Mostly, it bothers me on principle. Artists, in my mind, shouldn't be kowtowing to financiers; doing so is basically throwing art under the bus in favor of making money. We already give those with capital far too much control over our society, IMO. But that's a discussion for a different thread.
With that said, I actually like the appearance of the race -- there's actually not a single race in XIV I don't like the looks of.
Whether I like it in general or enough to play one depends on the lore. I'm still waiting for the explanation of the extreme sexual dimorphism.Also, yes to being able to go barefoot. I really don't like that we can't do that.
Now with that said, work time:

One initiative I'd like to get back to is not zapping posts out of the threads. I will, however, request that those discussing genderqueer issues in games in general either take it to PM or another thread over in Off-Topic. Thanks.
