Blatantly gender biased AF gear contributes but it’s not the entirety of the problem I have with healers never feeling like the main character

Now I’m not going to explicitly go into “gender stereotypes” but it’s hard to ignore that WHM feels excessively feminine (I’m not saying that heroes can’t be female just that my WOL is male; a gay male; but male nonetheless) but the biggest problem is just that our attacks feel so unimpactful and we come off as a joke

Like a walk into this important battle with a world ending threat and I proceed to glare at the boss for 20 minutes which hit like wet farts while the tanks and the DPS are throwing midares and blade combos and fire 4’s at the same boss, even our drawn weapon stance feels like a bad joke (SGE Is actually fine on this front)

The aesthetic design and the impact of the modern healer kits doesn’t make you feel like you are the WOL; the strongest person on the three great continents and arguably the entire planet of etheryis
