The thread about children playable deleted?

lalafell clothing mostly does this already.

Indeed, it does. However, This would mean creating character models, animations, and other outfits (or refitting lala outfits to child models) . It would be a lot of work, and I think that SE just wants to avoid any backlash that might cause children to be presented in an unacceptable manner in their game. They can even explain it with lore by saying the jobs are too complex for a child to comprehend, even one as gifted as the warrior of light.

creating any new race is a lot of work so why even do it at all?

Logical fallacies. Nice.

Still, one new race is easier than making what is essentially several new races. I see where you are coming from Zeirnaton, but this seems like it really wouldn't be worth the effort to me.

so say I'm 13 playing ffxiv why can't I play as a 13 year old kid? the games ESRB rating is for Teens is it not when did this game become mature or Adult Only?

Very, very wrong.

FFXIV's content is Teen. That means the story and quests.

The fact it's online makes it "Not Rated", i.e. actually worse that AO.

If this is all you think of RP you are a sad, sad person.

Nice cherry picking instead of quoting the entire post. Very good job. I think Fox news owes you a job. Look at all the quotes and read up on it instead of reading a few words thinking im insulting the entire community of rpers.

Dunno about worse than AO. Rapelay would like a word with you. *shudders*

you do realize FFXIV isn't the only online game Rated T for Teen right?

[Ayuhra]

context? please?

Honestly, the expression aside I consider Haurchefant himself an answer to why we cannot/should not play children. There are young characters in other games but those games have scripts built around the idea. They would have to change dialogues for certain NPCs who interact with the Warrior of Light like a fellow adult. Haurchefant, for example, considers himself your comrade, an equal in age, and a good personal friend...sometimes more than that.

Very, very wrong. The online content which is considered 'not rated' specifically refers to interactions with other players. This is common sense, as you can't exactly 'rate' the players, since they'll all discuss various topics and not all of which may be suitable for young minds. What IS covered by the ratings system is anything included by the developers in their game.

So, no. it's not worse than AO, since only the playable content is considered in any rating system, not social interactions.
