I always make a male and female character and give them the same name from my other games if possible (I gave them personality/backstories in my head, dont ask). And sometimes I make multiple characters from different classes, species, races, skin colors etc. and if I feel creative, their back story/bio. Helps if one is a creative person that likes to write stories.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I usually pick whatever sex looks cooler or has better animations/armor. Like in the case of FFXI the female options look a lot better and flashier than the ho-hum males.
I almost always made girl characters.
And then I made myself one too 👍
I almost always make my melee characters women and generally small. Yes the lady gnome is your tank today, bow down to your leader.
Silence peasant. You’re dps and there are hundreds like you. I could replace you like that
Hi I’ll be your 8 foot tall orc healer today, firing heals down at you like a UAV
I sometimes prefer playing men just because of how male-gazy they make women look. It just seems weird at times, beyond what I’d brush off as artistic and stylistic choices.
In some games girls getting cooler clothes, like in Pokemon. In stuff like Guild Wars I loved both male and female armor sets, depending on the class.
