More character models instead on new races

Big fat no. They would have to rework 20000+ pieces of gear for every race/gender.

If they reuse a model body from another race, they don't have to do that. The gear is already mapped to the skeleton. Ask anyone who has experience with how texture mods work, I don't though, don't ask me, I don't know anything about mods whatsoever.

They were considering it, but now that they caved to male viera and female furries it won't happen until 7.0.

Its really not the most pressing issue, not by a long shot. There are WAY more important things than male bunny boys.

They should be on the bottom of the list.

Different things are more/less important to different people. Isn't your call to make.

Making other models like Alph's playable wouldn't be any less intensive on the dev team having to make a plethora of cosmetic options AND having to fit armor models onto them than it would be for new races so I don't expect this to happen.

It's not the most pressing issue. Requests for Highlander men to have proper eyebrows, for instance, have been made long before Viera were even officially announced. I hope that the gender lock is removed someday, though at the same time I'd rather see the existing playable races given some love as no new races should have been added in the first place until they were fixed.

Butt sliders are clearly the more pressing issue.

Idk about y'all but I'd rather have more badonkadonk in my trunk for all races.

Okay sure, but something like male bunnys is not important. Its not going to make or break this game.

When you say its the most pressing issue, that means you are saying this is the #1 priority that needs to be addressed or it could hurt the game.

And my response to that is get real.

There are way more pressing issues like balancing the healers, and balancing in general. Need more end game content besides savage raiding. The end game is incredibly weak, and if they want people to stay active they need to fix that. Give people more things to do.

That is way more important than "Mah bunny bois" please, stop with the nonsense. The expansion isn't even out yet, and we have to put up with this non-stop whining? Hell this is gonna be possibly 2 years of people crying over this nonsense.

Keep your male bunny thing to a single thread and stop spreading it around.


/Rant over.

This is true too. I feel like a complete overhaul of the character creator is coming eventually since they already expanded it with all the customization they're letting people do with Viera/Hrothgar. My dream scenario would be them doing an overhauled character creator for 6.0 with the other gender options for Viera/Hrothgar to round out the races.

But as for the highlander eyebrow thing, I think the lore book says they did it out of mourning for their lost homeland. But since we fixed that in Stormblood you'd think your eyebrows would be growing back by now. :v
