Missing Genders: A request for Male Miqote, Female Highlander, and Female Roegadyn

[Arcell]

I'm not fond of the Female Roegadyn idea. I chose Roegadyn (Galka) because it is sex neutral.

As much as you may not want to think about it, Roegadyn have lots and lots of sex.

Yeah, as has already been said atleast 50 or 60 times to every time someones said "But Roegadyn are Asexual!" they are not. The lore on both the FFXIV website, as well as in game says they have both Male and Female genders and that the females are actually supposed to be quite beautiful as well as fiscally and politically important.

Not to start a flame war (lol pretending there isn't one already), but do people really think there's like... one team working on everything?

Do you believe game development works by doing one thing and then moving on to the next?

There will be character design teams, environment teams, writing teams, translation teams, balance teams, monster design teams, many many 3D modelling teams, character animation teams, monster animation teams, battle effect teams.

There will be at least 2 teams of people in each of these fields, with many others that i forgot to mention.

So tell me, do you think that every one of those teams are currently dedicating themselves to implementing quest/story/raid content? There is always time to work on something pivitol to pre-existing lore, if there is enough demand for it.

This thread proves that people care about the fact that they told us there were female roegadyn, and that they told us there are male miqo'te, and then just never showing an example, playable or not.

It proves there's a want to play those gender options for those races, and diversity is always a massive draw for players in an mmorpg. I would argue that these two gender options are more important than other content, as not only does it offer the players the characters, but it also offers them for npc's, expansion of lore, and expansion of story. Which offers more fundemental aspects to the world that can be utilised in game content.

Tessa, I agree with you 100%. The thing is, we don't know how the teams are structured over there and what they're all working on. If a team was free to work on something like this then more power to them. I think most people here just want an answer and are okay with waiting if need be. If we didn't have to wait though that'd be amazing lol.

[Quatre]

Tessa pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Also, I want content as much as the next person, but being able to play the character I WANT to, Is more important than content for me.

Just because you don't agree, doesn't make it any less valid for me to want it.

I was outraged when i heard they were using the same races, but when i heard male mi'qote and female roegadyn had a high chance of being playable, I was like "Okay! They're doing something differen't!"


Stop being party poopers, We can all get what we want, And if you really -don't- want people to be able to get what they want, when it doesn't even effect you, What in the flying flip is wrong with you?

The entire dev team is working on tightening those graphics on level 3.
