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

[Krisan]

Male Miqo'te, Female Roegadyn, and Female Highlanders would be very very awesome. I absolutely 110% want this to happen.

Hopefully we can keep this thread alive and get tons of supporters :3 death to gender barriars!

Umh, the fact that you don't have a race/gender that looks appealing to your (honestly quite picky) tastes, doesn't mean that they should create new ones or new combinations especially for you

This especially with the current status of the game, eyecandy isn't exactly what I'd call a priority.

I'm going to have to politely disagree with you, here. I truly believe that having a character suited to your personal tastes can give the individual the desire and joy needed to continue playing a game. Perhaps it is not a priority for you, but I am on the same page with this thread author. The character creation design for this game (in general) is far too restraining, which STILL has not allowed me to create a character desirable to my tastes. You're calling her picky, but this is common concern for any mmo. As far as male and female counterparts for Miquo'te and Galka (completely forget how to spell the new race-name! :P), I think this is a step in the right direction. In my eyes, I think that customization is part of the fun of an online game. Besides, I think many of us are sick of looking at this game as a XI-concept clone with upgraded graphics. I am perfectly alright with Square Enix pushing away from the concepts of Final Fantasy XI, and branching into other options. I'm not saying your priorities for game improvement are wrong, I'm just saying that what you get out of a game may differ from what someone else finds as high-priority. So in short, I'm all the gender add-ons (plus more customization, if that even becomes and option in the near future)!

Tauren, Draenai, Orc, Troll, and Worgen from WoW would like to have a talk with you. So would the Orcs from Lineage II, and quite a few other games.

Muscular women actually have been very popular in MMO's,

I'm not trying to argue or anything, but I still don't think that the big muscular type women are popular in the gaming world. Yes, you can find them in some games, but when you compare it to how women are usually depicted it is pretty much a joke. I'll give you the Orc and Tauren. But the Troll, Draenai, and Worgen females aren't very muscular. They are rather slender, like is usually done in the world of games. The female dwarves are rather strong and stout individuals, but we both know that they aren't often seen running around in WoW. Yeah, big muscular women are in some games, not denying that. I was just saying that they aren't popular in the gaming world in general. Yes you have the strong slender women. But, you don't often see women of the more hulking variety.

I personally, wouldn't mind to see something like that in this game. But, I highly doubt that it will be implemented in this game.

They should just remove Mithra from the game imo.

Who says Female Highlander or Female Roegadyn are big and muscular? What if they're more akin to something like the She-Hulk? Tall, lithe, strong but very fast. I mean yeah, even the She-Hulk is toned a bit in some of her depictions, but I could honestly see both of these race combinations being very attractive in their own rights.

[Leonroar]

I think it's good to have more options to choose from gender or race for that matter.
If you don't like it, then you don't have to choose.

I personally want the SE to add more voice choices too I mean it's kind of weird all the races have the same voices?
If there are unique voices to choose from for each race, it'd be more realistic and race difference is more highlighted beyond appearance.

[Arcell]

Something like female highland hyur wouldn't necessarily have to be big or buff, but even simply athletic would suffice. There is a difference between muscle definition and being muscular or athletic and being grotesquely muscular. Would it be for everyone? Of course not but having the option is always nice.

I'd be 100% on-board for the additions of the missing gender/race combinations. As many others have stated there's no reason, even in lore, not to. In fact they explicitly mention some of the missing counterparts time and time again.

[Natabant]

ya im also all for adding new races, ever since i first started FFXI i always wondered why there was no male mithra and was pretty annoyed that i couldnt be one, so i just started as a hume and by the time i got lvl 75 i was already tired of it, so id rather not be a hume/hyur again in FFXIV and lalafell is kinda boring too lol. so ya if they added male miqote and female roegadyn i think it would not only add a whole new element to the game, but it would also bring in new people and old people that quit who wanted to see new races.

[Shiro-Koizumi]

i really hope they all become playable and not just npcs it'll just be a giant slap in the face to the people who want to actually play as them.
