Character creation options received a response so hopefully this thread will. I wish they would just give a yay or nay at least.

I wonder if they clump races/genders into Character Creation Options.

I hope they leave the races as is or make the male cat actually manly not the emo cat from XI,

At the very least you should add [Suggestion] to the title of this thread. D:

You can't edit the title name. The tag cloud should be enough thats what they search for anyway.

It would make sense if they did. I seen the response in that thread from the mod and hope we will see one here soon to clarify if they clump the two or not and to get a answer .

wow, this thread is still going strong ... after 53 pages someone at SE has to have seen this by now.

Fixed. Not everyone still has the default settings for posts per page. For instance, I'm only on page 14. :cool:

Well, I think its a good idea, considering there's no ffxi lore keeping the new genders away anymore.

Though I think female roegadyn might end up being the new rarest gender...

Added Kallera and Duelle to the list on page 50. :3 Don't even know why I'm keeping track. XD
I guess, even though I heard about people wanting this back in XI (and I was one of them..) it was kind of a rare thing for me to run into someone who said they also wanted the other genders added. Though at that point I think most people had given up on asking SE. I didn't think there were so many of us. :x
I'm surprised at our numbers I guess. And this is just here on the forum.. there must be many other people out there who want it but haven't posted. Seeing the Community Rep post in character creation options makes me wonder if we're next.
Perhaps we are just being left until more important things are being answered.

I'd hope thats the case Nabiri

So do I, I'd be happy with a message from a community rep. it would definitely be a step closer to a answer.

31 likes on the first post so far in less then a week since the feature was implemented. Though, I can't tell if thats good or bad :P

I will think positive and say it's a good thing :P

Totally bumping and maybe adding a semi-constructive post. Let's see....:

I am against gender restrictions.

I am in favor of having all race/gender combos.

Am I doing it right?

I suppose I don't really care.

If you asked me this in FFXI, I would say hell no. They have reasons for it in the Lore in FFXI, so I would be against adding them (and it would make the one NPC from the Wings of the Goddess expansion much less cool)

I'm not sure if the Lore is the same in FFXIV. I haven't found anything personally, but I haven't really looked either. If the Lore is the same ("manthra" are extremely rare and kept caged back home, and Roegadyn are asexual), then I would be against it. If they don't plan on keeping that lore, however, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Kaedan the first post does explain the lore already mentioned in game and on the FFXIV site itself.

Male Miqote - Prolific but solitary and anti-social they prefer to work on their own rather then in groups (Similar to male lions.)

Female Roegadyn - Some are Prominent members of society and high in political and Financial circles. Also known to be quiet beautiful. Have higher business sense then the males seem to have.

Female Hyur Highlander - Most chose to stay near/around Ala Mihgo to help try and salvage and rebuild it while the males went out looking for help from the rest of Eorzea.

Ahh, sorry 'bout that. The first post was kinda a wall of text, so I didn't click on all the links.

By the sounds of the lore, it seems they are purposefully leaving it open to add them at a later date. I wouldn't have a problem with them adding it, but I don't want them to add them just because people whined about it. If they planned to not have them for the purpose of later expansions (like the NPC in Wings of the Goddess), then I would be against it. I guess I just side with SE on this one. If they're ok with releasing them, then yay. If they feel they're being "forced" into releasing them, then I'm against it.

As it is now, not having them actually goes more against lore then adding them would. Which is one reason some people should get behind them adding them just on its own merit of maintaining the lore.

Greetings everyone!

We can definitely see the enthusiasm being shown in this topic, and it's not something we're overlooking! We are currently discussing with the development team now and will report back once we receive a response.

Which is why I said that it seems as if they worded the lore in such a way to suggest that they might be added later, so I agree on that point.

But, regardless, I'm going to support SE on this one. If they have reasons for not wanting to release them, then I don't think they should be forced to release them. That doesn't appear to be the case, but I would want SE to remain true their purpose if it was.

Do you ever sleep, man? If we meet, I'm buying you a bottle of Knob Creek Bourbon...

Glad to hear something for our biggest topic on this forum.

Since the character features topic had a response with Yoshi-P considering "changing your character's existing appearance", there could be the possibly of an addition to the missing race's genders with an option of race changing later far down the road. (I'm reading in between the lines on this)

"I" is the reason your argument fails.

If you do not need them doesn't mean they shouldn't be implemented.


Thats like telling car makers "I don't use Air Conditioning so you don't need to install it on all cars."

Or telling Computer manufacturers. "I don't use USB, I only use PS/2 Ports so you can just not install them on all computers."

If you think of all the other problems with the game ie missing CONTENT what do you think would be delayed even further if they decided to add in these "missing" genders.....

I'd like a male migote ;P only cuz it would remind me of FFIX's Zidane XD Would be cool if we could hide the ears *dreams*

We are not asking for them to be implemented immediately.

Right now we are just asking for an answer on if they are going to be implemented at all.
Then a possible time frame. If they get implemented at all I don't expect them to show up until the First Expansion or PS3 Release which could still be a year off.

If you'd read Cairdeas's first post, you would have known that this thread is all about just GETTING A DEFINITE ANSWER. Not asking for it to be implemented, asking if it is going to be implemented at all.

I'm freaking serious you guys just find anything to troll/whine/complain about. Yet you fail to give reasonable and constructive criticism about how an idea will not work.

I think SE is smart enough not to release the missing genders until they're ready to.

Well THIS is something I wasn't expecting. Thanks for the assist as usual, Bayohne and community team.

Well excellent work people.

Who knows if they'll actually do something about it in the future, but at least they're brutally aware now. :P

And if he's actually an android, does he dream of electric sheep?

I wonder if they'll be all like "we're thinking of adding an aquatic race." At the discussion table?

I've always loved the animal-like races like the Bangaa and Nu Mou. :( I think the Gria would be too popular a choice if there were a counterpart. x-x
