But on the subject, I've been wondering...what would Eorzeans use as contraception? I was thinking of some sort of "potion" contraception, but is there actually any lore about it?

Bootshine to the gut? Eorzea's Plan: B.

FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS ME!

... Except I would joke to Lillini that they would have to go to a Conjurer for a staff to the abdomen. ヽ(´ー`)ﾉ (And maybe a Cure after they jabbed them to rid of the potential babe.)

Answer: Yes, but it is rare...and often difficult due to cultural differences, etc. which is why you don't see it often. The lore team has informed me that there will be future quests/events that touch on this and other issues, such as love and marriage.

It's been said that the cross-race issues will be touched upon or detailed in 3.0 Heavensward.

So your saying Kerwin x Otto could have children...in the future perhaps.  Ruh roh.
Kage can find a pretty Femroe and have children.
So, yes.

<thinks>A Lala guy and a Roe lady?........

Just gonna throw it out there that as a woman IRL, I can't see my nipples through my bra. o_o Hell, my breasts are pretty perky naturally, so the main reason I wear a bra is to make sure nothing's poking through my shirt.

This thread has gone from innocent question to in depth discussion of contraception, to falcon punching to the stomach, then to answer about real world breast attributes. 

The Internet is a wonderful, yet strange place.

I uh... thanks for letting us know that.

As a fat man, I do not wear a bra, but I probably should. It gets sweaty under those things.

Well, I also am a female IRL, and I can tell you that I do notice them. I guess it's because I mostly use sport bras which aren't as thick and respect shapes better.

But I digress, my question was answered and the topic was profusely explored and discussed, so I think it can end here. I am sorry if I have hurt someone's sensibility, some answers seemed to be a little passive-aggressive, or written by people who perhaps took the matter a little more seriously than the funny question it really meant to be.

I did not mean to doubt people who RPd mammal pregnancy nor to say that anything that doesn't have a firm statement in the lore can be twisted in nonsense theories, and I apology if I gave that impression. I really just thought it was funny to point out the overall lack of NPCs pointing out births and related details.

I'll go back to lurk in my shady corner waiting for the next interesting thread to pop. Thanks for reading and participating!

Nothing that couldn't be assumed. My gender's not really a secret, and most girls have boobs, and most girls wear things on their boobs. Pretty standard there. Tongue

I think it was in reference to the -why-.


Not going to lie, I do it for the same reasons plus my mother has told me that if i don't wear them I'll get saggy breasts when I get old @_@; Er.

-shrug- I don't... see why it's an issue to mention that bras are made for... you know, one of the things they're made for.

fortunately for this argument, men also have nipples xD

there are also plenty of materials that nipples don't show through.
but I digress, isn't this thread 'suppose' to be about the theory of the main races being mammals? not so much nipples and the game models? which we've already solidly established as fact? xD

screw this, let's get to layin' those pods

(Woman IRL as well and you see nothing when I'm wearing my bra, I'm a nipple less girl D: ?)

Don't think you did hurt anybody's sensitivity. The question of the nipple, on my side, was already asked while playing Tera : In korean version you can see (like.. Clearly) through the Castanic clothes and the Elin clothes are revelating

The reason was simply to lower the PEGI age rating and not locking that game on 18+, hence my answer earlier ♥ !

Then why state the obvious? I mean, it just kinda seems like you really wanted to talk about your own parts. Is this a thing we're doing now? Does the mere fact that genitals exist mean that I can start sharing facts about the specifics of the ones I happen to own? I thought we were talking about nipples in a fantasy game, but if all bets are off, let's get all truth or dare up in this bitch.

The OP's comment just made it kinda sound like she was surmising that if nipples aren't visible through clothing, they must not exist. My comment was made seeing as that being a woman, I have some expertise and can personally attest that it's not the case. I also don't believe that I shared any specific details about my breasts, only alluded to the fact that hiding nipples is part of the point of bras to begin with.

Yeah, I have boobs, shock and gasp, let's pretend I'm sharing some deep dark "TMI" secret like every single stranger who passes me on the street couldn't take one look and surmise that for themselves.

You're acting like I'm shocked that you're stating you're a woman, but really I'm just kind of wondering why you decided to make the conversation about you.

I didn't make it about me..? You're the one here focusing on me.
