I would like to show my support for the Devs and the gender-lock of the new races.

Some people love to make assumption on how SE manages their development resources.
As if SE will just dump resources on developing the gender counterparts without careful planning on how it'd affect the rest of the developments.

Hey it's what Yoshi P said when he explained to peope why Viera will probably be the last race added to the game

Anyone read this yet?

"With FF12, there are only female Viera appearing in the game. Due to that, we have no design references for the male versions. If we did create a male design for the Viera, he would be quite elegant, handsome, and slim. He would look more like the Elezen race, but with bunny ears.

What we were missing from the lineup of playable races was someone who looked more powerful and laser-focused on battle, while looking quite fierce. Implementing that kind of race, the dev team could bring more kinds of enrichment to this type of fantasy game. To fulfill player feedback as well as the dev team, we put the two races together."

He makes a valid point.

Don't care about this.

It's a video game, not a simulator for your fetishes.

Why do people keep bringing this up? lol. These are some low-tier strawman tactics.

Most people: "Guy bunnies and big girl cats would be cool."
You: "Clearly you just wanna bang a furry."

Like...what? I mean, yeah we all know ERP is a thing, but let's be real, you don't really think everyone asking for the gender counterparts wants to engage in said form of RP. You bring up ERP because it's easier for you to slap a label on 'em and dismiss their argument that way.

So why are you a lalafell you clearly have a fetish for those small potatoes else you wouldn't be one :rolleyes:

seriously not everyone wants to be a human(hyur) when playing a game and not everyone is requesting these genders to sexualize them

Because I thought a pint size hero would be humorous and contrast the stereotype of the "The Hero" being a large hulking pile of muscles and badass.

Why do people want to play a bunny boy?

Because role-playing as a male viera who broke tradition and left behind his mentor and duty out of a sense of wonder for what lies outside of the wood is a compelling character niche.

At least that's what I assume for some.

simplest answer because they want to
my answer because i just like the image of Viera being strong capable warriors who are proud without being pompous and i don't like playing female characters

This is actually one of the strongest arguments I have read in support of male Viera. It's these kind of expressions that will catch the attention of the devs. Bravo sir, and touché.

Whatever offensive word you like using to strawman and generalize people who want male viera. No skin off my nose really.

That's what it's literally called. Nothing offensive about it.

Ah yes, because there's nothing dismissive or offensive about stating people who want a male counterpart to viera are most likely comparable to pedophiles or have a fetish for young boys. Of course a call to remove genderlocks only exists for perverts and deviants to act out their strange homoerotic fetishes.

You're really showing the breath of your wit and understanding of all sides of the argument here on these forums. Puts me to shame really.

You didn't even use the correct word. 'Shotta' is Jamaican slang for a gang member...

It is offensive. You are putting assumptions where they don't belong. The way you are using it is offensive.
You are intentionally making up the reasons that people have for playing mViera.

Clearly. you are. You're the only person talking about it.

People who throw around accusations like these sound like they're projecting to me.

There's literally a thread about it
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/f...threads/386263

Please stop engaging with MPK. She's just trolling. She makes a point of screwing up people's BA runs whenever she can in the most insufferable ways. I've had the displeasure of having to deal with her ingame. She's just trying to get a rise out of all of you.

My suggestion is just stop posting in this topic period unless you're in support of the genderlocks (for whatever reason). This will be my last post in here. :v

To be fair, MPK and BA groups have long put their differences aside and since then have done many fun runs together lol.

As for gender lock, I support people voicing their opinions to the devs to remove it without accusing the devs of some sort of hidden agenda as some vocal minority were doing.
