Come to think of it, did people complain about the "bishop turret" when it was introduced? Or is it just easier to spot the theme when it's immediately paired with the rook?

Also, given the chess theme, you definitely want a queen (most powerful piece on the board) over a king (short range; causes a wipe if defeated)...

But now that MCH has the Queen, how would they top it in 6.0? Poor Knight being skipped over.

AST convinces them that poker is the new wave and MCH goes full Gambit.

Well, it is a point of the MCH storyline that Ishgard already has plenty of knights...

Actually that could possibly explain the choice of the chess theme in the first place.

What if the player is the King? After all, the game is over when the King is in Checkmate.

Ooh, that's true. They might not want to antagonize the knights by saying they're replaceable by automatons.

You got three choices:

-Him
-Her
-It

Believe it or not, a significant number of haters for all three pronouns exist. Yes, even "it".

After just leaving the vault: There are even automated chess pieces knights in Ishgard - as part of the protection in the Vault! So... they're spoken for, I guess?

Well they could have gone with Knight instead.
What can they top Queen with in 6.0?

It's a "Queen" so it can transform into 2B or A2 next expansion.

Checkmate? or they give MCH a little army of Pawn turrets that swarm the enemy lol

That said I'm actually surprised they [seemingly] skipped Knight, given how it has a lance and all /think

The MCH is presumably the Knight, since it's game over if it falls.

Does the OP not know what a Chess game is?

Chess pieces have actual genders now?

Yea, forget the expansion, some people just need time away from the Internet for a while.

That would be the King, not the Knight :p

As others said earlier this thread, plenty of potential reasons for there not to be a Knight turret.

1. The initial Machinist questline revolves around trying to improve Ishgardes defenses, which was entirely composed of Knights, by letting any man, even the lowborne of the Brume, be capable of picking up a weapon and fighting for Ishgarde. It ends with the agreement that Machinists supporting Knights makes for the strongest defense. In this respect, the Knights are your fellow party members, or at least the tank. Designing a Knight turret or automaton would suggest replacing Ishgardes knights, or in a gameplay aspect, replacing the Tank. So if Knight ever is implemented it would likely be an emnity generating machine, not a damaging one.

2. Ishgarde already has Knight automatons in the Vault. Name is already taken. We do NOT want to be sued by the Holy See for copyright infringement, believe me! Remember what Alphinaud and Tataru had to go through just because of a suspicion of breaking the law? Imagine if they had just plain straight up broken it!

You know what..? I never even thought of chess when playing MCH, I was just literally thinking the naming had something to do with Ishgard and their culture...learned something new lol

Im confused why the title means any exact anyways. I mean the Fae ruler is referred to (quite a few times) as the King of the Fae and yet Titania is CLEARLY a female (and this is even referenced in the game how the ruler is ALWAYS called King) so yeah...just cause the Automaton is called Queen doesn't immediately equate to a female robot. Also I agree that its likely the same as the fact that bishop and rook are (well were in bishop case) chess piece names and thus Queen is also chess reference.

Cant you just, leave the gender of the Automation ambiguous like you did with the Puppets in XI? That way we can name and RP our bots however we want

I know you and your playerbase are scared of the concept of big men let alone big robot men but just let us have King and Queen or just no gender at all.

And I know what people are gonna say *Well men can be queens* this is a JRPG and the fanbase is like 80% hetero white dudes, they cant even grasp the concept of a guy being over 200 pounds let alone being a Queen.

My response is just a reference to the band Queen. :P You could say what you will about Freddy Mercury, but that guy could sing!

When I served in the Army back about 13 years ago, Airborne Infantry called themselves the Queens of Battle while Field Artillerymen called themselves the Kings. Infantry was an all male institution at the time. So yeah you're right, Chess is a neutral ungendered game and reference.

I think people fail to realize that what was once masculine and feminine pronouns and references have long been disgendered in most Western Cultures. Furthermore what is considered masculine and feminine is no longer tied to gender or sex. And this is in both western and eastern cultures. The future is here. And its more diverse than anyone could have imagined.

The Knight Turret is likely the big boi that shoots the Satellite Beam. Kinda bummed we lost Bishop though. I think "we" are the King because if we die it's Checkmate for the rest of our toys.
