On the contrary, I don't think they fall flat at all.
Nor are women fully portrayed as equal in the game.
Look at Sastasha and the serving wenches when you come into the room and what they say to you when you enter. Look at the elezen female who betrayed the Flames in the MSQ and what she says after she's captured. I don't have access to the quotes directly, but they are subtly added in and sometimes you miss them if you aren't looking.
I would take a good close look at this statement again. Chances are if they stepped in? It would happen to them as well. Asking this question comes across as ignorance and I feel should have been given more thought before asking it.
I understand you're trying to be respectful in approaching this topic, but this is a very slippery slope and one you might not be prepared to handle with as much tact and respect as you might think you have.

Quote:Sorry, where is the female centurion who is sympathetic to the female condition (if it even exists as we know it in FFXIV) not stepping in to prevent this? Where is the female centurion ordering her troops to rape men?
