Kiritos Female Avatar in GGO: Myth and Reality
Introduction
The popular franchise Sword Art Online (SAO), brought to life through the game Sword Song Guin Dynasty (GGO) (also known as Seed), has sparked countless discussions and theories among its fan base. One of the most intriguing discussions is around why Kirito initially had a female avatar. This article aims to debunk common myths and explore the in-story rationale behind Kirito's avatar choice.
Is Kirito's GGO Avatar a Female One?
Many fans believe that Kirito had a female avatar in the game Google Guin Dynasty Online (GGO) (GGO) because it was considered a funny or popular move. However, this widely held belief is not entirely accurate. The truth is, Kirito's GGO Avatar is a very rare male avatar with long hair.
It’s important to note that the creator's original intent may have been to add a touch of humor or fan service, but the in-story explanation offers a different perspective. Within the narrative, the female appearance of Kirito's avatar is portrayed as a mere rarity rather than a deliberate design choice. The game creators did not intentionally choose a female avatar for Kirito. Instead, it is a very rare male avatar that appears feminine due to its unique design.
Game Rules and Gender Identity
Especially interesting is how gender identity is handled in the game world. Sword Song Guin Dynasty has strict rules that prevent players from using avatars of the opposite gender. This means that every player is defaulted to their real and identified biological gender. This rule was not only for gameplay balance but also to maintain a certain level of realism and continuity within the virtual world.
However, the game does not provide information on how it handles transgender players or how the NerveGear or AmuSphere technology differentiates between binary genders. This lack of explanation leaves many questions unanswered and adds to the mystique of the game's world.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the belief that Kirito had a female avatar in Sword Guin Dynasty is a common myth among fans. The game's creators did not intentionally choose a female avatar for Kirito. Instead, Kirito's avatar is a rare male avatar with long hair, design choices which are influenced by in-story elements rather than an intentional attempt to add humor or appeal. The game's rules about gender identity and the handling of transgender players remain unclear, adding to the intrigue and mystery surrounding the world of Sword Guin Dynasty.
