Everything to know about 4.0 from the Fan Fest

Why does "non-cute" automatically translate to "ugly" to you?

I too would prefer expanded creation options over a new race, though. I just think the excuse SE gave was silly and a bit insulting.

It doesn't. Hence the quotation.

That said, I'm just not a fan of them. I doubt it's an excuse, especially if you look at Japanese entertainment. A lot of their content focuses on the "cute" aspect of things. I mean, look at Hello Kitty.

Besides the Blue and Red auras of the 2 fighters, idk if anyone else noticed that the woman has hidden blades in her gauntlets that i saw come out and miss the guy twice, and in the artwork u can see one of them sticking up.

So she might very well be a new job, using a mix of martial arts, dancing, and hidden blades (so as some guessed, she very well might be DNC after all)

Haha, because everyone loves a bit of eye candy. I wish they put more men in subligars in their promotional artwork/cinematography!

This almost seemed surprising, but then i remember they have a cash shop, with plenty of whales, Yea, i doubt this hurt in the slightest, but at least with that budget it looks to be much bigger then HW (hopefully)



And rightfully so! cute is where it's at, You never thought of the reason why Miq'ote was not a "full" furry? instead of just the tail and ears? They know what gets the attention.

Many MNK weapons use blades, as pointed out earlier; the fact that she has hidden blades doesn't mean much, and the moves she is using screams "MONK!" to me.

Doesn't she even use Shoulder tackle at some point? ( right after she changes her fighting stance )

I agree 100% with you.

Let me put it in a way to get away from the misconception that I care about them not adding a ugly race - The part where "because Japan don't want it" is THE part that gets me, because as usual it just reminds me of how often we are overlooked in favour of them; which is absolutely fine, that's the audience they can directly communicate with whereas we just have to hope our requests get through at the behest of a forum CM. Seeing something being requested by the western fanbase for months and not even be acknowledged, just to go on the Japanese section and see a request from a Japanese player asking the same exact thing get a dev response with "oh, you'd like that? we never knew - good idea but let's see as many likes as possible to judge" reinforces the notion that we barely have requests or anything passed on... and of how much that does, is ignored?

So, again, seeing that "because Japan doesn't like it" line kind of makes me reflect on that again. Whether it is an actual precise translation of what was said I don't know, but it's included in the OP and such resulted in my reply to that one guy/gal.

Ah, I see. I did note your comment about you not caring about them not adding an "ugly" race, I was actually meant to remove that part from the quote since I was replying directly to the part about the Japanese playerbase liking and wanting certain things. With that said, I actually understand where you are coming from now. I really don't have any first-hand experience or evidence of this myself so it'd be unfair of me just to accept word of mouth despite how popular that notion is but I of course lean toward believing it's a real and recurring issue, perhaps even with this game, so I can sympathise with that frustration ; Sorry for the misunderstanding in any case, I was perceiving it along a different line of thought.

I know right?! They made derplander mighty fine. (assuming he is derplander, but you never know...)
