Even then, it'd be inviting so much hell to try and make that kind of joke. Let's hope they don't.Well the only reason I asked this question was because if you think about the amount of willpower it likely takes to keep The Inner Beast or Darkside at bay would be huge if it wasn't every tom dick and harry in Eorzea would be a Dark Knight or Warrior.Â
So it really comes down to what makes sense/is most interesting for you and your character. Women in the real world can have either a harder or an easier time with the effects of hormones. It's up to the player if they want to make that a factor or just ignore it. I'd think for most people, it's such a minor part of life (like daily diet, basic hygiene, maintenance chores, etc.), that it's definitely easy to just leave it on the sideline as a non-issue.(Skirts make so much more sense now, especially in a world with so much less sitting.)
My character's system doesn't work properly anymore. This should probably have an effect, and maybe it contributes, but in terms of how I play her, it isn't much of a factor at all in determining her attitudes and motivations.
Opinions and experiences are valuable, but there's never going to be word of law, probably not even consensus.
Even though the emotional fluxes caused by the hormones during this cycles would be everyday business to your average citizen, you'd have to assume the women who walk the lines of Warriors and Dark Knights wouldn't view it as such.Â
I think in the cases of these two classes especially we can't look at it as an everyday person dealing with it.
Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.
