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

[Corrderio]

I think it's funny to see people say well in XI lore "Blah Blah Blah" when this is a totally DIFFERENT game. Try doing some homework first >.>. At this point all those kind of posts are good for is post count and thats it LOL. It really shows how much they know about this game.

With how many people keep trying to compare the entire game to XI are you really that surprised?

Read OP before making an ass out of yourself, ty

Ohhh Burrnnn. I think they should pull a wow and add it with an expansion that way everyone win's content and races =D.

This actually wouldn't surprise me at all. Though frankly if they intend to be charging us PER character slot every month, (which no other MMO besides XI did that I know of) then I don't approve of this. We need free character slots and a SET monthly subscription fee (I don't care if the set fee has to be raised a bit to compensate for this, so long as it isn't outrageously high) - with additional races\genders added over time and via expansions.

..Or we need these races\genders added upfront before the billing cycles start. It's not fair at all to expect us to pay through the nose just to have an alternate skin to play as sometimes. (Or worse, delete what we have way-way down the line when they finally DO release them because we can't afford more than a couple of character slots at most.)

I don't mind the idea of maybe deleting what I have now when the billing cycles start, and the slots costing more each - IF that means I have all my options available to me then and there. I also don't mind just waiting this out indefinitely if the slots themselves don't incur additional charges monthly - I'm fine with that. (In fact, they could sell a slot for $10-20 each as a one-time charge to be able to use it, and I'd also be fine with that..) But I DO NOT want to be caught waaaay down the line somewhere and them spring the new races on us without any options available other than to fork over a lot of money (it adds up over time), or sacrifice whatever I've been building up to that point.

I did feel that the character price was a bit high. $3 per char.. @_@ I would prefer even if it was $1 per character. As a role-player I've always had at least 4-6 characters. And of course if the missing genders are added I'll be making new characters.

I'm a big role-player too, and yea.. $3 per slot every month is insane. That's $21 extra tacked onto your bill every single month if you decide to have all eight character slots. That is not reasonable at all. $1 each is a lot more tolerable, and I'd be more comfortable with that - if not still a bit irate.. But ugh, I don't want to get stuck in an ugly position down the road where I have a couple of characters I've worked hard on and find I can't afford to shell out for another slot when a new race\gender comes out.. Choosing whom to kill off for the new option would be very, very painful.

Wrong.

Galka - Tailed race that reincarnated through a unknown system, some speculate the tails cut off and a new body grows to the old tail. Race is genderless.

Roegadyn, Bipedial race with BOTH genders, Males are tall, broad and strong and tend to be pirates, seamen, and fishermen. Women tend to be Fishermen, crafters, or politicians.

Mithra, Males are super rare, guesses put at 1 for every 10,000 Females. Reproduction is selective by society. Males are overly protected by the Females and rarely leave the OZ Continent.

Miqo'te, Males are equal in population density to females but are not as social as the females are. They tend to be solitary and prefer working alone over in groups. (Similar to Lions)


The lores in game from multiple NPC's explain massive differences in both the cultures, appearance, and the presence of Genders for the Miqote and Roegadyn. The only reason they are not in the game was because the development team ran out of time to implement them for launch and were looking into a way to introduce them later.

This thread is asking if since the staff has changed if this is still an option for LATER, and when maybe we might expect it.

Dont you love having to keep repeating yourself? :P

Ya ive been wondering why they decided to charge $3 per extra character slot instead of $1 like it was in FFXI, $3 is just a little too much, $1 is much more reasonable.

I'm not really a fan of the idea at all. How do we explain them suddenly popping out of the woodwork suddenly there were none around before? I don't like the thought of the races being robbed of their uniqueness over aesthetics issues one bit.

The lore actually says nothing at all either way about relative population density, you can't just assume it's 50/50.

Thing is, they're already there. They just haven't been implemented yet. NPC's refer to them in various dialogue, they just haven't been added. This whole thread is just a big question of whether they'll only be added to the game as NPC's, or if we'll get to play as them.

Furthermore, we only have access to five zones in the entire game. We do NOT have access to all the areas in the three capitals yet, and one capital we can't even enter yet (Ishgard) - not to mention there are several regions and towns we know exist but - as said - aren't implemented yet. They actually don't have to make the NPC's "pop-up" at all, there's a TON of empty space even in the current cities that are off-limits at the moment that they could add them to.

Plus why wouldn't you want a world that's at least somewhat dynamic in that NPC's come and go from place to place periodically, as opposed to a completely static world where nothing ever changes?

The very fact it doesn't say it though is the point. There's nothing there currently to prevent them from being playable. Besides, it's not something that's generally stated (in any kind of normal context) when the ratio between genders is even.. It's when there is a stark difference in numbers that these types of things popup in the lore. Otherwise it's just not relevant information..
