Automation Queen? Why?

[Kazrah]

You know what..? I never even thought of chess when playing MCH, I was just literally thinking the naming had something to do with Ishgard and their culture...learned something new lol

6.0: Machinist gets Automaton King, which comes with a special ability called Castle that switches its position with the Machinist. #pleaselookforwardtoit

To be fair, I'm sure a drag queen name would work just fine for it.

I don't think the name has anything to do with gender.
You're reading too much into it.

Why is this the hill you want to die on?

Queen's the best chess piece.

Nice

I figured queen was the chess piece, but looking at it i thought it might be a double reference to the giant robot on the "News of the World" album cover by the band Queen.

why in the blazes did this thread get resurrected

[OMega_ARcane]

Someones gotta say it, but remember the fairy was a King? Maybe they get together King Fairy and Queen Automation! lol

Come on your gonna give the giant robots Queen as the default gender? I was gonna name my bot Boyo and have him be my faithful gay bro companion and everything.

Cant you just, leave the gender of the Automation ambiguous like you did with the Puppets in XI? That way we can name and RP our bots however we want

I know you and your playerbase are scared of the concept of big men let alone big robot men but just let us have King and Queen or just no gender at all.

And I know what people are gonna say *Well men can be queens* this is a JRPG and the fanbase is like 80% hetero white dudes, they cant even grasp the concept of a guy being over 200 pounds let alone being a Queen.

I suppose you're also helplessly confused over the Il Mheg story then too, huh?
