THE GENDER LOCK IS NOT A BIG DEAL, instead.... update old races

[kijukitten]

on stage yoshida mentioned how the work load was one of the reasons for gender locking the races, making a male and female to each is about the same amount of effort as making a whole new race honestly. However. the fact is that the old races models are much much inferior, along with customization options. it honestly feels like a deterrent to playing the old races. they look way worse, and have super limited options in comparison.

This is the one thread I've agreed with all night.

[Freyt]

I agree and disagree.


If you don't want to add both genders, then just don't add it at all and focus on updating options for older races. If you're not going to add options for old races, then a new race is fine but don't gender lock it.

[Ladon]

Completely agreed.

I want them to create MORE unique animations, poses, stances etc that are unique to each race AND gender. I want to see a female Miqo'te battle moveset to look completely different from a male Elezen. Give the races and genders some actual defining features beyond a static model. The way the homogenized the animations in ARR was a total shortcut they took to get the game out. Since then they have done a better job at giving the newly introduced races specific characteristics outside of battle. They need to extend this into battle animations as well as rework the original races and give them some unique animation characteristics.

Not a big deal TO YOU. You can't tell other people how to feel.

[DarkDaifuku]

A little off topic, but I think they really need to rework the model in some old glamours...like Quaintrelle's Ruffled Skirt.
It makes you look like Ovni when you riding Ozma mount...

You saying you don't like how the ARR races look like CPR dummies under low lighting or during intense rain like in Pool Tribute?

Granted Au Ra also look like garbage in that instance, but oof do the older races look worse.

Give us the fat miqo'tes.

[RitsukoSonoda]

Honestly yes. I would like more customization options for the races we already have

[Fredco191]

Give us the fat miqo'tes.

Let us be fat versions of every race!
