Obligitory Pronouns Request

[Jin-]

In character creation you can choose your character's sex. Male or female.
Male uses pronouns he/him and female uses she/her.

I hope this helps

How was the saying?
If you make it right for everyone then the outcome will equally disliked.


A option to chose the pronouns no matter the gender of the char could probably help the most people without causing high costs.

So happy to have you back, Titanmen. These forums just aren't the same without you.

Bun/bunself miqote appropriating Viera culture, disgusting.

Also cancel the Gold Saucer, it's racist.

That’s gonna get some screeching in 2022. I love it.

Only if I can have Captain as my pronoun.

But in all seriousness though, this kind of thing would more likely than not fall under 1.0 code stuff that probably wouldn't be reasonable to go changing ...

To change this in other language versions would be terrible and take so long, especially if they took age into consideration. Do you know how many ways Japanese have to refer to a woman? Older woman, younger woman, all comparative to the age of the person being spoken to. I think adding all those additional bits to the programming would be difficult? Plus, the idea of a woman referring to herself as 'him' is almost unheard of in JPN culture, unlike US.

I mean there's an addon that fixes this problem so you all saying it'd take a lot of work are just being corporate simps lol. IMO I don't think its a necessity but its not a really hard to do implementation... I just think a japanese corporation wouldn't care enough.

the addon, only "fixes" it on your screen, and technically, in case you missed the forums the last few days, they are not allowed.

For SE to do it, they would be changing code for the last 10 years of content. so, it is not corporate simpering as you put it, its the bony finger of reality tapping on your forehead. as well as a japanese company likely not caring about it, a large percentage of the player base likely would not either. "sorry, but we are pushing back any new content for x number of months to cater to a very small minority of people who would use it and will have zero benefit to any job, dungeon or playstyle"

if they built a new game with this in it, great, thats awesome. but in FFxiv, there is zero game benefit to this and cannot even be offered as a QoL update.

Also, this could lead to a legal can of worms. I'm not sure all of the countries this game is available in, but several countries have laws against trans, non-binary, etc., so it's not as simple as you seem to think this is.
