Gender locked race?

[Rokke]

With people wanting so many different variants of "male Viera", that'd be almost guaranteed even if they'd reveal one.

Problem: Some people want cute, some want handsome, some rugged.
Solution: 1 cute face, 2 handsome faces, 1 manly/rugged face. Kinda like how nearly every playable male race works.

I mean yeah, but at the same time I think overall the reaction will be positive as long as what they do offer looks good. There will be those crushed because they've been wanting to be male Viera since they came into this world, but I expect the majority of players don't have such strong ties to the idea.

I think more people care than you think, in both the east and the west. I could be wrong of course, but it seems to me that a lot of people have been eager to see male Viera after so many years. Offering people something else, even if it looks good, isn't going to make people just forget about it. The Hrothgar will just open up another can of worms since then you'll be hearing from people who want a female version of that on top of the people who wanted male Viera to begin with.

I just don't see it going over well at all.

Maybe, but people have also shown interest in different body sizes and shapes.

Mhm, well - even if they'd start creating one now, you would need to wait several months into expansion for it.

Let's just see what they have to say during FanFest and panic afterwards.

Yea, that's the thing, I don't even mind waiting for the male Viera if need be. Just the idea that they're closing the door on them entirely bothers me, especially if the only reason for it is that Yoshi thought they were "weird." That's what I'd be angry about. I don't mind waiting.

I think the biggest rift I've seen are between people who want a manly tall elezen type male Viera and the little bunny boy we saw in the concept art. I honestly don't think the faces are what people are arguing about lol.

Well, they could solve that with making the two tribes different in size. Like the Midlander and highlanders are :v

Indeed. The 'cute' faces also look so very bizarre on au ra and elezen.

It'd make sense, but if they're adding an extra race it may end up being too much work. It'd be a good idea, though.

Lol, well you keep your hopes up! I honestly don't see that happening based on what we have so far. They would have to design like 4 different sets of armor for each race. I don't know how they handle changes in size now but I think a medium build to bigger build probably doesn't take a whole different design.

Doesn't the gear just scale based on the size? I mean, lalafells wear the same armor as everyone else does. It just gets shrunk down to fit them. They don't make new models for all the gear or anything.
