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

[Nabiri]

I see, I am just curious what those supporters would do. I am all for implimenting these new races but I don't think I would be able to delete my current character seeings as I feel like I have accomplished so much already, it would be heartbreaking to go back to the beginning. If there was perhaps some event that allowed you the choise to change your character race/looks only once then I would deffinatly do it, but it is too late for me now :c

I hope they have some sort of one time race/gender change if they add these. So people don't feel pressured to delete.

I would probably start over from scratch so I can experiance the story from start to finish as the one character to rule them all.

I'd have no problem killing off one character in favor of making a new one were new races introduced. Hell I've restarted FFXI 4 times already, and as it stands I'm taking an extended break from FFXIV anyway, so no biggie for me.

Holy mama this thread has gotten a lot of posts.. also I like these new little crowns on the theads that the devs are looking at.. it's fun

I have a question for all of you though who support the male miqote, female highlander and female roegadyn to be implimented in the game. Would you delete and remake your character to choose one of these races even if it means starting over from scratch? It sort of seems like it is too late already...

I would definately restart from scratch if they added the missing genders, like Cairdeas said id want to experience the whole game/story from start to finish with my main character.

Oh wow it seems like all of you are perfectly fine deleting your main characters. I hope they consider those who don't want to delete their characters if they add these new races D:

I'd start over, as long as someone helped me move all of my gear... lol

I'd probably start from another nation, too. Might go back to Limsa, Ul'Dah's story is kind of lacking even though I like the city design the most. =\

Eh. Source..?

Everyone's seen this already (where "designs" were mentioned):

"Eorzeapedia: There is a growing group in the community who would like to see the implementation of Male Miqo’te and Female Roegadyn in FINAL FANTASY XIV. Are there plans to make these yet to be seen gender and race combination playable? If not, what made you decide not to work them into FINAL FANTASY XIV.

Tanaka: Actually all of the design is ready, so we were planning to implement them into the game, however during the development process we had to put priority with what to put into the game, and due to the man power issue we had to give up implementing them into the beginning of the game. You will see them as an NPC, but it is not a race that you can choose at the beginning. We’ll see how it goes in the future, it might be a possiblity. We are still looking into it."

But here is the one where "models" were mentioned (Coombah had posted a part of this interview on page 36.):

"Q9: Are there any plans to add female Roegadyn and male Miqo'te?

A: Well, the character model designs are finished... But further details regarding their implementation have yet to be decided."

- http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/1598-...michi-tanaka//

I wouldn't get all worked up over it as with any interview there is always a chance of mistranslation or someone changing words or assuming things. So it's up to to decide for yourself if you believe the source is reliable.

Yeah, it can be a problem leaving translations unreliable especially if the interview is rushed.

[Natabant]

Ya lets just hope that they were accurate translations, that way SE wouldnt have to do too much extra work to implement the missing genders.
