Ungendered sit poses, please?

[Jettinson]

I want to add they should unlock gender based combat poses as well...

I still don't get why most of races can't hold the axe and spear like M Roe/Hrothgar for example.
They are my favorites

This thread can only go well.

Here we go again, ffs I'm for more gender neutral stuff but not EVERYTHING has to be for both gender, preserve some uniqueness to each gender ffs.

[DRHaymaker]

The absolute aggressive narcissism in this thread...

"Can we have even MORE options for SITTING?"
"I'd rather have something unique to my gender... looks kinda ugly on a female anyways."
"THEN DON'T USE IT, YOU MISOGYNIST!"

[IkaraGreydancer]

Don't yall know by now? Many won't be satisfied til nothing is tied to a gender n the game is fully neutral. Wanting things to stay as they currently are n wanting some uniqueness is "cringe n sickening".

Wake up people

Why can't we all be bald, featureless grey puppets with all the same animations, gear and poses? That way nobody will feel left out of anything.

Personally, I'm pro gender neutrality in the scenario that we never lose options. I truly don't think it has to be an all or nothing scenario and XIV has shown us this time and again recently. Normal glamours and outfits are becoming increasingly gender neutral, BUT they're still maintaining the trend of creating two different "gendered" sets even if the items themselves can now be worn by anybody and the gender neutrality will not be extending to NPC attire as per YoshiP's comments a couple weeks ago. Many were concerned that begging for unisex glamours would lead SE to say "OK, sure!" and create one gender neutral design for everybody for every glamour in the game from now until infinity, but thus far there's no signs of this happening. I completely understand the anxiety over losing something in the process of gaining something. Thankfully all the Island sets still have a "masculine" and "feminine" design - as do the Salon sets and the upcoming Valentione event sets.

Like many I do not support race neutrality. I think every race should be different and maintain unique hairstyles, emotes, voices, etc. The game has received criticism from its playerbase for homogenization of jobs, and I feel pushing the trend of neutrality could lead player character designs in a similar direction. We don't all need the same everything, but sit poses that everybody can already use anyway? Umbrella poses? Who cares. Racial uniqueness is important in a way I feel gender uniqueness is not. For me, they don't overlap. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

BOY I'M SURE GLAD THERE'S A THING CALLED "OPTIONS" AND "TOGGLES"
AMIRITE?

Where is the option to pick and choose the poses your character cycles through with randomized idle animation?

I just want my female miqo to get that amazing squat the males do. And for the people that think women manspreading is gross or whatever were you raised in the 1800s? I'm a woman irl and have always just worn pants and I'll manspread sometimes just because it's comfy and I know many women that do too. I'm not sure why people have this weird idea of how women are supposed to sit. If I was wearing a tiny skirt by all means I wouldn't be sitting in a way that shows the world my underpants, but when I'm wearing pants why wouldn't I want to sit in a way that's comfortable? It's almost like women are able to sit however the want and I would love my character to have that option too.

And if we want to talk removing gendered poses I would like that male dragoon please. No idea why the most traditional dragoon pose in the entirety of Final Fantasy is tied to male characters. And I'm sure a lot of people that play male characters would love to have our amazing DRK pose. I believe female characters also have the better SAM pose because males hold their sword wrong.

W o w. Had a feeling this was going to come out at some point, but so quickly is a surprise. Newsflash: no one is saying remove the feminine stuff, and besides, the reinforcement of gendernorms is antifeminist in its essence. But that's not what the point of this is.

We are asking for more options for presentation that you do not have to engage in. And if it's such an issue, the cpose roulette could be changed to match the minion one where you choose what gets included.

No one said you're trying to strip the female avatars of their femininity. Leave your strawmen in the shed.

And speaking of having a feeling this would come out, that is exactly how I felt when I read the patch notes, as I knew that before long, players such as yourself would be asking for more options despite the fact that they've just given you more, including all of the gender unlocks to a ton of glamour gear, which undoubtedly leads to posts like yours.

This isn't about having more options, this is about you thinking you have some sort of entitlement to having access to everything because you're a paying subscriber somehow grants you that privilege. I have news for you: it doesn't. Your time isn't any more valuable than mine, the next person, or the development team. You really need to let that sink in, and stop letting feelings of exclusion ruin your experience in the game. You've turned this into much more than my simple opinion where I said females manspreading is disgusting, and I still do. I'm not spouting that like it's a fact. But you're arguing as if I am.

We are literally asking for options that you do not need to participate in. Keep your feminine highlander, this isn't about you this is about people who actually want this implemented for their own sake and comfort.

For their own sake and comfort? Good lord, I think I am just going to stop right here. If you literally cannot enjoy the game because your feelings of entitlement lead to exclusivity ruining your experience, you might need to reflect on why you're playing the game in the first place.

Here. Let this image of my female Midlander spell out F-e-m-i-n-i-n-e for you.
