Make Viera and Hrothgar non-binary / gender-neutral?

[Awha]

Would be neat, but wouldn't that require a lot more extra since didn't they say making the male buddy outfit was sort of a pain? I highly doubt they would put in the effort to make a non binary race without lifting the gender restrictions on gear. Since they have yet to the latter I doubt they would put in the effort to make a non binary race. Though a neat idea.

Literally all genders are pretend.

Please keep the progressive agenda out of this game.

Due to the way gear works, along with poses and other things, I think its best we just get a male bunny and female hrothgar.

We could also, you know, leave them the genders that they are and hope that their gender counterparts get added at some point. We don't need to push this sorta thing in a video game world, we really don't.

Wow from reading this thread it makes me feel sick thinking of how many people here would harass me or berate me for being nonbinary. People say FFXIV has the best community or something but I'm not seeing that right now. It's unfortunate how viscous people get as soon as someone says "gender".

Sorry OP, your idea sounds nice, but look at the people you're talking to. They want more genders for in-game races but "don't care about your character's gender". Somehow.

I can't tell if OP was serious or not, if so.. This is a terrible idea.

I'm sorry that people don't share the same opinion and view point as you do. Also the community overall is very good. You are entering a heated topic so of course there is going to be some choice words thrown around. I think you are being unnecessarily sensitive about this. People are trying to insert themselves and their view points into the game and onto others. Its selfish overall.

Just play a female roe with bunny ears. Simple.

I do actually think something like this would at least help satiate people. If we had a more realistic-looking pair of bunny ears (think Tamamo or Werewolf headpieces), that might allow people to sort of create the facade of...sort of male-ish Viera (or buff girl bunnies, whatever)?

It ain't fixing the "Genderlock? In my 2019?!" problem, but it's something.

Let people define their character's gender for themselves instead of defining it for them.

With all due respect, there is a reason Japan respects traditional gender roles, and it is not "they aren't progressive enough." It is "don't fix what isn't broken."

If all genders are pretend, then why should we take them this seriously?
