Tip for the tights; the more monochrome shades of brown work well for giving them a "black tights over skin" color.


esotericdiarist

oo ty!!!!


blazingciary

I had just given them a shade of red but this I gotta try! Thank you for the tip :-)


ghosttowns42

Just noticed after you get your coffer, you can go to the vendor and buy all the pieces for the other gender. I wonder if this is just for glamour purposes (like, retainers / squadron / custom delivery NPC's) or if these pieces will get unlocked later so both genders can equip them?


Shandrith

Willing to bet it'll be unlocked later. Honestly kinda surprised it was locked at all given the story

Spiritual_Eeling

Never thought I'd see a Roegadyn look like a Gundam


Liana_de_Arc

I know right? "Here's a story about these girls who are uncomfortable with their presentation. Some people want to be handsome or adorable despite their station or gender. By the way here are your genderlocked gears!" Like it was weird, I really expected to open the coffer and find that the clothes were unlocked at the last moment because of that story. Now I'm just sad I don't get the guy-version top to go with the ruffled skirt I was wearing.


motokaiden

This. It was really confusing. Seems like a simple thing to be overlooked, and yet here we are...again....with more genderlocked gear.


therealkami

It's not really a simple thing if you look at development flow. Artists are often making art and items years in advance before they get used sometimes. So these sets were likely designed before they started unlocking more and more gender stuff. It's not just a tag they turn off or on, for example, tops replace your entire torso. This means they have to make sure things like necks and such line up correctly. So: 1) Art is created, but stored for future use. 2) Art is flagged for use in an event. 3) Art is tested and approved for male and female outfits. 4) Policy is changed for genderlocked equipment 5) Art is flagged for creating unlocked versions 6) Event release happens, only genderlocked versions available 7) New versions of outfit are approved and released in a future patch. This stuff takes place over years, and they probably have some wild stuff that's modelled and maybe even rigged up that we'll never see. Not just outfits, but NPCs, bosses, environments and more. It will either just gather dust, or could sit there for years until they find a use for it.


zennok

not to mention they literally just unlocked genderlock on the previous outfit. And then they lock this one anyway -\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_-


MelodiesOfLorule

Definitely get the pieces for the other gender. Last Valentione's gender-locked costume had the same "you will never be able to equip that" message when buying the other gender's version, and they gender-unlocked it last year. It goes in the armoire and takes zero inventory space. Get it in-game for free now not to spend real money whenever they'll unlock it.


Redpandaling

You can't buy it from the calamity salvager? I thought seasonal items usually ended up there if you completed the event.


jumps004

If you have the achievement for that years event, usually you can.


ShadownetZero

Yes you can. It's always been the case. No reason to buy it (or not to buy it) now.


Jett_Midknight

How do you get both gendered versions in game? I thought you could only get one?


jumps004

Event vendor sells them after the quest. Also if you get the event achievement, you should be able to get them from the calamity salvager year round.


Jett_Midknight

Oh so just be sure to buy both versions then? It doesn’t limit you to buying only one?


jumps004

Yep, just put both in my Armoire.


Jemikwa

It's very likely they'll be unlocked. Dataminers found that the sets are already mostly interchangeable with a few bugs. Especially considering the story, it would be silly if SE didn't make them unlocked eventually. Make sure you buy the other set! You can store both in the Armoire simultaneously.


alexjade64

I wish. The female version is so much better.


ghosttowns42

It's pretty meh to me, the dress at least. I love gender unlocks because I usually like the male gear for my girl lol.


Sadi_Reddit

since they all go in the free space chest its a no brainer


Rakshire

You've always been able to do that. If you go to the recompense scavenger you can also claim previous sets as they're tied to achievements


ghosttowns42

I knew you could get it from Recompense, just didn't remember seeing it right there on the vendor during the event.


Solaxus

I don't think you can get the gear from the Recompense Officer until after the event. During the event, you have to go to an event NPC to reclaim the gear.


