cuz it's an RPG where you choose skills and how to build your character, you choose its name , put tons of time into levelling it up...so i think you should be able to choose gender.
you can say that they dont have genders because theyre real characters in the storyline but let's face it they are just classes... even if there is an "Evy" in some mabinogi storyline everyone changes her from black girl to white girl, short girls to tall girl,breast size,makeup, eye color,hair color... you're not playing Evy you're playing your own charater that you customized, on a mage class.
I would be upset if they mess up the storyline :mad:

That's very far from the truth. There is obviously a reason they are named Fiona, Evie, and Lann, and not Warrior, Mage, and Assassin. You should not be able to choose gender, that would make the game too generic. If you bothered to pay attention, there is a large story behind the game, something other RPGs--especially MMOs--lack.

No, there is no story behind SPECIFIC CHARACTER Lann does not have a story as you can tell EVERY SINGLE QUEST is the same on all characters EXCEPT FOR SKILL QUESTS. And when you talk to an NPC they don't say "HI, LANN" They say "HI, (YOUR IGN)" It IS classes but without the ability to change gender. And this does matter in a lot of players opinions I don't wanna see a bunch of people who look exactly the same as me. Most people want to be unique such as myself.

The Mabinogi's story refers that Evie, Fiona, Lann, Karok, and Kai are five legendary heroes

Mabinogi has really little to do with Vindictus characters, even when one is a prequel of another. The only things mentioned are the names, and those name can basically be anything. (No class, gender etc.)
Having a male mage in Vindictus doesn't mess up Mabinogi's storyline, though it will mess up Vindictus' storyline and also mean more work for character models, plot line (Many Evie's storyline are based on gender) etc.
Gender change is probably unlikely, but you're still able to customize other stuffs.

So what if evie has a story? its not like she has a baby or something, So it wouldn't matter if you can be a male mage.

That can be changed and not be a problem. Hell they could make it so Edward Bella Jacob Red Forman And Chuck Norris are the five legendary heroes And nobody would care, why? Nobody ever reads in these MMORPG's.

But to bad this whole prequel is based on a story line. I would have liked it too if this was nto a gender locked game because i LOVE mage classes. And i woould have been a male mage if it wasn't. But due to the way i am, i don't ever play female chars nor do i even wish too... in all the 10 differ mmo's i played with genders, i have never played as a female, except this one. I couldn't resist trying a fiona, not because of the asthetic pleasing of how i woud like a female to be but , i have watched afk's vids and it got me goin like....that's a frikkin hot move/tactic. That is that. And yes Mr.Red, there is a story, which is really deep and though it is based on a folktale/myth, it's better than ANY of the "oh this is an evil lord/ruler we must defeat all the dark ppl and save the land and hooray we can finish" No. If you'd like i can open a thread with the entire story of mabi, then how this fit's in.

I understand you having your own opinion about what you want, but kindly do not confuse "I do not care" with "Nobody cares". I, personally, actually care about the storyline, and have actually read all the dialogues on the first playthrough.

same with me, if it's a mainstream quest..i continue to read everything, it's very interesting and gives explanation like the role Gnoll chieftain plays and his biggest rivals were Dim Gray ( who is brothers with Everwhite i think)and rampage who gnoll cheiftain used to be friends with. And that black breeze is w.e and what the Gnoll king ordered Black Breeze and rampage to do, breeze was suppose to kill you with his cheif officers but then he told rampage to stall you that's why when you got back to Aodhan he said rampage must have been a distraction and stuff, i reeli like the story and i will continue to do so. The whole yeti thing was a mistake , you found them br freak accident but you noticed they ahd psession of something which later was meant to be the goddess wing and stuff. and also, red said, they don't say "players name" thank you for w.e. Actually in, well starting from Episode 6, they start to use ur ign and say ty ex. Habskii for saving the oracle or Habskii take your men to see what the Titan is up to. Why? Because you are recognized for your efforts, right now your just a mercenary to them with talent but they havn't realized it yet. In Ep.7 you become the boss of Gwynn who is told to be your chief assistant after saaving the second Oracle....you gotta read the story man, the STORY IS< FRICKING< GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
*goes to find ep.7 ending*
