Some possibly controversial thoughts about a dancer addition

Haha I KNEW this discussion would end down this path - i.e. talking about alleged sexism. It always happens.

Look, personally I understand all the gender equality thing and all that stuff - and while I do agree that the gender-binary culture that humanity developed in the past millennia or so is intrinsic to humanity, it is nonetheless natural for humans, at least at this point of time and space.

"Then why shouldn't we fight to change it?" you may ask - and indeed you can - but I fear this battle shall not be won on this battlefield, a Japanese MMO. This is not the place to fight that battle. This is a game made by a company who needs to make money. In addition to that, it is a Japanese company. I am sure you understand what this means.

Come on. We have Catgirls. Dragongirls. Idols. Maid outfits. Miqo'te dancers in Ul'dah and Miqo'te prostitutes in Costa del Sol. This game SCREAMS fan service albeit not in a TERA or Blade & Soul way - as I said earlier, fan service here is for a more refined palate. Yet, it is fan service nonetheless.

This being said, SE will NEVER develop a job and gate it behind a gender. That makes zero sense and will break the armory system. As for dances, we can't know - but my 2 cents is that they WILL have different (maybe only slightly) movements whether you are male or female, and a falafel or a roe, as as you mentioned for the Sundrop Dance, there are precedents.

I still believe that a Chemist is more likely to happen, tho.
