gj kicking him when he's already in the mud
I find this reasoning very strange, but it's common enough that it must be important to people. Just think it's weird that it becomes a sexual kind of thing for people. A lot of people see their character as their avatar, I guess some people are just completely disconnected and want to oogle at their character instead.
Its because I love him really and I would have gladly given him my bitter chocolate.
guys with anime/furry/girl avatars are pretty weird too

why are you staring at some guys ass? i always play male chars and my focus is never at their asses.
I know right! Completely bizarre!!!
This is exactly me.
I created a male character since, well...I'm male, and I view the character as a Black Mage extension of myself. It wouldn't feel the same if I created a female character.

Same. I'm male and my character is male. I'm not a cat man (but I do like cats) and my guy doesn't really look like me but if I was a fantasy land catman I'd like to be my fantasy land catman.
I sometimes do make female characters but only in single player games as secondary characters where I do things I didn't on my first playthrough. Like me renegade femshep.
I can't imagine seeing my character as something to oogle at. Either it's an avatar for me, or I'm roleplaying as them. Never sexual in any way.
I just play whatever looks cool or cute. I don't think of the character as myself (since I play as a male lala lol). I feel the same way in other games with character creation.
Haha, the exact same screenshot.

I make multiple characters in games that allow it, and always play a redhead female first. Started doing it when I realized most games wouldn't make it possible to create a character that looks like me.
Women often play male characters to avoid harassment, which is completely understandable if you've ever played any MMO.
FFXIV characters don't have asses. just long backs, so that point is moot.

I just play whoever, sometimes I'll go male, sometimes I'll go female. Usually female though. White mage clothes look bad on males though.
On a separate note, people really need to speak up at the start of fights if they have an issue or something. Wiped to Turn 4 on PF for about an hour and only then did the other healer bothered to ask if we spoke Spanish, would have been nice to mention that sort of thing earlier...

What kind of weird girls would do that?! I want to point and laugh at them.

The cat butts thread will always be one of the best threads to come out of the official forums.
Started out female Roe. Loved her. Switched to male Roe. Loved him more. Felt more like an extension of me. So I guess, count me in that pool.
I met a great LS of girls who played Galkas in XI years ago. lol They were pretty cool.

Same here. I hate having to write she/he because I don't know what gender someone is because they want to look at an ass jiggle in front of them (just have a porn site open while playing if you want that).

I don't really buy into the whole "extension of yourself" thing. Not in a game where you can be an elf, cat, roided half bear/half human thing, and a uh... I dunno, puntable creature. I was a male elvaan in XI for almost a decade and I never felt he was an extension of myself.
I don't view my character as an extension of myself. I tend to make female characters when playing casters/archers and males when making warriors/melee. Pretty stereotypical, I know. Catboys shouldnt be wearing robes. If this game didnt encourage just one toon, my second character would've been a male Highlander WAR for sure.
Also, female animations are usually always better than male animations in MMOs (especially /dance). But that could just be how I perceive them. You could slap the exact same animation for both genders and it can come across as awkward or groan-worthy on males but adorable on females. (ie. cheer emote).

Not to mention you get a name that doesn't match, unless you chose a unisex sounding name.
Just wondering though, you can't redo it even with the Lightning/Snow event rerun that started today?
I'm crazy about dumb event items, so I made two level 50 characters, one male and one female so I can make sure I have all of them.
Queen Kirigiri would never!
I was just messing, but that's pretty cool. I'm a girl who plays a guy character. lol We have a super secret linkshell for gaf girls and several of us actually play guy characters. The rest of them are cat men, though... /shakes head

The animations were unique for each race in 1.0. That was removed for ARR. PS3 limitations, no doubt.
Some of us keep it more hidden than others, because there are a couple of creepy dudes in the FC.
Oh yeah, I know that feeling. D:

Yeah, be careful around that Elliott dude, such a creeper.
Have you met Startcat Alpha?

Wouldn't have mind going elf but why are their heads so small compared to the rest of the body? What's up with that?
Oh neat. Good for you ladies.
These girls liked the Galkas because 1) people didn't act weird towards them (besides the usual Galka jokes) and 2) Galkas were fuckawesome. =)
Nope. Can't redo. Just checked. I had completed it as a female before. Used Fantasia and your items do not switch to a guy's. So, Lightning Event items and swimsuits. All female. =/
Excuse you. I'm a gentleman, thank you very much.
Really? I'm searching the website and I can't find a listing for it. I've searched for "Realm Reborn", "Final Fantasy", even "Final Fantasy XIV". Nothing.
I'd prefer to use CDJapan over HMV Japan, since I've ordered more items from CDJapan and that's where I ordered the Before Meteor OST, but I can't seem to find the Realm Reborn OST on the site.

idk. You just made a jab at those girls playing catguys. Don't know if I could trust that statement

Catboys are the lame. And they walk so funny.
On the other hand, they seem to be overflowing with swagger.
