Ms. Male Character - Tropes vs Women in Video Games

[Zaratustra]

is there any game where you can equip a ribbon on a character to make them female?

But I think she picked good examples. I mean, on Pinterest there's a "gender identifiers" tag that seems to state Flora's dress from Professor Layton is a "gender signifier". In a game where the protagonist wears a top hat unironically.

Can't watch the video but JRPGs have a long history of gender-based armor/accessories and it's almost always explicitly for women.  Dragon Quest is especially bad, where the only non-class restrictions are on stuff like dresses and hairpins; there are no male-only equips.

Dragon Quest has male-only equipment. There's not much of it, but it is there. Things like boxers. There's more in 9, which has lots of clothes.

Xenoblade is friggin' hilarious in how the same piece of armor looks on different characters.  Put it on the burly dude and it's huge and spiky; put it on a lady and it's a thong now.

Maybe the spikes are just in a different location that you can't see.

She really stuck it too.
