Are FF14 players more feminine

I mean, I'm inclined to agree with you. It's just that "SE only listens to JP" might be a meme, but a real one. I don't really see JP suddenly jumping up and down for some Conan aesthetics (ESO just got a couple in that vein, I am very much a fan of old-pulp-fantasy-power-fantasy lookins) when the bulk of their player base plays lalafell.

That's a feminine attack! If you're a man you'd just tell me to neck myself.

I mean, no one said you couldn't do that outside. lol

It's been a good thread, everyone.

The developers look at Western feedback too. As one example, they noted in interviews that it seemed to be a driving force behind upcoming challenge dungeon content, since they were surprised by the amount of Western feedback that involved requests for harder dungeon content.

Hello darkness my old friend~

Well it's nice to know they look at western feedback just to look away and pretend they didn't see it.

I mean, nowadays?
It feels like every Western dev nowadays thinks that having conventional power fantasies is like some great social ill that they need to save us from.
We're at the point where stuff like the Malkavians in Vampire Bloodlines became a big deal because they were a '' poor representation of the mentally ill '', so now we can't have them be wacky and comedic in Bloodlines 2...
There's apparently quite a lot of people who unironically can't separate reality from fantasy.

Only exceptions I can think of really both in regards to Conan-esque male characters and more conventionally feminine female characters are old and are from sometimes over a decade ago.
And the Conan-esque male characters have a tendency to become sad dads or have to become more pacifistic.

In the West when it comes to gaming nowadays it's all average and frumpy people whether men or women, lest some ultra insecure person with actual mental health problems who needs actual help plays it and feels bad.

I mean, best I can think of is that Reaper exists due to Westerners wanting a scythe job. Japan was mostly indifferent to it. I think that's about the extent of how much they listen though, but that's a story for... ten other threads (yikes).

As for this thread...

What.

OP define "feminine" in non-50's Cottagecore terms please?

Because honestly, I've never seen a community as high on testosterone as Roegadyn, Xaela Au Ra, Highlander Hyurs and Hrothgars. Yes, even the ones with flowers on your hair, I see you. You're cute and pretty but everyone knows not to mess with you because you bite. And you bite hard.

Only to be surprised, then turn right round and return to their normal feedback channels.

If they did actually listen, you wouldn't be losing your ears tomorrow.
