Worst Fanfest Ever

For the male Miquote... kind of. People took the lore from Mithra (FF11) and applied it to Miquote, which is why there were no cat boys. But as I recall, there wasn't a strong piece of lore in FF14 suggesting that male Miquote weren't possible.

Same thing with Roe... players applied Galka lore to Roe. But in both cases, Miquote and Roegadyn are not Mithra/Galka respectively. The primary reason they didn't have male Miquote and female Roegadyn was because 1.0 didn't have them (and they were working with assets from 1.0).

Viera has a very clear lore that males don't leave the forest.
We don't know the lore about Hrothgar, but they are not Ronzo from FF13, just an homage.

When people react emotionally all logic and reasoning flies out the window.

Personally I'm glad they held their ground on the lore this time rather than caving to complaints.

Better brush up on your lore then cause male Viera was definitely confirmed officially by SE lore.

At 1st I was like "damn I missed the live" because it was 2am-4am for me. Now I'm glad I missed it. I would have been upset to lose my sleep time for this.

I have a feeling that the people who are actually attending fanfest have a very different opinion.

Can't say overall, but the Dancer reveal as a DPS weren't very happy from what the twitch replay let me saw.

I look forward to the OP leading the boycott of the expansion just like he did with the Shirogane housing fiasco.

Truth of the matter is people talk a good game but won't actually do anything meaningful outside of moan about it and throw out the homophobic/sexist devs card.

It's okay to be mad that you didn't get what you wanted and I hope the devs do have a change of heart but the amount of people throwing out vitriol, losing all sense of reason and making it political is blowing my mind right now.

I honestly couldn't care less how male viera looked, they could be beefy, slender or cute and boylike. Hell, they could throw at us that actually Viera all look VERY much like females and that we actually saw both male and female when they initially announced them. But giving us cute bunny girls and some bulky roe with lion head(not even that refined ones, might I add) irks me. a lot.

They literally saved the worst for last.

I hoped there would be a reveal of something in the live letter, even just some new gear or something, but there wasn't really anything exciting.
