[Fun] Why do you use a male character?

[JemC]

There just has to be balance, you know. The answer is obviously damn sexy. So why do you play male char?

Because this is the first FF where I can play a character who doesnt look like a 12yo... I'm also gay so add the ass over time factor.

This is quite possibly the greatest response I could've asked for. The man speaks the truth.

Everything this guy said!

Because it's an MMORPG and I play it as such. I'm male in real life and role playing as this heroic adventurer feels natural. And I'm not even talking about role playing with other PCs. I'm more referring to the story elements. I'd rather be able to relate to my avatar than to have something pretty to look at.


I get that some people play the game like they'd play Tomb Raider or something similar. They don't put themselves in the shoes of the protagonist directly, but personally, I'd rather think of my character as being an extension of myself.

Because I always play the big strongman dudes so I can feel totally heroic when I play, plus it draws a lot of attention to me since male Roegadyn is pretty rare and I am a total attention whore

This is actually the best answer.

Go Roe or go home tbh.

For some reason people see Roes like this



I play male because when I star to speak to the Japanese ladies at Spanish they act like this:



Una a la vez señoritas, tranquilas por favor. Lol

I originally chose a male because I knew I wanted to be miqo'te, but the starter lady miqo'te outfit kinda made me feel like my whole point for playing the game would be fanservice... Not to mention I wasn't really excited about the female hairstyles or face options, which all seemed sorta blah to me.

So I switched to a dude, and yup, sure enough, definitely cooler (and more attractive! ) looking models. So male it is. As someone else said, I love running around in the weaver outfits. Too freakin' stylish.

I mostly forget about the character vs. player gender business when playing so it's always jarring when someone I'm party finder'd with makes a joke about the party having all men or something. Like "Ohhh, yeah! I'm playing a dude! Derp derp."
