Customizable gender identity? (for emotes)

[Katie_Kitty]

Not really for me personally, but I don't have any problem with it if they decided to give people more options.

The lore also indicates that (as per a certain wandering dramaturge) people are under the false impression that only the women are ever seen outside of the wood, which suggests that people struggle to tell them apart.

I don’t see that as a reliable piece of information.

The Dramaturge said he’s never laid his eyes on a male Viera but can’t see an indication that their genders can be confused. You could argue it’s suggested but it’s not confirmed at all, it’s just pure speculation so it can just be disregarded.

When you go mRog, you go all in on mRog.

...But it's not a bad idea.

mRoe all the way.

You’ve just had two people agree with my statement and I know a lot more others would agree. The F&M Viera are too similar.

Despite I always wear my Viera Sandles and have long hair, I had a friend whisper me just today saying she thought I fantasia’d to male viera until she got closer to me.

I've always found female viera kind of gross so that might be why I never confuse the two.

Okay then, the lore suggests that people may be under the false impression that all Viera are female, which could be driven by the already-rare men being feminine enough that they are mistaken for women because people expect them to be women.

Either way, we have the characters to look at. The men are feminine. They are also distinctly men if you need to know. That doesn't mean they need to be unambiguous to a random person in the street.

I think majority of male Viera up close just look like handsome squidward but I digress. We’ll just agree to disagree.

Honestly, more options in the different poses would be great. Especially some of the ones from mounts with how you're sitting (Behemoth and the Circus Ahriman come to mind mostly) would be great to use on chairs in the home. Most of the current poses for sitting just look awkward when used...at least for female Au Ra.

I think this is a fine idea, and it's one that PSO2 already does. Both types of emotes are available to all players and you can even set it to prioritize one type over the other regardless of chosen character sex. For instance if you create a male character but set female actions as the priority, all of your run jump and emotes will be the female version, or "type 2" as it calls it, unless otherwise specified.

Why do you have to bring your real word politics into a fictional fantasy setting. Most people play games to get away from this kind of stuff.

It also doesn't make sense from a lore perspective to have cross gendered people in the game. I don't think I've come across someone who identifies as the opposing sex.

And you know, you could have avoided a comment like this if you had just left out the whole "gender identity" thing and just asked for a side quest that would allow you to unlock all of the emotes available to your race and allow them to be added to the cycle through.

It's really that simple. But instead you wanted to bring your real world politics and sensibilities into a fictional past time. Trying to push your own personal agenda onto other people's past time. It's sad really.

Ps. Your signature doesn't become you. The irony is palpable.

i agree and support weapon cposes, but unsure about every emote. i suppose the option wouldn’t effect me personally though, so should they ever add it, no skin off my back.
