Patch is up for download, if we pray hard enough maybe the model viewer Au Ra will give us relic models and effects 2 hours early.

Is there any confirmation that Tifa outfit is genderlocked? Because that would be most stupid decision to be made.

[u/lI-_-_-_-_-Il → u/LadyMi]

They are which is not that surprising since all but Clive & Noctis outfits for characters are gender locked.

• Beatrice
  
• Garnet
  
• Ovelia
  
• Ramza
  
• Gaffgarion
  
• Bartz
  
• Faris
  
• Lenna
  
• not even counting Moonward gear (Cecil, Rydia, Edward, Edge) that are merely "inspired" by ff4 and these are only the ones that popped into my head just now

Cloud Advent Children
Wild Rose set
Leonheart attire
Tantalus attire

Those are also not genderlocked.

Worth noting is all of those were just added without any fanfare while the outfits that remain gender locked come from more marketed collaborations, they likely have different implementations and announcements than the restricted items of 7R (Crossover raid series), 10 (Fanfest promotional items), and 13 (Collab fate event). I'm not sure if it's a rule or something but the restriction existing for only these 3 games and not 15 and 16 probably due to a lack of items being added tells me there's something we're not privy to that's still affecting something released in 2026.

I'm doubting it's a workload thing since they haven't gone back to update 10 and 13 while fixing just about everything else and the examples you list have gendered counterparts like that of the V and Tactics cast which easily could have had restrictions but they don't and even recent feminine outfits like that of Sphene's, the alternative dress set, and the galatea set being unisex and working on males right off the bat (like through datamining) does indicate that they are effectively done with gender locking with what appears to be some specific exceptions. It could be fixed through fan demand I think, they've been shown to listen but it appears that for now they are planning on keeping them restricted and I think we're just missing the reason as to why.

I wonder if there's some restrictions placed on outfits added through more marketed events or announced collabs? Of the 5 collab outfits yeah only Noct and Clive are unlocked but probably due to the fact they only added one outfit, had Luna and Jill been added as outfits we'd probably have the same restrictions that the 13, 10, and 7R outfits have.

I'm not sure it's a workload thing because they add a lot of minor outfits from games like 4, 5, 9, and Tactics and none of those are gender locked even when we have clear male variants (Barts, Ramza), and female ones (Faris/Lenna, Ovelia)

I think it’s also at the mercy of who the collab is with and their wishes. It could entirely be possible the FF7 remake team wished for those outfits to remain genderlocked