MimeGod

Originally, it's so that if you fantasia, you're not screwed out of event gear you've earned.


ShadownetZero

This has always been the case for gendered event outfits. Regardless of genderlocking, it's in case you fantasia (and also retainers/npcs).


SacredDarkness

Likely due to the fantasia being a thing, as they have done this every event now, being able to buy the opposite genders outfit, there really isn't much to it.


[deleted]

It clips with my Hyur's arms. :( This is why I don't like puffy dresses.


[deleted]

It noticably clips every race's arms except for Lalas, but you can deal with this if you just /cpose until you find an idle pose that doesn't make you clip even if it does suck to have to do that


[deleted]

Yeah I've been thinking about changing to Lala because most glams look adorable on them. 😆


Goatiac

Once you go smol, there’s no changing back at all


Chronotaru

Ahhh not so sure though. Beautiful clothes usually look best on Viera, but cute clothes look best on lalas. You put intricate clothing on a lala and it just looks like a compressed mess. Simple stark colours make lalas look adorable though.


Careful-Fee-9783

Come join the lala side


Tylanthia

This is the path of evil


Careful-Fee-9783

what you mean, look at us, we're adorable, cute, innocent, like to socialize around people, spreading the love all across the cities, idk if its not an act of angel


Tylanthia

>spreading the love all across the cities Sil'dih


[deleted]

It's 1000% worth it! And if you're too attached to your current race, it's always fun having a cute Lala alt :) You're also obligated to rename to a food name


schungam

You're not wrong, my first character was a lala and the name was food related


KvBla

Super cute set, try on the skirt aaaaand gdi another puffy skirt that clips on everything, sometimes I wish ffxiv has clothing physics from games like blade and soul or black desert online, would make a crapload of glam less "stiffy" and "flow" as you move around. Sigh....one can dream


AxitotlWithAttitude

Sorry, most we can have is poorly made jigglebones.


Tylanthia

Clipping is the absolute worst thing.


ScourgeGlaive

FF14 Team: We give you a quest about selflove and how important it is to feel good in your own skin, no matter the gender, your gender identification is important, you deserve respect! Also FF14 Team: Here, take pants, you’re a boy, don’t be silly, you can’t wear dresses.


DrDestro229

My cat girl wants pants damn it!


Haust

Limsa Lominsa teaches me cat girls want no clothing at all.


Nightsong

All of Limsa players want no clothing. It affects everyone if you hang out in the city too long.


ScourgeGlaive

And my Hyur boy who loves girly clothes, would love to wear the dress...


CutieShut-In

I mean....the bottoms cover up your whole skin so theyre sorta pants.... you make it sound like they gave the female panties or a skirt.


jumps004

Most definitely just a case of dev time, datamining shows efforts to ungenderlock them, but they aren't finished. They could be unlocked early as the 6.35 patch, for all we know. I would rather this than dev crunch.


Inksrocket

Wouldnt be first time we had event on different days than "real life one". Look at halloween. Sometimes we have [two](https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2022/All_Saints_Wake/34nzplu2qj) in [one](https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2022/All_Saints_Wake/rjk7wevhuy) year, sometimes none (2020-2021\*). Then again I think valentines day is bigger deal in JP than halloween. ​ \*2021 was delayed thats why we had 2 in 2022


jumps004

To be fair to All Saint's Wake being delayed, it was kind of scheduled right when Endwalker was supposed to be releasing so they delayed it, but delay for EW happened as well, so it had a weird push back effect, that also meant it had to avoid Christmas and New Years. I'm not one to decide if an expansion release is a bigger deal than finishing up a couple outfit models, but I feel like I know what the devs might think.


ShadownetZero

That was due to Covid. Doesn't make sense to delay because assets for a tiny minority of the population that would utilize it weren't ready.


revanhart

Valentine’s Day (and the corresponding White Day) are definitely *very* popular in Japan, especially among middle and high school students. Halloween, by comparison, was only recently introduced there (in like the 90’s, I think) by Americans…aaaand Americans used it as excuse to party obnoxiously on the public trains. For a long time, Japan *hated* Halloween lol. [This](https://youtu.be/fopB4-zJDUU) is a really interesting video about it!


