Lol ok.


I'll wait for you to provide a rule that states a new playable race must be teased before it's implemented.

And yet they went out of their way to introduce Viera- a tshirt, a raid, a nod in the lore book. Were they secretive or more vocal about both races I would be more inclined to believe 2 races.
Hmm, couldn't possibly be a common tactic used in all kinds of things called misdirection? Everyone's looking one way to then surprise with a reveal elsewhere. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

But to purposely whip up the fans at the start of SBR’s media circuit only to pull the rug out from under them? That is hard to wrap my head around.
For one, you act like they're purposely whipping up the fans, when they're more likely just trying to not spoil a surprise. Two, you act like this fanbase doesn't get whipped up over everything anyways. And three, they did exactly that with Blue Mage, having the CEO come out dressed as one, made a big dramatic show of it, to only "pull the rug out from under them" with it being a limited job. Of which they didn't even go into detail until the next day. They could absolutely do exactly the same thing with a new race.


Thats wholly the point I was making. The norm at western events = live events where you either raise your hand and a person with a mic approaches you and screens you question before handing you the mic or you line up, a person with a mic screens your question, and then hands you the mic. Thats how the original bunny outfit got through. Thats how someone asked for peaches. Thats how someone spoke about his account being frozen because of mogstation issues with his bank. At NA’s fanfest there wasn’t anything stopping me from saying “I want to request a hot air balloon mount” to the screener and asking for a butt slider if they passed me a direct line to Yoshi.
Those types of Q&A are exceedingly rare for this game, one to two a year if that and often don't last more than an hour and given translation has to happen very few overall questions get asked. The overwhelming majority of player Q&A is done via collecting questions beforehand. And even then, like I said before that you didn't address, in what reality is people asking about it going to not make him make that kind of decision in the first place? He's absolutely never been afraid to make decisions in this game that people wouldn't like and continue to ask about.

People asking about DPS meters in game time and time again haven't made them really materialize in the game. People asking for add-on support hasn't made it happen. He's far from the type of person that would just crumple under the slightest bit of pressure from the playerbase.
