Also guys talking about female empowerment is kinda cringy imo but that's just me... lol

I don't mind if only more guys would think along those lines we might have had a female protag for the new Star Wars game. would have certainly gotten me more jazzed about buying it.

Dude's been baiting people since his genocide is ok rant last night. Prob best to leave him be.

Yeah I had a feeling this was some sort of trolling.

This reeks of a virtue signal.

I see WoL as a female. Not because gurrrl power or anything like that. Instances like Magnai, the Buduga, Ardbert and a female WoL being who they are, I think it is very fitting. It flows, to me, better than a male derplander. And from entirely personal views, it makes relationships go on one heck of a balancing act.

I lean more towards female roe because biggest chick in the party as the sword and shield, mountain of strength and makes people's larger than life expectations seem rather funny when we are large, just not as big as they thought. Also momma WoL gotta protect her kids.

What an ignorant post. Stating something that you disagree with is bait?

If you think this is bait then report and move on, doll.

Oh don't worry, I'm sure multiple people already have. Not only is it off topic, but it's obviously trolling and extremely inappropriate.

This totally biassed but playing a midlander thru MSQ feels soo much right than playing my lala. So i fantasia whenever msq comes

By the way, I find it appalling that you would assume something so depraved.

Reported.

Yeah you go ahead and report me it will just get your sick comments in front of the mod’s eyes sooner. Like others have said, they are 16.

It obviously isn't and your sense of judgment is murkier than sewer water.

play as you like, you are the hero of your story after all.

just saw my friend play the final scene (before and after the final battle) and he was using his female small potato and it was so absurd both of us was laughing like a maniac lol

I just checked Encyclopedia Eorzea, it flat out says she is 16...

I don't think the Warrior of Light leans towards either sex. I played through the main stories as a mature looking Midlander man and it felt completely natural to me.

My female Miqo'te seems like a great fit for the WoL. I think Square has probably just done a great job fitting everyone in.

try the last scene with the frog suit.

now thats epic

I don't recall that website being a official canonized source of reference.

Again, they aren't 16.

They did do a really good job of making whatever sort of character you're playing feel just right. Well done, SE!

They don't really treat you as either gender, just when saying "He" or "She" really... And race shows up even less.
The script for the MSQ doesn't care what you're playing as.

Although the canon technically still is a Male Midlander they don't expect you to be one necessarily.

Not to be that person, but they are actually 18 as of now, they were 16 at the start of ARR and some time has passes. However, this changes NOTHING as Elezen are as you said slower to mature so they still definitely qualifies in the "NOPE! You are a creep" category.

I was trying to tell them.

/shrug

Better someone else than me.

That will happen naturally with a character you've grown attached to. If you ever catch me talking about Mass Effect, I always refer to Shepard with female pronouns because that's how I played. From my perspective, the hero of the Citadel is female. Likewise, FFXIV prompts a similar reaction, albeit a little else set in stone if only because it's not a single player game.

i mean, when i play HW i try to stay as DRG, at the start of HW i was monk then about mid story i change to DRG, then at final fight i try to glamour myself to set the right mood for the final battle.

its all just your personal liking i guess

Physically speaking they're still 16. It seems insane, but I'm gonna be that person back and remind you of the Great Eorzean Time Bubble that's vexed lore nerds for the past six years: no official amount of time, let alone years, can be determined to have passed since ARR. Koji hasn't even confirmed it's been more than a year. Again, seems insane, but that's the official stance on it.

Spiritually speaking, sure they're 18 now since they've been on the First for two years give or take. Physically though, still 16.

I kinda feel the opposite, now that I've played the game from "both sides" so to speak.

Don't get me wrong, it's great that you CAN play a female WoL. But having played as a fem Miqote/Au Ra (changed in HW) and then now playing as a Hrothgar, I actually feel my Hrothgar fits the "role" of WoL better than my Au Ra ever did. There was just something "off" about it. I think the size most of all (also the reason I can't play Lalas).

But regardless, it's good the game invokes those kind of feelings in people.

Physically the twins are 17.

They were 16 going into Shadowbringers (due to the non-passage of time from ARR to ShB) and they were on the First for about a year before we showed up.

Their physical bodies are still on the Source. Hence why I differentiated their spirit age (because their spirit is on the First where years have passed) and their physical age (where no prove-able time has passed)

Their ORIGINAL physical bodies. They have physical bodies on the First too.

Yes. Their original, actual physical bodies, which is what I said and why I differentiated.

But actually if we're gonna be pedantic about it, their physical bodies appear seventeen on the First, but are actually two.

All you said was "physically speaking"... which isn't specific enough for someone to automatically assume you're talking about their bodies on the Source, because they have a physical form on the First as well.

Also, you said "spiritually speaking" they're 18 because you thought they had been on the First for 2 years, when it's only been 1 year.

"If we're going to be pedantic about it."

Why would I make the differentiation between their physical and spiritual age, unless there were some time distortion brought about that would cause the two to be different? Like, say, their spirits being whisked away to an entirely new world while their bodies on the Source remained behind? Maybe it would be because, physically, they are still 16: their bodies remain in the Eorzean Time Bubble with no prove-able quantitative aging*, although their spirits are still gaining new knowledge and experiences. You saying "Physically they're 17" falls into the selfsame trap, by the way: it's not specific enough because there is dissonance.

Thank you for the correction regarding how long they've been on the First.

So physically, they are both one year old and sixteen years old. Spiritually they are about seventeen.

Since we're being pedantic about it.

*edited because they are aging even if second by second

The funniest part about playing a female char is the npc dialogue.

"I haven't laid eyes on a woman in weeks!

erm, I mean, well, besides yourself of course, miss."
