Missing Genders: A request for Male Miqote, Female Highlander, and Female Roegadyn

[Cairdeas]

Well in XI Female Galkas did not exist in both lore and in physical presence, male mithras existed but not in the mainland.

In XIV however so far there has been confirmed existence of Rem Rogs, Male Miqos are unknown as of now and female highlander are unknown aswell. BUT there is no lore yet stating that they do not exist making it totally reasonable for players to want them.

I say give them their big butch he-man ladies and man cats and call it a day.

Just so you know all three are publicly known to exsist in game and in collected lore from the lodestone sites.

If a male Miqote is written into lore as a very rare thing, then I am against the addition of a male Miqote as a playable race/gender. It would make the lore seem very silly indeed. If it doesn't mention this, then I don't mind either way. If it means less gender-swapping in the game then I'm all for that as it's annoying to talk to a Miqote and then discover they're a guy. First impressions and all that - you go by what you see!

Same thing for female Roegadyn. If the lore allows for it, great, if it's a reincarnation lore that says there are only males, no thanks.

I don't think the world suffers from the lack of these gender/race options if there is lore to explain it, basically.

It doesn't say they are rare (MM) it says they are sometimes solitary meaning they dont form family bonds. Most likely to mean the females create the families, and take care of the kids but the males only interact with females when their urge to mate rises then they go off on their own again. Lot of cats act like that. That doesn't mean they are rare.


Female Roegadyn are talked about in the lore and one is even mentioned as being a great beauty who used that beauty to become rich and powerful. It doesn't mention they are rare or that they do not exist.

The Highlander Hyur lore states the females have been staying near ala migho and haven't left to explore since it was destroyed and only the Males have gone out looking for aid in rebuilding the city. But it doesn't say anything about them being rare or not existing.

I wouldn't mind seeing these added for more variety but I'm happy enough with my character as is.

I agree, but I've had time to get used to the races while playing XI. For those that are new to the manqo'te life style I encourage you to listen to this song as it my provide some comfort. :P

i dont like this topic. lol

Yes, well put -- I certainly don't expect new playable genders to be at the top of the to-do list (or even in the middle, lol), SE has more important things to work on. However, at this point we do not know if SE will ever add them or if they are even considering it anymore as they are not something that has been mentioned on the giant to-do list-chart-thingies that have been posted. Which, I would point out, even included consideration of a "jump" feature.

So I get the idea that this thread is more of a way to poke SE about actually adding more playable genders to their official "we plan to do this and will get around to it eventually" list, or at least the "we are considering it" list. ^_~ It sure would be a great addition for the PS3 launch. ^^

im all for it i for one will never play these races but hell it seams that a lot of people are screaming for it even back in ff11 so why not make it happen.

[Nabiri]

I'd be jumping up and down in excitement if they added this to the to-do list. I'd be so happy! lol
