Dissapointed With The Live Letter

[Alleluia]

Unfortunately male characters are treated like second class citizens in this game at times. It doesn't help that Yoshi-P plays a female character himself and expressed joy and enthusiasm in response to a question about Y'shtola's outfit being added. If only that same enthusiasm could be channeled into adding more facial hair as customisation options. It's been a common request for years now and seeing them take the time to give it to to the Warrior of Light in promotional footage serves to rub salt into wounds.

Oh, they are not. Both genders have things that don't flatter them. Lots of WHM robes on guys look ridiculous and lots of tank armor on gals look ludicrously bulky. Each gender and subrace has hairstyles to fit your look and ones you'll hate.

At least male characters don't have to run around in miniskirts showing off their underwear till at least lvl 5 when they first start the game. I'd also bring up subligers, but I think those mortify both genders equally. But there's no development bias for or against male or female character models in this game.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that. I wasn't solely referring to glamour options, either, I was speaking in regards to a lot of factors and design decisions over the years as well as a dismissive attitude towards questions detailing male customisation options.

That Highlander men cannot have proper eyebrows but the women can is but one example of what I am getting at.

Historically a lot of those who say it isn't an issue gravitate towards playing female characters for the most part, too. Usually either exclusively or at least more often than they play a male character. That isn't a dig at you, specifically, but just something I've observed over the years.

You know me, I think it is an issue so I exclusively play female characters, because it's an issue. Male characters look dumb in this game. Very few cool armor options and stuff too, in my opinion. Most stuff definitely looks better on female. I don't necessarily think this is because they are fully dismissive towards male characters, but more the art direction, or culture.

Like if my dude can't look cool without armor, at least make the armors look really bad butt, and cool as heck!
