Obligitory Pronouns Request

[Nyxs]

I see nothing wrong with adding a pronoun feature to characters. It's 2022, and to have them on display for people to see would make it easier to not offend anybody. Sure its a lot of text to go through, but it makes sense. The problem will only get worse with the games age. It literally hurts no one, but the developers who have to make the change. It's a harmless request that can be either accepted, or denied by the devs. People who oppose it are just overreacting.

Time is better spent on other things. As for offending someone, most ppl in this game you get paired up in a duty with once or so randomly. Might see them lounging around in a city. I dont think some random person will even remember you after your small interaction and it would be weird to just insert it into a conversation with someone.

I think there's more important and practical things that should be done to the game before they add in a feature that involves bringing real world controversies into a videogame.

I don’t care and neither should you, you play a dragon scaley female in a universe full of magic and crap. I doubt the devs are aiming for ultra realism, might as well ask “where are all the Mexicans representation?” This isn’t a Netflix show

Is your character in-lore a pixie or even a dragon? No? Then this is unnecessary. Put it in your Search Comment and be about your day.

Worrying about pronouns is such a wrestern first world problem that only a minority of people in said western nations (who also seem to be from the middle class and higher) care about this (and almost always enforce it onto other people, like the controle freaks they are).

When you look at the WoL. Tovarishch has other things to worry about. Like dalmud almost crashing, a primal being summoned, bahamut comming back, dragons invading isgard.... owning a house....

Isn't this like an American thing? I'm from the Netherlands and i'm in the LBTQ community and I've literally never had anyone state their pronounce to me...
It will end up like portraits I think, will just become a huge joke, with all the "funny" people in this community giving themselves a ridiculous pronounce, because to most people it is ridiculous..

Aye, pretty much. I play with japanese audio, so everything is okay there. It is mostly the english. They use he/she her/him and the like. I am assuming OP wants the english to at the very least display they/them or something else. When coding a simple small project for a class the program I was using just allowed for me to input the text to fill out pronouns in mass and put place holders similar to a characters name. So it was customizable, you could choose the setting and it would just fill in the blanks accordingly which was why I assumed it would be easy for the english to just add the option and autofill with whatever peoples hearts desired.

Personally I find it weird to begin with how the game just knows magically what my gender was unless they are all pervs or I told them.

Something also my partners mom brought up. She plays male elezen because she likes having a hot dad to look at while she plays, but it would be cool to have the option for the game to know her real life gender. It was just a small thing and by no mean the most important thing. There is just this small feeling for myself that I wouldn't have even told the scions my first name let alone my gender.

But you play a female character, at least on the profile picture. What you mean magically knows your gender? It's pretty obvious which one your character is. Or are you wearing some full plate armour?

Are you sure? I might just be a shorter au ra male? I wear clothing that is not revealing, androgynous in nature. I couldn't get the chest slider any lower, so I suppose the very small bump near my chest could, but it could also just be stuffing. I stay away from the glamour items usually that give the character larger proportions.

If I were wearing many sets of armour it would be harder to tell as well unless you know the exact height range of each individual race. Alternatively if they have access to lodestone to see what gender chose in character creator, which would be cheating. There is no way of know if I am or am not packing heat.

Edit: I mean it is also possible that Roe's are 9 lala's in mech suit.
