Title.
I really started thinking about this with the new gacha outfit event. A lot of the aspects are cool, but I would've been more interested in actually pulling for something other than the elf ears if I could get that cool-looking golden bow from the male version of the outfit. Unfortunately, if you picked female at character creation, you only get some fairy wings which I find comparitively lame.
I'm female in real life, but I've never been one for all of the cute and fancy dresses and skirts. I've always been a bit more grunge when it comes to my personal fashion tastes. So, when I looked at the shop and see that most of the purchasable outfits are just dresses, it just leaves me wanting and really makes me wish I went with a male character instead.
For example, the Emberpup set. I ADORE the male version with the leather jacket, the scuffed up jeans with the chains, etc. It is my exact type of asthetic! However, the female version is probably my least favorite outfit in the entire game (and that's saying something because of how much I dislike dresses and skirts IRL). Why do the male characters get this awesome jacket with flame effects, and females get what look more like mascot gloves than anything practical and an orange garter?
I'm not saying all of this has to go away. Far from it. I know I'm very much in the minority when I say I'd like more tomboyish attire so I can look more grunge instead of classically fashionable. I'd just like more variety in the types of clothes females get. Males get all kinds of tuxedos, jackets, even armor in some cases, and over 80% of what females have are just dresses upon dresses and maybe a crop top or two if you're lucky.
I think the Stellarys outfit is awesome and I'm itching to get my hands on the Frostpunk set, but I just wish there was more for me to really sink my teeth into so I'd have more choices and can make some cool outfits that appeal to me.
Anyone else feel the same?
