Character Creation, Customization, and Gender

[TBerry]

I really wish I had the option to show non-binary.

In Japanese, there are more difficulties than replacing "he/she" with "they". The Japanese language has yet to define a word similar to "they" that can be used regardless of tone of voice. I don't know how to solve this problem either.

But anyway, I am fed up with the situation where gender is mentioned in every conversation. I hope we can have a conversation without having to add gender to every conversation.

*I used a translation tool. There may be something wrong. Thanks for reading.

Thank you for your input.

A very simple solution is to simply add a pronoun option to each body type. I think adding a She/He/They to both bodies would at the very least give more options. I don't think it's feasible to add in more body types at this stage, I mean, they haven't even finished Viera/Hrothgars yet.

It's not just a matter of assigning pronouns though; you also have to adjust what the game does with them, and as previously discussed that would be a huge undertaking.

Plus, it would at minimum require a new piece of information to be stored about the character, which they don't seem to be able to add freely. Right now any gender-variable dialogue just needs to check which character model you're using.

I will express my support for this. (Pronoun options should be a thing, future expressions could also try to be a little more neutral at the very least).

Personally I'd love to mix & match some animations, I like some of the male miqo'te's emotes some of them would be nice, also ways your character moves it would be nice to have more then one option in my opinion. I also want us to have less clothes that are different from male to female, failure to do so they should add a option to switch between both styles.

I think changes like these are nice to accommodate for players needs in this way.

I like it the way it is with proper English being used.

You're not playing yourself in this video game you're playing an adventurer entirely different from yourself.

Some want to create themself in the game, some just create a OC with a Lore behind
This OC could be a cute little soft Boy (use Female chara as base) and wanted to be refer as "He" in the Story becuase he is a "He" and not a "She". Some want it the other way around or some wanted to play a NB.

Everything is legit and no one get's hurt, when this would be a feature
No one ask to let everything down and only work on this feature, but would be nice, if this will come in the future~

(Sorry for the bad english :'D)

What "proper English"? Singular they has been used for literal centuries. Shakespeare did it. The most common use is "I don't know this person's gender", applying it to people who don't want to be labeled as either man or woman really wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

That and language evolves. It always has. Words change or add meanings, new words are created to refer to new things, some expressions fall out of use and other ones become fashionable.

Not to mention, there is no definitive authority on what "proper English is" anyway. Some countries have an institution that decides grammatical rules and ortography, English, at the very least UK English, does not. All those fancy dictionaries are purely descriptive = they say how language is used, not how it SHOULD be used.

These options are something I would love for the game to have. I've played my character as a "tomboy" for all the years I've been playing. I've been very upset with the graphic update that seems to have gone out of its way to change my characters face to be much much more feminine. I'm not NB personally, but I would love the game to have NB language options, and more variety in bodies and features. It can be a goal for the game to aspire to. I have many friends who play this game that even just a pronoun selection would mean a lot to. And if it means a lot to them it means a lot to me too.
