Well, while I am not terribly pleased with the difference, I can't say I'm disappointed anymore either. As far as FFXIV goes, the male vs female armor difference exist, but aren't /that/ bad. The only one that I'm very annoyed with is Dragoon, why have that hole when the primary knights in that region use long, skewering weapons?
Anyway, if anyone's played FFXI (And really many other MMOs, but to avoid tangents, comparing XIV to XI at least keeps it within the same company) the armor in this game is actually pretty good. Scholar AF is noticeably different, and I'm sure most people don't hate that. Dragoon's has that dumb difference, but since I don't enjoy dragoon.. problem solved. And as always, I made ninja work. At least my tanks get a full set of plate and not some underwear with thigh pads.
So I'll make two notes on female ninja AF. First, while I don't know how the colours would go, Fuma Hakama (Same name as nin AF legs.. and yet a completely different design from female ninja.. sigh. Proof against the leg changes being necessary, since it wasn't for Fuma set) can supplement the set if you don't like the tight brown leather. Since I don't like the brooding character archetype, and my Lalafell is a bit more on the eccentric side.. I went with this:

Not great, but I'm content.
