+1 to this I don't make friends based on gender and I don't think you can really generalise about female MMO players like that. If we're going to talk about being 'girly' or 'girl packs' then yes I'm into that sort of stuff. Nothing wrong with being girly! But I also have many male friends, I just also happen to LOVE video games :) we're all into different stuff that's just how it is. Which is why I'd like more variety in the first place, to respect all the differences between us and our likes and dislikes :D

I was born a dude and like being girly >.>


lolz

I'm a little bit gutted if that company NPC is the female Roe. There was a part of me hoping that they would be exactly the same as the males visually but with smeared and badly applied makeup. I picture female highlanders as the same, but all with facial hair, it just would have been SO funny. When i think of them i cant picture anything else. I see the male miqotes as being the character thats /barely-male/, all cutesey and feminine, visually identical but without the breasts. I think its only fair we have Roegadyn be the other side of the spectrum. Honestly if it werent for the ears i wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the company NPC chick and a duskwight Elezen, and we already have them in the game.

except that Duskwights have no neck, long ears, larger breasts, smaller face, less muscle, less mass over all, shorter. Smaller nose. Smaller brows. high forhead hair line. Live in Caves, French Names...

While Merlwyb has a long neck, short ears, small breasts, large face, more muscle, more mass over all, taller then everyone else in the picture, larger nose, larger broader brow, low forehead hair line, Live off the Sea and Germanic Names.

I really hope you'll be gutted then. That would be so visually unappealing it would be ridiculous.

I'm really happy for you all that want to play as a female roe or male mi'qote! I am excited to see them around Eorzea in the future, and I may just have to make one as my alt. <3

Honestly, it is hard for me to tell how the admiral/female roes will look in game based on the artwork. Of course we can analyze her relative size to chocobos, look at her features, etc, but it is hard for me to imagine how the actual NPC would look in-game next to the other races. I think the art looks really promising though! Her looks are distinctive and attractive without being overly "pretty" or "girly"; whatever her proportions are like in-game, I think she will look strong and dignified.

As for males and females of each race being similar to each other . . . I figure that gender dimorphism would vary by species, just like it does in nature.

Am I the only one who thinks these should be unlockable races? That way they'd still be rare. Something like you need to get a job to 50 and you'd get your jobs reseted to 1.

I don't think that would go over very well lol XD, I don't think anyone would want to level all the way to 50 on a character they dont want to play as just to have their levels reset when they finally get to start as the race they wanted to play as at the beginning. I think they should just save that for unlocking new/advanced jobs/classes like they did in FFXI.

For the way XIV plays no. WoW it would be ok I think. They already did that with Dark Knight. Because of One Character = Access to everything, it would be unfair to require someone hit 50 before being able to start the character they want to play as.

Agreed I dont even know why someone would even suggest something like that. With the way FFXIV is designed that would be highly unwanted.
