2024.08.30 Monster Hunter Wilds will now allow players to wear armor sets regardless of their character’s gender! Read on to learn more about how fans reacted to the news and how this revolutionizes ‘fashion hunting.’
There’s a few obscure and older cosmetic clothing items that I think are still gender locked from events from years ago, but a number of them have been retextured for use on both male and female characters over time. I think they intended to remove gender locked gear entirely and were making progress; even the fishnet-bunny outfits from the Gold Saucer can be worn by males of all races now.
This has more to do with technical debt and the obscurity of the items than deliberate choice. They started out having distinct items for genders and correcting these for 2024 is not a high priority compared to many other things that need work.
The main items that are still gender locked that you will encounter as a normal player are swimwear and level 1 starter gear. In the case of the starter gear, you can easily buy the correct gender stuff if you end up changing our characters gender or race if you know which of many NPCs sells it in the capitol towns.
Honestly, it’s more of a travesty ho few hats are available to Viera. Give me bnnuys with hats! Also, how many hair styles are locked off to certian races without this being very visible in the game when you get them.
FUCKING FINALLY
alhamdulillah, that’s good, based 💖
what do you mean by, almost everything though? why can’t those be worn by either man/woman characters? ^^;;; /genq