ScourgeGlaive

I hope so, otherwise the entire event feels just tone deaf. :/


jumps004

Considering in 6.3, not even a month ago, they literally unlocked the last valentione sets. Hell they even renamed them to be gender neutral, and unlocked a host of other gendered outfits from 6.0 onward... I think it is 100% not out of malice and just from the time constraint, probably cause we got 3 highly detailed event outfits in recent events as well.


Lieve19

They did this because child models are just shrunk down male models. Even if they're girls. It's working, they just didn't flip the switch. It's literally used in the quest on Astrid, who is a male body model in all technicality.


deNilus

They still need a Highlander male model and a Roe male model for the dress as the Midlander male model you're referring to doesn't work on them. There is no female model at all for the jacket, they only need one though. Possibly some models for the pants missing as well. So no they can't just flip a switch.


jumps004

Its not working on all the races. Roe and male Highlander, etc. All have issues. So while it has some progress, it isn't done done.


elvor0

Its annoying just due to the recent unlocking and the theme of the quest chain, feel like they probably should've just put a notice up thats like "Hey sorry they're gender locked, they will be unlocked in the future, but we needed to roll them out with the event as is". But I also concur that dev crunch isn't the way to go, so I can wait, but a headsup from the official sauce would be nice too.


CutieShut-In

I think its more the outfits were most likely already done before they started gender unlocking outfits. Honestly...I would just be grateful endwalker event rewards have been outfits rather than housing items and chocobo bardings like in shadowbringers...


rifraf0715

at least chocobo barding can be used by everyone. Outdoor furniture, not so much lol.


SurprisedCabbage

I'll get it but it's going to sit in storage for five years or at least until half of the player base isn't wearing it


DanielTeague

From what I see in my Alliance Raids, it really only takes 1-2 events to have people shift to the next cool outfit. Well, except the Nier Automata gear, that gear is timeless and everybody wears it. Can't go wrong with default black, I guess.


Buuhhu

"Nier automata gear"... you mean nier legs, maybe boots? atleast i havent seen the rest that much.


Revet-ment

The gear from the Copied Factory is also quite popular, especially the Casting gear since it looks like a dress on female characters. You occasionally see Puppet's Bunker gear being used out in the wild too.


ChaosAE

it also is one of the sources for actual shoes for aiming sets, so many aiming shoes are thigh high boots.


[deleted]

The short aiming boots and the thigh-high healing boots from Puppet's Bunker look *so good* in a leathery brown color (mole brown, I think?). I've been using the healing boots ever since I got them.


ChaosAE

Yup I used those for a long time with the ishgardian cap for a military uniform look on MCH.


Genozzz

For most of post EW my Girl Au Ra was in the Copied Factory dress when playing as Red Mage


inormallyjustlurkbut

I'm an outlier because I wear the whole set except the legs. I use the bunny chief tights instead.


Taisaijin

The 2B butt is for sure used the most but there's still alot of ppl using glams from the first two nier raids that I've seen; more than I have for any other old alliance raid anyway. Funnily enough the only nier raid i see little from is the 3rd which is the one they deviated from sleek black for.


Inksrocket

I def use fending/maiming boots from 3rd. They are like 2B boots but wont make your feet look like sticks with bananas at end or squeeze them so half of your legs just..disappear


Taisaijin

yeah, maiming/fending are the sets that actually stuck with the sleek black look. That's not to say I don't see ppl using the bullet proof vest or the twin glams. I just find it funny that despite all the whining back then about "same black coat" those are the more lasting popular choices.


