so while i doing the storyline and some other quest

some of the characters or npc known my character as a male in quests and they known some of the other female npcs as male

for example i was farming troll's blood and i done a daily quest and in the quest i have to save a wounded female soldier i bring her back to the npc for finishing the quest just said this

its not first time then i see this problem and its really annoying, i play with female characters and even in the main quests some times npcs known me as male

but unfortunately i don't have more screenshot from them, but if i try to do main quest again i put some more images

for other example i see this in some part of the main quest of o'dyllita i was just interested to o'dyllita and kamasylvia story and i read all the story for first time in game i mean not all of them for this examle

in one of the o'dyllita quest ataraxia thougt me and other female character are lovers in grandiha city and at first i think about gay or les***n so i don't see any prolem, and in rest of the main quest few times they talking to my character like my character is a male and not only in o'dyllita main quest

so i do lvl up with new character and i pay a little more attention to some of the readings in storys and i don't remember which quest but they called me him and game just  known u as male and i just start getting so annoying for rest of the o'dyllita story and other storylines

Well, it's pretty clear what kind of customer PA wants. Just look at the amount of female characters we have and how sexualised and stereotyped they are.

well truth is bitter for ppl who thinking like you, many ppl like to play with female characters cuz they like cute girls 

and ther is no difference between female or male character or players for PA

don't lie to your self every one like girls

maybe you don't care about female characters and u think they boring or stereotyped, but i do care about them a lot players or others

and i see someoen said its for korean language and idk about it maybe they use ony he for both genders only 

and they translate the game and it cuases this problem

This is very common throughout the game I think and it's honestly quite weird to constantly see NPCs talking about other NPCs and refering to male NPCs as "she" and female NPCs as if it was a "he".

I've always honestly wondered if it's a translation problem between Korean and English. I don't know how pronouns work in Korean, maybe they're more vague gender-wise and whoever does the translations doesn't see the model of the person and so is just left guessing from the name? I don't think it's just sexism since as you say there are several instances where a male model is referred to as "she."

 

That or maybe the NPC models are different between versions of the game? The former seems more likely though.

It really irks me when the main story characters refer to my chars as he/him. I almost exclusively play female chars and it just reminds me that the game is not aimed towards players like me, they always just assume that it's a male player IC or OOC. I know it's probably just localisation issues but still, even something small like that can really change the perception of a game. Where is the attention to detail? Hell, just hire me and I'll highlight the errors myself...

It is exactly this. Korean does not differentiate between genders normally unless a character is explicitly mentioned as female. Thus, unless the localization people can see the models or get notes from Korea about the gender of every single character, you end up with a lot of errors of this type.

It would however be nice if they did like other games of the genre in which the game can change the gender NPCs use to refer to you at least, because it does not do that.
