Whatever they invest resources into there's going to be someone like you. To some raids are a waste. To others, mini-games are a waste. Just because you think X is more fun doesn't mean that they'll cut elsewhere just because you enjoy X content.Quote:

06-29-2021, 05:56 PMzeyloshttps://www.instagram.com/p/BwbxUxxlqDF/ This was posted in their insta way before benchmarkQuote:

06-29-2021, 06:39 PMHalivelOmg, I completely forgot about these ones XD well maybe they will post something then, at around... September, as you first assumed (since 5.0 bench was released in May and these posts were done in April)Quote:

As can be seen, amongst males, Au ra and Hyur over-take Lalafell in the west, and amongst females, Viera do the same. I don't have the figures readily available but female Viera began at around 12% of the proportion of all active players as measured by that survey, and settled at c. 7-8%. There's many reasons you can attribute that to, but I don't think the situation with the head pieces and hair helped.
Anyhow, I agree that they first need to get the house in order with regard to existing races etc. -

You're wrong as well as the person you're replying to. Try another logic, because the reasoning of this is just tragic. Hint, it's on the first page.
The OP also did a request thread for viera back in Heavensward time. Go take a look at that, too.
They were told how to feel by SE. They committed to the limitation the moment they bought the fantasia.Quote:
Tell existing Viera players about how the feel when new hairstyles coming out.
So what about those who lost out when they only released female viera ? Doesn't matter right.Quote:
Even when 51% of players get their male Vieras, 49% of all other players get nothing in return.
These past two years have been those who wanted to play male viera getting nothing in return until now. Two years. I would sacrifice hair if it meant I could play male viera. There are female viera complaining about hair whilst I can't even play a viera of my choice. Let me remind that Viera is huge content, lore wise, character wise, FF wise, and more. All of that is culminated in the perspective and reaction on the opposite end of those "who got nothing in return" and had to wait years for
What player can say that they have not ever gotten nothing in return whilst others get things ? -
07-01-2021, 10:36 PMCaitlynMiqo'te or Au Ra players waited 4-6 years to have at least a 1-2 tiny options in their character customization. But got nothing since then. Nada.Quote:

I dont think its a big suprise that they add the male Viera now, since concept arts are there since Heavensward. I assume they just didnt make in time, so they are releasing them in Endwalker. I mean, when they can easily add hairstyles each patch, why not additional tails, ears, face options, etc?
The whole point is: yes, they can add male Viera. But after 6 years of waiting, I would love to see something new for existing races, too! -
07-01-2021, 10:45 PMKobalos
People still arguing huh? Meanwhile I have created an alt that I am currently powerlvling in time for Endwalker to be bunny boi
-
07-01-2021, 11:33 PMConundrumI have a very old alt (from 1.0) that I moved to crystal and recently bought a level skip for and have him parked in the Gold Saucer farming MGP. And will also start farming events for him, but not playing the story.Quote:

Seems like male viera are officially shorter than the females.
-
07-10-2021, 02:48 PMHunkyI was hoping they'd be between Highlander and Elezen, so I'm a little bummed out about it, but they look so good. They did end up being taller than Midlanders and Miqo'te though.Quote:

Aestician hair unlocked for Female Viera (male too maybe?) Look at the Ninja AF gear preview
-
07-10-2021, 05:45 PMSpiralMask
in the AF screenshot prints yoshi showed off a hrothgar was wearing the WAR helm, SMN viera was wearing the circlet/horn, so hopes are hesitantly higher than previous--though there's always completely unethical and against ToS bad illegal modifications that already fix the great majority hats/hair issues for those two races with a single install that exist right now at this point.
not that i would advocate that. -
07-10-2021, 05:49 PMFukuroHOW DID I MISS THAT HROTHGAR WITH THAT HELMETQuote:

Male viera look pretty bad to me overall. Definitely not for me; they aren't my style of males. I appreciate what the team over at SE did however. Now that hairs are being added to female viera (modern aesthetics it looks like), I'm pretty glad about that.
I wish male midlander got male viera height, it'd be about just right for them. -
07-12-2021, 05:04 AMgrinkdaboy
i feel pretty satisfied with what we were given
-
07-12-2021, 05:15 AMJuzjuzzSame here i have 1 face that i can feel satisfied with (but at that point i'm hesitating going just au ra/midlander) but the rest is really not my thing. It's way to mutch on the delicate side. Not even 1 face is more "rougth" or elezen like, the huge bratz doll eyes ruin some faces, thick lips for unholy purposes, makeup options... It's clear what type of ppl will enjoy thoose.Quote:

Worst part about this is that i actually like the male viera on the artworks they show on the official site. xD -
07-12-2021, 05:20 AMRokke
tfw born with lips for unholy purposes
Personally, Im pleased that i get a race that has multiple options with visible upper lips. most faces only have 1, if any. -
07-12-2021, 05:38 AMJuzjuzzI just don't like having big lips with a super delicate face. That's it :pQuote:
