Obligitory Pronouns Request

[Xuled]

No thanks. More important matters out there.

The funny thing about this is it is so easy to do, and someone in the community already did this, but it is not allowed because it would break the tos. Wonderful. I am sure this was the one that really helped the Ultimate raider clear along with chat bubbles.

I honestly real talk enjoy people not knowing my gender. I enjoy going by they. Nothing crazy, but how do the characters know I am either a girl or a boy if I dress androgynous. It was always strange to me, but I understand this is how the way the world works. It would be a simple nice change for me personally, not a super must but nice.

Edit: Also oh god did they check when I passed out during the starter city cutscene when I was seeing the battle of carteneau? Mother Miounne can not be trusted, she is also blind I suppose. She and everyone else also say something along the lines of 'you were so heavy'. I always knew lala's were swoll but my partner got a kick out of this line of dialogue.

I'm not gonna lie. If the increased patch time were to amount to "lol we added neo pronouns to FFXIV" instead of making this game sick, I'd be bothered.

I think more customization is always better, but devs who can't put in new beards without making a whole new head model or what have you definitely will not revamp 10 years of dialogue. It's MSQ AND every single other interaction. Not to mention the can of worms it'd open. Would disrespectful villains use your preferred pronoun or would they misgender you, for example? The outcry would be insane if the latter. Genuine question too, not even trying to be funny.

Actual Trans people want to BE their identified gender. Not looking like a dude and be called she. So in a videogame where you can be what you want, you can be a guy or gal. You don't need be one and have people call you the other.

Non-binary subscribers to this game can only play as characters who are referred to as male or female right now, so adding “they/them” pronoun options would be nice for them and doesn’t harm anyone except bigots.

Before any ignorant people reply to me with beliefs that non-binary people apparently don’t exist, please don’t bother posting even more transphobic nonsense; I’m neither interested in reading nor responding to it.

Sure I'm identifying as a penguin on Tuesdays but on Fridays I want npc's to call me a Hawk. Such an important feature /s

Considering there are potentially an infinite amount, based on people I've talked to and interviews I've watched, where is the line? Someone is being excluded no matter what.

Also this is mostly a western thing. I don't recall too many Japanese people caring about this. And considering the monumental amount of work it would be to do something like this at this point, I don't see it happening.

Neopronouns are the blackface of lgbtq world. Do not co opt the struggle of trans people just to make yourself more unique to your boring self. F all that. Take it to that cesspool of despair known as twitter.

Im fine with they/them. I know non binary is real, but the lgbtq community need to take a stand against neopronouns and xenogender bullshit. Its co opting the struggle just to make boring fake people feel less boring while being safe from the social issues that face actual trans or queer people. Its transphobic in itself.

Needlesstosay I dont want it in the game.

I didnt read the entire thread so if thats not what you are refering too then nevermind but becaide this game is popular on twitter and thats where this crap comes from im weighing in. So many trans people ive meet that are disgusted with this neo pronouns BS.

Jesus people in these forums hate minorities like crazy. Among understandable opinions there's a lot of hateful jabs that just get tolerated for some reason.

I mentioned I was a black woman in a thread that asked for ethnic hairstyles and people-got-heated. I was told I was attempting to be ‘sassy’, referred to as ‘obnoxious’ and was told it was odd I’d be proud to be who I was. So it’s not surprising. * shrug *

As for the request. I doubt it’ll come to pass. While not an unreasonable option, It’ll require more voice work and reworking of a vast amount of text. And different countries have different levels of acceptance regarding this.
