Indeed, it does. However, This would mean creating character models, animations, and other outfits (or refitting lala outfits to child models) . It would be a lot of work, and I think that SE just wants to avoid any backlash that might cause children to be presented in an unacceptable manner in their game. They can even explain it with lore by saying the jobs are too complex for a child to comprehend, even one as gifted as the warrior of light.

creating any new race is a lot of work so why even do it at all?

Logical fallacies. Nice.

Still, one new race is easier than making what is essentially several new races. I see where you are coming from Zeirnaton, but this seems like it really wouldn't be worth the effort to me.

Very, very wrong.

FFXIV's content is Teen. That means the story and quests.

The fact it's online makes it "Not Rated", i.e. actually worse that AO.

Nice cherry picking instead of quoting the entire post. Very good job. I think Fox news owes you a job. Look at all the quotes and read up on it instead of reading a few words thinking im insulting the entire community of rpers.

Dunno about worse than AO. Rapelay would like a word with you. *shudders*

Honestly, the expression aside I consider Haurchefant himself an answer to why we cannot/should not play children. There are young characters in other games but those games have scripts built around the idea. They would have to change dialogues for certain NPCs who interact with the Warrior of Light like a fellow adult. Haurchefant, for example, considers himself your comrade, an equal in age, and a good personal friend...sometimes more than that.

Very, very wrong. The online content which is considered 'not rated' specifically refers to interactions with other players. This is common sense, as you can't exactly 'rate' the players, since they'll all discuss various topics and not all of which may be suitable for young minds. What IS covered by the ratings system is anything included by the developers in their game.

So, no. it's not worse than AO, since only the playable content is considered in any rating system, not social interactions.

Uhh... you might want to read and think before posting.

The content of FFXIV, i.e. the story, quests, and design, are rated Teen.

The online content, which is essentially everything else (being online, interacting with other players, etc) is "Not Rated", which is actually considered worse than Adult Only, because at least AO has been rated. It's like credit ratings... it's better to have bad credit than no credit.

Do you have reading issues, or just like to troll? That's what I said.

If there were children playable in the game, there would be disgusting people that would publicly be doing lewd and disgusting things with them, either visually or textually or both.

seeing how the mods took down the last thread, it doesn't seem to be the way they want to take this game.

Thank you. That was the point I was tying to make with my post, but apparently, it didn't get across.

And as an off topic to the "SE moderation is in the same vein as Nexon NA." post, there was a lot of mess going on with Nexon that had a lot more to do than just the GM's being off 1-2 days. >.>
The worst I've seen of SE that can be considered comparable to Nexon in moderation is the gold seller calls and some trolling in shout.
