of light should be able to try on some slacks for a change, too
) in the future, i'm sure that ending the whole thing around genderlocking clothing can save the dev team some work in making variants, too!!
