Thats nothing, I'm 22 and I was getting on to a Airplane to go back to my last semester of my Computer Science Program. I wanted a seat in the exit row where the flight attendant was standing and she was like "I don't know if you can sit here, how old are you?", when I replied 22 the look on her face was priceless.
(You only have to be 15 to sit in a emergency exit row.)

Pardon my asking, but do you have lyrium tatoos, pointy ears, and a brooding personality? =)

It's not that I have a ~problem~ with yaoi or cat boys, it's the attitude. The reason most people stay away from the idea of manthra is because of the ~*LOLOL ANIME FANGURLZ*~ who pretty much just want to fetish...ize them/ make them make out with each other.

The reason I want the missing genders is equality and to play something that suits my personality better, not so I can stare at my model for hours and write terrible slash fan fiction about him.

"Eorzeapedia: There is a growing group in the community who would like to see the implementation of Male Miqo’te and Female Roegadyn in FINAL FANTASY XIV. Are there plans to make these yet to be seen gender and race combination playable? If not, what made you decide not to work them into FINAL FANTASY XIV.

Tanaka: Actually all of the design is ready, so we were planning to implement them into the game, however during the development process we had to put priority with what to put into the game, and due to the man power issue we had to give up implementing them into the beginning of the game. You will see them as an NPC, but it is not a race that you can choose at the beginning. We’ll see how it goes in the future, it might be a possiblity. We are still looking into it."

Here's the link to the interview: http://www.eorzeapedia.com/2010/06/1...yasu-kurosawa/

There's another interview from Gamescon or something where they mention the missing genders again but i can't find it :/

I get what you mean, i want it for the same basic reasons , just my personal preferance is the effeminate looking types.. not acting or talking with a creepy lisp like that guy dancer from the Wotg XD;

When I picture the missing genders I really don't see male miqote being catboys, but bigger muscular feral big cat lloking tyhpes. I saw the concept art of course, just saying what I pictured. Female roeg's I picture as smaller, thin yet muscular beautiful colorful women with braided hair (sea faring women) and I picture female highlanders looking like robust fantasy viking women type, not necessarily huge but thicker muscular women

See I always thought the female Roegadyn would be the thicker, maybe slightly muscular type while the Highland Hyur would be more athletic. We'll never know until we see them though lol.

I can't stand that. It's perfectly fine for male players to get their cat girl (because that's not associated with hentai at all *cough*) and roleplay a lesbian sex kitten, but when it comes to female players wanting a cute male character to play you get the "LOL Yaoi manthra" type comments. I just can't stand the fact that they have a race that's pure fan service for male players and they go and gender lock it as if female players don't exist. One of the reasons I quit a while back was seeing so many Miqo'te everywhere (I originally played one myself). If there was a male I really think it would offset the ridiculous amount of female Miqo'te.

So I'm assuming you like to cough up hairballs and piss everywhere then? ;)

Seriously, just let the ladies have their cake. I'd be lying if I said I didn't pick my current elezen lady 'cause she's a hotty.

...Of course were the option open to be a male miqo'te and assuming they resembled the concept art, I'd jump at the chance to be one.

I meant a more masculine persona... but okay. >_>

Completely agreed. I really hate this imbalance and unfairness. If males can have their fan service race, I want women to have theirs.

... Just not in the creepy yaoi fangirlish way.

Blizzard have male blood elves which are femboyish. And that is a popular choice on the servers I was on. Even my ex had one..... >.> well before i played WoW... so ya....

I know. I edited it pretty hard to look like a possible Female Roegadyn.

Well, isn't it pretty much the same with catgirls and guys wanting to play them? You shouldn't fixate on the yaoi part too much. Else we could also start debating about yuri catgirls :P

As for me, I would play a female miqo'te (I actually did so in beta) but this time I wanted to go for a male character. And I <3 cats no matter the gender, so playing a male miqo'te could be something new and interesting. Oh yeah, I'm male.

meh square probably figures Roe's are for girls fantasies and maqote's are for guys. Really, burly bara men > skiny yaoi boys

only thing square forgot was that only guys like burly bara men, and girls like those skinny yaoi boys for whatever reason that is beyond my comprehension -_-

You did a good job, It's a good interpetation of what they might look like.

It's a very good picture. Cute. I would be happy if they looked like that. I'd be happy no matter what they looked like though. :3

Alty needs more man candy. Bring out the cat men!

Both are equally creepy.

We'll never get a "final answer" until they're implemented. I mean, do we really expect "final answers" for the content of expansion pack IV in 2017? Of course not. They can only tell us what they're working on now, and just because more genders may not be currently in the works doesn't mean they can't say in a year or two, "Hey, you know what? Let's add catboys."

There's tons of examples of MMO developers initially denying the implementation of something, only for a couple expansions and a few years later to go ahead and add it. For example, Blizzard insisted for years that they had no plans and were not considering implementing old world flying, and lo and behold, Cataclysm brought us old world flying.

Just not sure why we have an 88 page topic begging for "final" answers for a question that simply can't be answered with finality. I've got hope for more genders and character creation options myself, but it's a little absurd to ask for the final answer, when the best they can do is, "We have plans to/We don't have plans to at this time."

I think as time goes on the likeliness of them adding the missing genders will decrease due to lore.
The game is new right now. In a year it'll still be fairly new. But them showing up suddenly after 4 years would be odd, and very unlikely in my opinion. "Why have they been missing so long?" SE might add lore to give us a reason why they don't show up.
I think putting them in this year or next would be best. While the game is still new - while it makes sense.
As it is, it feels like we're in beta right now.
Perhaps the first big expansion could add them if they have time.

All we want IS the best they can do. All we want to know is if they have plans to add them, and more specifically if they have plans to add them as playable. It's a simple yes or no.
No one's really picky on when it happens.

Especially since the development team and producer/director changed, their answer may very well have changed or become less vague.

I found that interview where they talk about the missing gender's character models being done, enjoy :)
http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/1598-...omichi-tanaka/

yeah, but that just says the designs are done, not the models. having artists renders / characteristic details finished and actual 3d models completed are two different things.

oh, I do wants them but 3d models + textures + animations will take a while.

it would be nice for SE to come out and say "yes we will" so we know that they are actually working on it instead of just developing them in stealth mode, if/when the do start working on them ... I kind of think that we will actually get them this time around, but still: keep bumping this baby till SE caves.

*edit*

... and we all have our criteria for what constitutes a catboy:

Oh ya i completely agree with you, who knows what stage in the development process they actually got to, hopefully pretty far :P. I just wanted to add another interview that mentioned the missing genders to the pile :).

I don't see them using that style. SE doesn't do Dimorphism much in any of their games. And that would be way too Dimorphic.

Well, many will agree that Roegadyns will probably be quite dimorphic. So to say, a female roegadyn will still be "bulky", but in a different way from her male counterpart.

I want a Male Miqote! (I want to play as him, but not to have him))

That's not a cat boy. That's a boy cat. Big difference.
