How would identify a female player guy/girl?

[Evelynddra]

I'm sorry but I very very rarely run into females. I don't consider mobile games real gamers which ironically I noticed a lot in that department. I hate the fact more companies have gone this route because it brings in "more" income. I know that's being biased but that how I feel on the matter.

Just sayin' women are nearly half the gamers. Regardless of platform. I mean, I personally don't care for console players. I won't go out of my way to say they're not gamers. Do you play videogames? Yes? BAM GAMER! A lot of the time, you won't even know if they're a women or not. Most women don't go out of their way to specify their gender. You've likely played with many, but you just didn't know it. Unless you always play with a specific group, in which case your experiences are limited and thus unrepresentative of gaming as a whole.

Also, side note. Am I the only one who plays and doesn't just stay at my toons butt? Like I don't think I've ever been in a situation where the ONLY thing there was to look at it my butt. I just never understood the "I don't want to stare at a guy/girls butt all day!". The last thing I usually do is look at my butt. Maybe that's why people seem to never move out of the bad stuff...

None of you are real. You're all just cats pounding on a keyboard, and using ELIZA software when in TS3/Vent.

I'm a female IRL who plays a male Mi'qote. Not just to curb the stupid comments but also because I don't want to spend all my game hours looking at some chick's rear end.

I just wish they'd give me a little something more to stare at on the male characters.

Anyways, I'm a guy but I know plenty of players who are girls just in my FC alone and all of them play female characters.

Dammit! How do they always know?

Funny you say this... I don't know if this guy was joking or not but back in FFXI this new player started and was saying how awesome the AI and interaction was in the game. Another asking him what he meant, and he basically said "Because you're all responding to me like you were real." and someone replied that "You know this is a mmo and we are real people right?"

He thought people were talking to him because it was programmed that way. XD I still - to this day - hope he was joking. XD

I don't lol, but I know people who say that. And there was that one thread at some point where the person was complaining about how their miqo'tes butt was different and flatter in 2.0 vs 1.0 XD

They're onto us....

hahaha well in my opinion i actually dont like guys play as girls cuz i find it weird and wrecks the balance of gender population. for example, say if you're marrying a female character, would u marry them knowing the player as a guy or a girl? to me i know i wudnt with a guy "shudders". so im thinking if there is a way to find out without having to ask them straight up lol.

Worry not for I am a girl that plays male cat boys.... because Kitty kitty mmmm meow mix. The gender balance is saved!

As for that, I would ask. I know to many male IRL players that use cute emoticons and LOL a lot and too many female players IRL that dress their avatars in the sluttiest things they can find. I know men that would cringe at playing anything other than a male toon and females the same way. Then you have people like me who play what ever is aesthetically pleasing to them. The Guys that play girls and the girls that play guys, because quite frankly If I am going to be clocking the hours that I do on this game.... I really don't want to clock them staring and some girls rear, no more than I doubt you want to stare at some guys rear given your marriage comment.

People are people. Its just best to ask.

He probably was...probably... but I'm betting that the MMO experience is still jarring for some FF console players. "That NPC just told me to stop standing in shit. When did square's development team get so foul mouthed?!" If they actually implement the grand company dungeon run thing (you bring 3 NPCs along and solo dungeons), I hope beyond hope that SE includes a "stop standing in shit" comment from the NPC healer. Have the NPCs have three interaction settings "Civil" - "Coarse" - "Crystal Tower Troll"

I didn’t read all the posts so I have no idea if this was mentioned already.

I gave this some sarcastic thought awhile ago and came up with the assumption that all female Roegadyns are in fact females.

In my thinking female Roegadyns are too masculine and butch looking for any male to play. Men want to look at their own feminine booty in a swimsuit.

No man wants to play Brienne of Tarth

yeah I hope he was too...and this was early on right after the game came out in the US so could have been unexpected for them. Also, lol yeah sometimes I see some of the stuff NPC's say in here and I just start cracking up. Like the guy up by the bazzar that talks about the women giving him some kinda disease. Also the other guy behind the building at the end of the bridge on the way to Moraby and they are basically talking about sex lol. Its great some of the stuff you find XD
