[Fun] Why do you use a female character?

Well, it is a funny fact of the MMORPG after all!

At least in my case, when I see female chars in game, I rarely rarely think the player behind is a girl. Thing that doesn't happen at all with the females players that have male char, they are ninja! Totally unnoticed... Nobody would suspect it after all!

I always roll female characters when given the option. Why? Easy on the eyes.

i was originally a male mithra (yes I said mithra LOL) xD use my Fantasia cause I was Bored. kinda like the way my character is now.

Like someone posted before, I don't really mind being honest about this.
The reason I play a female character in-game is because video games are a form of escapism for me.
While I'm totally fine with being a guy irl, I'm not all that into gender roles society has created, so in MMOs I like the explore the more feminine side of myself.

I mean, I usually spend quite some time just dressing my character up in the right clothes (can't wait for the vanity system to come out, I'll have so much fun with that) even though I'm not all that into fashion irl at all. Though I do joke 'bout being fabulous to piss off my best friend :3

I can relate to this as well.

I'm a female playing a female character because I want to relate to my character as an extension of myself playing the game.

I have thought a bit about rolling a male character but sometimes don't feel I could express myself fully as a male. That and they are smelly :P

Who knows, maybe karma will reroll me as a male in the next life XD.

Seems like the "easy on the eyes" / "if I'm going to be staring at someone's backside for hundreds of hours it should be appealing" reasons people have for rolling female characters is much the same reason why I (a female) like rolling male characters. I rolled a male elvaan in FFXI and did so again in FFXIV. Figured if I was going to be watching this character all day, why not make it something I would enjoy looking at? :)

I like potatoes (this is why I play female lalafell)


In reality male characters typically have a stiffness to them. While the little races like lalafell seem whimsical and are funny to play as. The female lalafell emotes are also pretty hilarious/cute.

Cuz I hate the male character designs, and the gear always looks better on females.

I play because I am a female and I love how cute female miqo'tes are! :)
