Women and Armor!

I would question, too, whether we're ACTUALLY talking about a majority, here. Current statistics have the percentage of gamers who are female hovering around 48%.

I acknowlege that female gamers in general may not gravitate toward the same games as male gamers - but the Final Fantasy series has LONG been the types of games that a lot of girl gamers go for (just look at boy-band pretty boys like Cloud or Tidus!). While I haven't seen any statistics for this game in particular, I'd guess that FFXIV would be no exception. Therefore, it would not surprise me to learn that half, or even more than half, of FFXIV's players are female. If that is the case, then it is not a matter of the devs catering to the majority - it's a matter of the devs adhering to the traditional way to do it in the gaming industry.

Saying that games should cater to male fantasies because most gamers are male is becoming more and more doubtful every day.

Well now we all know his hair is clearly overcompensating for the lack of other areas...

Anyhoo. Elgeron made a seemingly good post a few pages back, but I stopped reading at the mention of *barf*Hack*barf*Twilight*barf* to really get the grasp of the post, but it looked promising. LOL this thread got like 3-4 pages after a nights sleep...

I'm confuzzled...
