..... i'm a girl... and kind of seriously offended by your posts.

How hard is it to understand everything else uses these methods to sell so it makes -sense- that if this game can't sell itself on gameplay it is a -marketing tactic- that will result in a -rise in population-.

Want a neurological perspective?
Everyone likes cute things!
why? Because we are genetically programmed to find certain features such as big eyes cute so that we take care of children. So putting cute things, which we are genetically programmed to find cute, into a game, can't really go wrong.

Even FFXI had cute stuff and pretty gear.
You could raise your own chocobo from a baby
you had an adorable moogle in your mog house
you had opaline body, legs, gloves, boots, and they were VERY popular with both male and female players.
you had tonberrys
etc.

And look at all the "cute" animes that are super popular. There is a reason WHY THEY ARE POPULAR. Not because all the girls watching them are stupid bimbos. They are cute, people enjoy them, lots of smart people enjoy them. So get over the whole sexist thing.

I'm saying the game should try to appeal to another group of people.

And yes, guys will like bigger chests and skimpy clothing. Given that people have posted asking how to increase their chars chest size (pick diff faces) i would think this is an obvious way to market the game. Lots of other games have been very successful by using this method. You don't have to change all of FFXIV into pink hello kitty land. Add in a few cute costumes, a vampire based quest story line, etc. Then advertise using it.

You seem to just go around trolling everyone post and starting fights with everyone.