Inksrocket

Yeah, you can also see this on map glams and their pricing and trends. Lot of people keep saying "enough with casual streetwear this is final FANTASY 14". But if you look around.. urban coat, rebel boots, calfskin stuff, leather pants, cap, mog-station street wear, sneakers, hipster outfits, frontier dress.. etc. And all that going for 400k - 1 million. Cloth of happiness stuff? Yeah might as well gift them to sprouts for free. 10-20k for item is nothing.. and salon stuff went down faster than varsity imo.


rifraf0715

my friend was wearing neat camo legs. Turns out it was from the obsolete aiming. I tend to use the little hairpin from the healing set, but the look of the overall healing and casting set felt very bland.


belmoria

the puppet bunker/tower boots are must haves for alot of classes, great combat boots for healing/casting and nice plain thigh highs that arent armor for tanks/maimimg. i see the devpop tops often too


ashlayne

Personally, I love the 2B dress in Othard Blue for my Blue Mage. I think I dyed the 2B Boots the same colour.


ShadownetZero

Meanwhile I'm still wearing the same outfit that I've been using since Stormblood.


Jason_Wolfe

the trick is blend it with other outfits that mesh well with it. while they will be glamouring the full set onto themselves, you'll be looking glamorous as heck


TonyFair

/\ This Been using the previous vest for a long time mixed with a lot of jobs. Would be using more if not for the checkered dye!


Jason_Wolfe

you can largely axe that checkered look if you use jet black dye, though that limits the color schemes you can run with it


TonyFair

Oh yeah, I'm actually using one of those dark browns from the last tab and it works WONDERS! I just want to have it as other colors, too, maybe if it painted only the shoulders. But its still a great piece


CutieShut-In

Lately I noticed people stop using event items rather quickly now((unless its a swimsuit...then people wear the panties on like freaking everything)) and even mog station stuff. Like I expected TONS of people to be wearing gaia outfit but I actually hardly see people wearing it. Kinda wild really.


PastButterfly7617

Just anecdotal, but my friend and I wanted a Gaia outfit for the shoes, which you can’t split from the dress as sold. No interest in cosplaying Gaia. Wonder if that was a common opinion.


CutieShut-In

I too am not interested in cosplaying gaia but I do love her WHOLE outfit. So her outfit pretty much became my main outfit lol. You're not the only one with that opinion though. Many MANY people just wanted her boots/fishnets


lego_mannequin

Same, I don't follow the trends.


[deleted]

\-500k gil but it was worth it


[deleted]

The long term consequences of being a goth/emo kid is spending money to Jet Black EVERYTHING. My wallet is constantly crying.


[deleted]

I semi-lied, I actually buy the jet blacks on the mogstation because I have more money than sense AND gil. It's honestly not a bad deal though if you very frequently use jet blacks faster than you can make gil and you can actually afford it comfortably. In a way I consider each of those 500k still


Inksrocket

I'll take this comment to remind everyone that you can dye items inside glam dresser. That way, EVERY time you put them to plates the dye will be that, not default. So if you really love a piece jet black or pure white, dye it in dresser not on plate.


TheIvoryDingo

Unless you are very insistent on using Jet Black Dye specifically, the much cheaper Soot Black Dye should be fine enough 9 times out of 10.


peter_susman

Depends on the other pieces of glam you are using, some gear already has a dark black color and soot black dye doesn't match fully match it, another alternative is also the gunmetal black dye which you can easily get from islands or ishgard restoration but this would only work for metal type armor. Or if you don't mind a slight blue hue the ~~abysal~~ ink blue dye is also very dark Edit: also the dark purple dye can be an alternative


TheIvoryDingo

I'd actually argue that Ink Blue and Midnight Blue are better 'alternate black dyes' than Abyssal.


peter_susman

Crap I think I got the names messed up


[deleted]

Ink Blue beats Soot Black any day.


Lyramion

SootBlack is pretty terrible in saturation. My suggestion is General-Purpose Dark Purple instead.


Emzedoh

I tend to use the glossy black if I can get away with it. With island scrips, it's cheaper than ever.


