LOL I translated the post and you can tell what the thread is about..Though it's not the best, I also put in the link to the original post. Hopefully it will spark the discussion with the Japanese players. We are currently at 21,973 views! I remember when it was around 17k.

Heavy is the thread that wears a crown?

I think the crown is a marker for community/dev team responses within any given thread.

That this thread garnered so many views and dev attention is infuriating to me. The various rationalizations about why implementing the "missing genders" is so important still don't change that this addition won't make the game more entertaining, but will consume and require extra resources and effort from the devs.

No matter how minor the edits to character skeletons and whatnot they have to make, it's still a major addition to implement something like this.

I'm not saying it is wrong, as i wouldn't mind seeing them myself, but there is always time to make this addition later and allow current players the chance to have their items, experience and skills to be transferred to a new character.

If the name is an issue you could allow "changed" players to display their old name in brackets under their new name for a while.

Everquest,(frogloks)
World of warcraft, (draenei)
DFO,(female gunner)
And I'm sure there's more

All of these introduced new races without the need to transfer skills, the endgame crowd ate em up. If it keeps the players playing, the subscription based game wins.

A wall is built with small bricks. There is no such things as a "major addition", what you feel is one may just be a little for another. However, what is certain is, with every change brought to the game, we are heading somewhere, hopefully a better places, a better game.
Also, no one said it should be added to the game tomorrow, but having a confirmation it is added to the queue of changes truly planned is what we are looking for.

As long as that's true there is no problem.

Been saying it every time someone complained.

about the character fees
1 character = 2 retainers + use of every class so the 3 is justified
retainers are pretty much ffxi mules. which is why they $1

unlike most games ffxi/ffxiv let 1 character be all classes. Where in most flat fee mmo you are stuck to 1 class. so making character would be free to have 1of every class.
