Are boys and girls thier own gender in FFXI

[gomenasai]

wow, people just keep on posting...

i started playing this game since it came out here with another friend of mine, we're both girls. we hadn't played an MMORPG before, but were both FF nuts, so we figured what the hey, and we love it. I chose mithra because i wanted to be sneaky and kinda devious, my friend chose hume because she wanted to be a healer do-gooder foil to my sneakiness ^^ since we've started playing (we're very slow ~.~ or at least waste a lot of time ) we've had 2 more friends start playing, again, both girls.

but as i've played i just wish i had picked tarutaru.. i don't really care for getting hit on online, it really kinda creeps me out, actually and getting offered items and money from people (does happen, a lot) i also find annoying, i want to be self-sufficient, i don't want guys lining the streets with gil in hand just because i'm a girl :angel:

i just wish people would stop asking caring about it so much, it just gets more and more of a pain in the neck. but at the same time i don't want to be called "he" all the time...

Why don't male Mithras who want to be known as males just put (male) at the end of their names?

[Arkadya]

I am a male who plays a Mithra. I picked Mithra because, at the time, I assumed that 2 dex = 1 acc. Now that I know better, I feel like a sucker. Well, felt like a sucker, now that I'm going to level up thief in my spare time (since my static only meets up every other weekend now) I feel good about my race choice. It's also more pleasing to the eye to look at a female character than a male one anyway.

As for telling people, I told everyone in my ls when i joined, and most pick up on it because I don't type like a lot of women do (overabundance of lolz, omgz, and ^^ smilies).

And if they don't, my bazaar comment does read, "I am a straight male."

i have something to say and i dont feel like going through all posts but its logical that someone might said it earlier...

anyways...for those who thinks it feels better looking at ur self as a girl or whatever...

i dont think looking in the mirror and seeing ur self as a girl while u know ur a guy is really creepy..

since whats in the screen might reflect you in other words..because thats you the whole time...you control that character and u speak with it and all

i dont know its prolly "diffrent strokes for diffrent folks"

Nooooope! because some people will always feel uncomfortable with who they are and their sexuality.

I expect to see more threads .. mainly from people under 18 ...not a personal attack. I find people under a certain age that plays online games have issues with playing something they arent in Real life.





I play a female toon for alo tof reasons. great for me to RP , im secure with myself as a person and man, I like the way Triel looks.
I play mage type characters mainly and somewhere in my mind. When I think magic I think woman.

I dont play for stats. I like to watch Triel on screen , shes pleasing to look at even though she is pixels.
I dont get hit on very much except by hiloki , a friend from yokohama. But he likes the way triel looks also >< .
If someone asks if im a guy i say yes. They say "oh" and continue to talk to me .. Unless they are uncomfortable with the revelation.
It doesnt bother me in the least. Yes I do Role play..



Questioneer: " Triel are you a guy?"
Triel: No cant you see i am a woman?
Questioneer: " Where you from?
Triel: Bastok, im kin to Cid
Questioneer: "mmm........ok! are you RPing or something?"
Triel: Yes gaining rank points with my nation is what im about..

By this time they either give up or accept the fact that they wont get a straight answer from me.
Its a game enjoy it as such ..

If you have gender issues , sorry for ya!!

and yes I do have a GF... that gets asked alot.. our picks are in that big thread in the screenshots section.

FFXI probably has the most female gamers in any MMOG. Finding a female gamer is easy, you can easily determine a person's gender by the name they choose and what they say.

You see many guys playing as girls but not the other way around. However I seen a male elvaan once that was a girl ^^.

Now here's a god awful truth. Sure that Mithra could be a girl, but how do you know it's not your best friend's mother!!!!!!!

No seriously, in my LS a couple guys mentioned their mother plays FFXI. Disturbing...

It really depends on the server. I've seen a lot of girls with male characters in my server. (like one of my LS leader)

Heh reminds me....I was in a pt with a taru girl..then she asked if i've met a certain galka. I said yeah and it turns out they were married irl XD and then she had to leave the pt to put her daughter to bed XD

[Fullmetal]

i play female mithras cause they are hot and rping is just not for me.

[Misukii]

I play a female taru and I'm female irl
what I hate is everytime I wear a tunic I get mistaked for a boy >< or people think I'm a boy

[Animekirk]

guys that play as girls because they like to (whatever the reason) are no problem at all. Its just the guys (middle aged mostly) that play as girls to " pick up hot young guys" that freak me out and make me have nightmares.:sweat:

[aimeekitty]

I really really wanted to be a catgirl, but my playing style is more like an Elvaan. I wanted to be a strong warrior, after playing both Mithra and Elvaan warrior for a little while, I felt more comfortable with the higher stats in certain areas of the Elvaan.

So I tried being an Elvaan female. (I'm female, IRL) But they are just not attractive to me (seem almost stretched out or something with the in game models, imho?) I'm very silly and I have to like how my character looks to enjoy the game. At that point I almost went back to being Mithra...

but I picked being a sexy male elf instead. I have fun teasing my friends while playing so it's just as fun to me or more so than being my actual sex. ^_^ (though I still wish I could be a Mithra with higher attack stats...)

maybe eventually I will go back to being Mithra and just "suckitup" (or try to get equip that will up the lacking stats.

my husband IRL (male) plays a male character, however I think he would have chosen whatever race best fit the stats he wanted.

I guess if I wanted the ultimate warrior I should have chosen Galka, huh? but I can't stand how they look for my personal character. :sweat:

[tazirai]

Choosing the sex or race of your character doesnt make you weird.
it allows you to enjoy your game your way,


Sadly there are people who dont understand that and think people playing the opposite sex is wrong.

they fail to realize playing anything but hume for all jobs would be wrong in their world also.
