Wrong pronoun in quest text

[Iscah]

However, I'm still upset about this issue happening in the first place. This sort of thing is way too common in game development, where "male" seems to be regarded as the default, look no further than the Derplander in trailers to see that this is the case. Which means female players and player characters are often regarded as less important. FF14 is definitely not the worst offender of this, but I really wanted to believe that the devs were better than that.

I thought it was reversed and both genders were getting the wrong pronoun, as in post #6? Or was it different for quest vs emote issues?

In any case I don't see it as something to get upset over. Even if there's no bias, putting in a single gender pronoun as a placeholder for going back and adding a variable later is going to be 50/50 which gender they pick. Insisting it should always be female to begin with isn't any better than always male.

There are battles to pick for equal representation, but I don't think this is one of them.
