Missing Genders: A request for Male Miqote, Female Highlander, and Female Roegadyn

was worried this thread was sinking since we semi-got the answer we wanted, but yeah Dev tell us if they're gonna be playable or not XD

I had only really wanted to play a male miqo'te or two at first... But after seeing Chief Admiral Merlwyb, strong and proud-looking, I think I'll just have to make a female Roegadyn too if they release them. >.> She's so cool! :D /bowdown

Yes, she definitely is, I can't wait to see her in game.

why would they wait till ps3 lauch to add npcs... remember they was going to be added as playable races pre launch but didn't have the man power, with them delaying several games. They will prob have that. They already have the models.

I can see some NPCs being added with companies, though not many. Maybe a few over time till PS3 release. Then playable at PS3. Makes sense to me to add playable at PS3 release - right when all these new people are coming in. Gives them more choices.

I know this thread was created and focused mainly on female roegadyn and male miquote, but what about the possibility of other Final Fantasy races? I'll probably change to a male miquote if they are made playable (kinda tired of seeing this hume after playing it for 8+ years on xi), but if anything I'd rather be a Gria :3

The Spiritual successor for Gria is already present in game to an extent in the form of Padjal but they are a Storyline race like the Zilart from XI.

As for other FF races, I think they want to avoid doing that as it would break the immersion in this world. While FFXI and XIV share similar races they are technically in the Same Universe just different planets. While games like FF7 and FF8 are from different universes from each other. though... FF7 and FFX are in the same universe just different planets.

Confusing. Yah?

Extremely, but I'd love to hear more o.o

I wouldn't mind seeing other races added to the game. I'm always up for new races, but as of right now I can only see the Padjal being introduced as playable (only because they're they only other humanoid race we know of), and I think that's HIGHLY unlikely. But if perhaps one day we expand from Eorzea to other parts of Hydaelyn and come across a new race, it might become an option. ^-^
I'm happy as things are now though. With male Miqo'te, female Highlanders and Female Roegadyn on the way (someday), I feel we'll have plenty of choices. Even more so when we can customize our characters more.
That is, assuming they will be playable, which SE didn't clearly state, but I think was implied. D:

I'm too playful / talkative to be a Hyur. I'm tall but I'm far from a husky guy so Roegadyns don't do much for me. I'm not serrious enough to be an Elezen. Though I'd rather be a demon or a wolf, male Miqote kinda solves my problem of my character not matching my personality. I just think horns would suit me better than fluffy ears ^w^

On the speculation of whether or not the two races will be playable, it wouldn't make much sense to post about adding them for the ps3 release if they were npc only. Considering that the counterpart sexes are playable for each respective one, and the entire thread has the theme of adding them as playable characters, I'd say I'm 99.9999999% sure they meant they will be playable.
