Is ff 14. Too feminine?

[Eloah]

I am not intending this thread to insult people. It is just an issue occurred where my nephews were going to play ff with me noticed the little lady's day event and looked up the outfits in the game. Now they are telling me they are not going to play the game with me because it is too girly. Are we going a bit too far in the aesthetics department of design as of late in this depiction that would cause a lot of male players not to even try this game?

I think a question every one missed is, how old are your nephews? I would assume you are in your mid 20s or older, meaning you nephews could be 13 at best. Some children tend to focus on one aspect of a gender and view anything else as the other gender. Honestly, if you want them to try the game more, just give it time. Young children are usually hesitant to try something that does fit within their "current" world view.

The world is fine as it is, but they could perhaps make an event targetted at boys in addition to the one targetted at girls. If girls get their own holiday, boys should too.

The Little Ladies Day event is actually supposed to be a counterpart to the Valentiones Day event, which in Japan is a "male specific" holiday. Which in real life the actual counterpart is White Day. Though I will say the Valentiones Day event felt more mixed or female based; though how to make it more male based is beyond me, since the event did exactly what the real life counterpart does, having girls give homemade gifts (usually chocolate) to boys.

Maybe something like White Day?

What the game need are NPCs swearing around while drinking beer and watching dancers in the miner guild after a hard work day.

As stated above White Day is actually a girl centric holiday.

And as for the swearing, drinking, and stuff, I think the game does that in equal measures. Though having girls stare at male dancers might be nice, lol.

Some would contend that boys already have all the other days of the year, so why do they need one to be set aside?

And, as a boy, no we do not get all of the other days. Every Country and Culture is different, and most modern ones strive for equality accross the board, without pushing too far in the other direction. And while I like the Little Ladies Day event; though the reward?, Anyway, though I like it I do wish there was an event geared more towards guys. But, then again, I'm not a "stereotypical" guy, so most thing other might find "manly" I'd probably hate. Similar to the Valentiones Day event, I knew it was "supposed" to be geared towards guys, but it had a more feminine feel to me.

Now I will say girls do have more outfit options, which isn't fair.
