Introduction of the "Girl" and fox class.

    Excluding the stigma surrounding a loli character in western gaming (mainly MMOs), in my opinion it'd be wise to add them in sooner rather than later (at launch would be best) and here's some reasons why:

    - For starters, it comes as a gender type. This means it has it's own cosmetics, and that the clothing options will be locked if bought on the regular female/male we currently have. Meaning if you buy cloths for your female character, you will not be able to use them on the smaller body type as it's designated as it's own gender in-game. Anyone who wants to reroll to this character essentially has their cosmetics on an already female character can't use them here. Anyone who purchases cosmetics and decides they want to change to the new "gender" is in for a very rude awakening.

    - Interestingly enough the data for the body type along with her weapon as the fox class and katana class already exist in the game, even if partially. Check out merchants that sell gear/clothing. There is already stuff designated for her. If you enter the cash shop and go into gifting, you can switch to her body type and under the weapon cosmetics you can see both of her weapons. She technically already exists.

    - Opening up to pastel players. Honestly if you've played other MMOs you know that there are a lot of players that love pastel colors and the fox class is basically that. Lots of pastel and a blinding amount of pink. It'd open up the game to more types of players both in terms of gameplay and appeal.

    I get that it's going to have a heavy stigma associated with it, and frankly I don't care too much for it myself. However I do know people, my fiancee included, that is holding out for this both in terms of trying to enjoy the game they want and for purchasing cosmetics. They don't want to buy stuff that will ultimately not be used by them due to rerolling.

    I'm not asking to bring in all the current CN classes, content, etc... But having that character available from the start will allow people who chose to play that character access to cosmetics from the get go without having to regret purchasing on a different 'gender' and realizing it doesn't work between "girl" and "woman". It's one thing to add a new class, but adding a new gender option in a game like this is a big thing and it'd be best to get it out of the way now rather than down the road.

    While this is a good reason for players, it's a pretty bad one for GF as many players will buy things twice (or three times) instead of just waiting. And even if that were only 10% of the players, well… that's still something.


    Other than that, the information for the model ("There's a model") may already exist in the game as we have it, but it doesn't mean that everything necessary is there ("The model is this and this"). For all we know, the real model is tied into other stuff in the game that came at the same time as the lollis (the fox class for example), and while it would be possible to fix that, it's not necessarily easy, could take time and resources that GF feels would be best spent elsewhere.


    I'm not saying it shouldn't be done (even though I'm not too fond of the lolis myself…) but that it may very well not be simple at all to do so ahead of time. In fact, I don't imagine it would be possible to implement this without everything that went in between: let's say the lolis were implemented in version 12, but it was because a bug was solved in version 11, which came from a change made in version 7, etc, etc. It would be a nightmare to unravel all this (I know there's no way I'd want to do that when I'll release everything a few months later, in the right order) and you'd need to go through a complete cycle of quality check to make sure you didn't forget anything or introduced new bugs in the process.

    I hope it never comes out for our version (even though it definitely will) its not fair to have a female class/race-exclusive added and a male one nowhere to be seen. So until they create/add a male-exclusive race then I wouldn't care if they released it or not.


    You make only one point in your post, and it's the first one. The 2nd one is a personal preference that someone may not even have, and the third one, a negative stigma is definitely NOT a reason to release something XD


    All of these are just my opinion that is.

    Someone else's opinions or how many likes I can receive will never go into consideration before I press submit to any of my posts.