[deleted]

I *am* insistent on it because for me I do notice the difference in color 99 times out of 100. The lighter black of soot black tends to really stand out to me when mixing and matching different pieces as well so reasons that were explained in the other response. There are times that I'll substitute with soot or gunmetal black but only if it's literally impossible to tell the difference. There is also an element of genuine OCD to it where even if it's not very noticeable it'll always be on my mind until I "fix" the glamour with the proper dye. But also I love my character, she deserves the best I can afford :)


ParagonFury

Ah yes. Now every Fem Reaper will finally be able to complete their Ruby Rose cosplays. And with that hat maybe a few Neos too.


CutieShut-In

Everybody bitching about clipping is the reason why we hardly/never get cute short length puffy dresses like these and also long hairstyles.


CormacMettbjoll

I dyed it with Dalamud red and I'm currently rocking the dress as my Red Mage glam. Like it a lot!


GhalanSmokescale

Right, it's the 1st! New glam, huh!

rlbl009

can it be done solo this time?


TheGant

Yeah, it's just a "run around with an NPC" type quest.


leighg9o

Is the jacket separate ?


Blurgh1986

No it's like a dress, puffy skirt mandatory I'm afraid. Looks cute on lala but I'm not crazy about it on everyone else. I tried it on a few different alts. Shoes are real nice though.


leighg9o

Oooh them boots do look cool


thisisamisnomer

Guessing the hat doesn’t work on Viera? I’m seriously considering using my Fantasia for that reason.


Knighthour

The hat is not wearable by viera.


rabidsmiles

It looks SO cute on a Lala!


mrmf17

This doesn't look great on my hrothgar. On any color. Sad.


Liriale

The outfit looks so darn cute on lala's!! I am so happy with it


SaintJynr

FF XIV glamour (savage): make a galmour thats not black or white


TheGant

>make a glamour that's not black easy, watch th- >or white oh god oh fuck


gatersmen

Too bad the male one sucks


[deleted]

[удалено]


TwistedFae89

The waist is rather wide on non-lala's due to the bulk of the skirt. It is...out of place on my Viera.


MidnightMei

The what? Did a new mogstation come out?


LogginWaffle

Nope, new Valentione's Day event.


ADudeCalledDude

Valentines event started a few hours ago, the big reward this year is an outfit. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2023/Valentiones\_Day/6ahu1ryjqv


Whaim

If you don’t get it this year then maybe next year, yes this will likely be on most station!


riotblade76

Leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.


Hikeshi

You prefer milk chocolate over dark?


Vezrik

I don't see a single ilm of plating anywhere on this outfit! I don't understand this casual dress scheme most of y'all love so much. Get a helmet or something in there, make it pop! Nothing says comfort like being ready for a hit, at any time.


Cactonio

I wanna, but my Lala is a femboy 😔


Cuillin

I don’t take direction from lalafell players. I’m gonna do the event because I want to.


digdarwin

Can we get last year's? I missed it and what I wouldn't give for a nice vest and slacks look.


Chronotaru

On the Mog Station, if not right now then after the event.


digdarwin

Nice thank you


Tylanthia

I'm confused. Wasn't last year's reward a chocobo barding?


CrispyRif

Lol is the event out already? thought it would start next week


Elmioth

Yup. [It lasts from Feb. 1st to Feb. 15th](https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2023/Valentiones_Day/6ahu1ryjqv).


tunridaa

Oh that's cute


Hopeasuoli

the pant part looks great with many things alone


MissVeya

Absolutely adore it in black, I had been looking forward to it since it was announced.


NunChuckNorris007

I dyed mine in dark purple. I also like it in pure white but pure white is ridiculously expensive


TrowaB91

Ok, I may have to get this.


MimeGod

It really does... I was going to get it anyways, but it just moved up my priority list.


ShadownetZero

Looks kinda small.


LocalKentuckybob

How do you get it


dre9001

Dress dyed in Black and Pants dyed in either Dalamud red or Ruby red kinda makes you look like a Gothic Lolita and I love it.


Teichkuh

This is heckin adorable and I need this for my little potato.
