[Fun] Why do you use a male character?

:cool: There just has to be balance, you know. The answer is obviously damn sexy. So why do you play male char?

Because this is the first FF where I can play a character who doesnt look like a 12yo... I'm also gay so add the ass over time factor.

This is quite possibly the greatest response I could've asked for. The man speaks the truth.

Highlander Hyurs have a perfect a...asset for spanking and groping!

Because I want to be the man casting holy with myth pants only, and cancel it as soon as I finish 1 spin.
Rinse and Repeat

Because I'm not male.
xDDD Sorry had to do it.

I've got a couple male alts that I play occasionally. I made them for rp variety and just have lots of fun playing as them. Especially my Hellsguard... <3 My Elezen tho... omg he looks bad ass! :o

Echoing the ass-over-time factor.

Because as much as playing female characters is great in single-player games, here it just means that somewhere, eventually, you'll get hit on.

They show more skin than the ladies.

Everything this guy said!

I think my character represents me.

If people like to roleplay in different sex than their own, that is their choice.

I get to be a male mithra, you have no idea how long I've waited for that. ._.

Once, during a fate grind, a little naked Lalafell came up to me and told me I was sexy. Somehow it's just not as creepy when you're a dude character haha. Now when we see each other around we dance and speak broken English & Japanese :D In our underpants.

Yeah, that's how you end up on To Catch a Predator. Their innocence can be deceiving.

Because....... :rolleyes:

Short answer: Because catboys are hot.

Long answer: I find that I don't get harassed as often on a male character as I do female. My habit of playing male characters started in the first MMO I played, though in there, my main character was still a female, but I had an alt who was male. When I moved to Aion, I again made a female as my main, but I made plenty of male characters too since Aion had such a wonderful character creation. After Aion, I moved on to TERA. This was the first major game I'd played where my main was a male character. This was partly due to the fact male elves in TERA are gorgeous, but also the fact I didn't like a lot of the overly sexualized armor on females at first (plus I figured if there's one game I'll be sure to get harassed in by gross perverts, it'd be TERA). I have about an equal number of male and female characters on there now, but my main is still my male elf priest.

When it comes to ARR, I initially wasn't interested in it (because I wasn't in a position to play it), but I became more and more interested in it the more I saw male miqo'te on Tumblr. I apparently have a thing for catboys or something lol. So, when I did finally get the game and start playing, my main was, of course, a male miqo'te. And despite having a few more catboys on my character roster, I still love my main the most. Plus, again, less harassment as a male character.

TL;DR I play male characters both because they look good and I like having some eyecandy to look at while I play, and because they offer a sort of "protection" against a lot of internet creepers who would normally harass a female character just because the character is female.

The original reason and basically the core of my reason, is simply because I'm a guy.

And later on it evolved on it displaying/showing how I try to act in real life and well I can't do that if i'm a female character ^.^;;

Because it's cool.

Because it's an MMORPG and I play it as such. I'm male in real life and role playing as this heroic adventurer feels natural. And I'm not even talking about role playing with other PCs. I'm more referring to the story elements. I'd rather be able to relate to my avatar than to have something pretty to look at.


I get that some people play the game like they'd play Tomb Raider or something similar. They don't put themselves in the shoes of the protagonist directly, but personally, I'd rather think of my character as being an extension of myself.

This is really something... Moar pics, I mean, more reasons pl0x!

Male characters represents me I feel :P

Because i'm cute

Because I'm a dude.

<se.7> *Ba-dum-tish*

I play a female, but this is the first MMO where I honestly wish I had started off Male. I'd have made a Male Miqo'te or Midlander, but the only reason I didn't bother is because i was too far ahead on my main and nothing carries over.


Im very happy Square made male characters that aren't so retarded looking on this game. The "pretty boy" model doesn't look so camp japanese shonen, and the "older guy" models don't all look like ugly villian rejects.

Because is so cute and sexy! I mean come on! How can you say no to a face like this?

I sort of created Marik to be myself inside this game, so he's sort of designed after me, which I usually do in most games (unless there isn't any human/elf types), plus all male characters are uber sexy/cute in this game!!!

Because...

The passion...

One of the few MMOs I feel like I can actually have some man-candy, instead of hulked out roidrage dudes. TERA was good for that, too. :3

Couldn't have put it better myself!

I mentioned in prior thread, (female playing a male char) but I made mine because I am simply one hell of a black butler fangirl :)

Because I'm male?

Mentioned this in a different thread, but as a female gamer, I want some nice elvaan eye candy if I'm going to be spending hundreds of hours on a game... <3

Because I always play the big strongman dudes so I can feel totally heroic when I play, plus it draws a lot of attention to me since male Roegadyn is pretty rare and I am a total attention whore

Male hyurs / miqo'tes are hot, but male Lalafells are perfect

"If I'm going to be looking at an ass all the time it might as well be a hot one."

I have a female char too. She's only a cul though so she can make me sammitches.

My reason too.

Playing male midlander because this game actually has nice looks/styles and armour design for males (well, most of the time).
That's all really, I'm happy with his role ingame ^^ (no need to pretend to be a super duper kawaii miqo'te girl).

I assume most who roll males just really wants a harem of women....I mean there are a ton of catgirls around.

I enjoy playing very powerful and evil looking characters, I couldn't pull that off with any of the female classes. MALE HYRUN HIGHLANDER BABY.

Not to mention I don't feel right playing a gender that isn't my real gender..

Because I am a man and a bald woman just isn't my cup of tea.
