Missing Genders: A request for Male Miqote, Female Highlander, and Female Roegadyn

I highly doubt it. And that isn't a valid enough reason to force an arbitrary unlock mechanic on something that should be available at gamestart for all users.

If XIV shares the same lore stand on male miqotes as did XI on mithras, then I'd say it should be regulated in some way or another...

also, currently there is no reason to have more than one character other than aesthetics since there is no stats difference and jobs can be changed whenever. Honestly, I'd level my char again and level the same jobs again, and get the same nm drops again, and get fairly pissed.

On that note, it'd be nice if SE would let us mail our equipment to alternate characters. rare ex equip I mean.

But it doesn't, they're vaguely related only in some slight appearance similarities. They're not actually related in any way shape or form.

Honestly I can really see them putting in an option to allow us to change race/gender, probably with $/crysta. SE has warmed up to the micro-transaction scene and I think even they realize they could make a quick buck off of this. And I'd honestly be completely okay with that, anything to have to avoid re-rolling my character. Not giving us such an option would be incredibly unfair to all the loyal players who kept the game alive before PS3 launch.

This would leave us with a bunch of female named male miqotes... unless they also gave you the option to rename. Which I highly doubt. Although it would be pretty assholeish of SE not to do this after we stood up for them with a botched release >_>

Hmm, I had not thought about the name issue in case race/gender swaps are allowed when the new ones come out, that is a good point. A lot of the Mi'qotes I meet have unisex sounding names, but I see just as many with decidedly feminine names. And goodness knows that the first names I've chosen for my girl chatacters would seem quite silly on any male character -- if I wanted to swap to a male mi'qote, I sure wouldn't want one named Lily or Holly. xD So it'd be nice if SE at least let us change the first name along with the potential race/gender swap, but I won't hold my breath.

Though come to think of it, I don't see how a race/gender change could be offered without having to practically remake the character anyway, since all the races/genders have different character creation options. May as well just allow a total remake including the name while they're at it lol.

Might as well, and why not? We're already going to be back in the character generator. Though not everyone who wanted Male Miqote went Female Miqote. I know a lot of guys who picked Male Midland Hyur and would love to switch to Male Miqote.
