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

[Cairdeas]

I've always loved the animal-like races like the Bangaa and Nu Mou. I think the Gria would be too popular a choice if there were a counterpart. x-x

Those horned Oracles in Gridania look like Gria without tails.

[Shelia]

Yeah, they do. It's weird... they showed up in the concept art with the other races, but they aren't playable. lol
Maybe it was another ditched idea.

Also... holy crap! Yay! Thank you Bayohne.

[Shikyo]

Finally! Now to play the waiting game.

edit: I wonder does Bayohne ever sleep?

this whole thing is a big waiting game and it started when the game released 6 months ago...

[Amsai]

I like the idea of getting the missing genders, but not as much as I'd like new races. Especially beastmen races. I would love to be a Goblin!!

Anyways, nice to see some progress on the missing genders. Though I myself don't care either way, I'm tired of dealing with Manqotes.

Yea I can't argue with you about that. When I get tired of dealing with XIV I just go do something else until I see patch notes. SE knows they can't just be idle so I still have faith the team is working hard.

Greetings everyone!

We can definitely see the enthusiasm being shown in this topic, and it's not something we're overlooking! We are currently discussing with the development team now and will report back once we receive a response.

OMG!!!!!!!! Thank You Bayohne! E-highfive everyone ... WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!

Yay! thanks for the reply we've been waiting for Bayohne , now lets just hope Yoshi-P decides to give it the green light.

I'd like a male migote ;P only cuz it would remind me of FFIX's Zidane XD Would be cool if we could hide the ears *dreams*

Or the option to put the ears back (like when a cat gets angry) that would be pretty cool.

One thing is certain:

If you want to make a game with a creative or inventive race of beings that posess no gender, only one, or more than two, keep your game hidden from Cairdeas, or you won't be allowed to have it.

(To be fair, the lore of FFXIV allows for these other gender options to exist. But Cairdeas was arguing for this long before that was even established.)

Yes I was. I also argued for equal genders in Warhammer Age of Retconning.

So I'm right then. You're squelching creativity. If I want to make an MMO based on the world of microscopic organisims that replicate by cell division, are you going to complain that you can't be a male or female amoeba?

in FFXI, male mithra existed (in seclusion, but they existed), so I'd have been fine with them adding it. But not for the Galka, who are stated in the instruction manual to have "no specific gender" and are merely *treated* as males (most likely because of their appearance, sound of their voice, or other factors).

Similarly, I'm OK with it in FFXIV for that reason alone. But before SE started using the phrase "men and women," it was not OK.
