I think the isn't isn't so much subligars, but the fact that in FFXI, at some point in your career, you HAD to wear one. And they were always identical for both male and female, so that lacey, frilly pair of Job-specific panties? Yes, they're just as lacey and frilly and PANTIES when worn by the male stripper cowboy elvaan over there.
Of course, it may have just been less daunting for female characters since they weren't given much choice most of the time about baring their legs. Those thick breeches on a guy magically turn into panties for a girl. Heavy cuisses? Well, the girls seem to have had all the material from their hips to mid-thigh removed. Oh, you're a Ninja, and you like those board shorts they get? Sorry, on a female, they're FISHNETS.
So I guess Subligars represent a modicum of revenge on guys and all their pants-hoarding. Here's your panties, guys. Show off those legs! And don't worry... at some point, these will be the best lower-body armor you can get, so you'll HAVE to wear them, or be gimp. So suck it up and get that bikini wax done!
