You didn't know? We all have a forum superpower here and mine is, anything I touch turns to furry.

But I wouldn't actually mind that Diaper Man option. Would look a whole heck of a lot better than Baby Newyear (and I guess with the right look, a Super Gerbil character)

As far as Okami, that was one of the last good games I bought for my DS. Certainly another fine option for an animal attack mode expressed by the OP I'd be behind.

I have enough experience with Furries to say that what you have said is not always necessarily so. It may be typical, but it isn't a requirement. Several Furries out there do depict themselves as "non-morphic", which means an animal body... but they can still talk and emote and whatever.

It'd probably be better to have some real Furries come in here and try to explain it. But if that happened, this thread would melt down into a flame war about it so intense that it would crash the servers forever, or something.

It's ok, Influence. We all have other sides.

I'm female, thanks so your fantasy is going nowhere, unfortunately for you.

Oh my, but who's to say you don't turn into a big, burly, speedo wearin, orangina guzzling, tale spin grinnin', male lumberjack PANTHER?

Don't be ashamed now!

So I googled 'orangina' and 'furry' to know wtf you were going on about.

I... felt uncomfortable after watching that commercial.

Just to reiterate this point... it really doesn't matter if a dog using a sword in it's teeth or whatever is totally impossible in real life. There are plenty of things in this game that are WAY less realistic than Super Dog, with the power of Super Gripping Action, striking down foes with his Super Sword in his teeth. Realism is frankly the LAST of my concerns in this game.

As to the discussion on the theme of the game, since we already run the gamut from space invaders who are actually humans from another dimension that have genetically mutated themselves into hideous super strong super psionic badasses, to crazy cultists that summon the undead souls of millennia old wizards and embed them into the bodies of innocent civilians they pick up off the streets, to demon-summoning strippers leading armies of demigods through the physical manifestation of a network of psychics' minds, to Roman dopplegangers of the modern day characters who interact with robots and aliens and nazis and vampires and werewolves and still manage not to TOTALLY REWRITE HISTORY, I think any argument you can make about what is and isn't thematically appropriate in this game is pretty much irrelevant.

Edit: P.S. a giant boobed doggy lady with rainbow furr is already completely possible with the costume generator, so that, also, is a bad argument.

And that's justification for this? No. No. A thousand times no.

Keep it to Life of Second Fetishes, people. As much as I liked Krypto, he was still just a poor attempt to appeal to a younger generation.

And I really don't want more four-legged PCs in Pocket D >_>

That quote was in response to Bad_Influence's ramblings about rainbow booby dog girls.

The ability to play as an animal in combat wouldn't give fetishists anything they don't already have for the purpose of roleplaying. You can already turn into a coyote, and soon, a panther, you just can't fight as an animal.

Fair enough. Still, though; would it be popular enough to warrant all that frame work? Definitely not.

I'm actually starting to get kind of sold on the idea. And what I want is clearly what everyone else wants, right?


right?

Based on the recent Beta leak fiasco, the development evidently disagrees with this part.

A single AT is not a whole new wire frame for every single power set in the game. You know that.

Oh come on, give it up. Humans craft swords, animals don't - it's fine if they want to take this idea and do it but don't make such silly arguments to make a point. Come on.

Well no, it's not. I think animals with swords in their mouths would look daft. Just because there's already an option to look like something else which I also think looks silly ingame already doesn't make sword wielding wolves less silly to me.

It's not about whether it's possible or not possible in real life. It's how ludicrous it looks. It's just not something most people would take even remotely seriously.

Robots would be stupid in Middle Earth, i-Pod wearing rainbow colored dogs with huge mammaries wearing bikinis would be stupid in a superhero-themed MMO. I trust I have made my point.
Your point is also completely fallacious and pure wrong. For a start, you clearly haven't seen some of the costume abominations we can ALREADY HAVE that pretty closely fit what you just described. I mean, heaven forbid that people want 'normal' anthropomorphic characters who don't act like complete sparkledogs/weabos/whatever.

This is not 'Transformers in Middle Earth', and that is a frankly bloody stupid analogy. 'Anthropomorphic characters in the CoXUniverse, which already has crazy alien things, magic, giant robots and pretty much everything under the sun already anyway' is far more accurate.

I really hate it when people use straw men arguments...
