Gender locked race?

[cicatriz313]

Lol I dunno why people are making "let people post what they want" posts. Like of course. It's a public forum. Post whatever you want and stop being bothered by what other people post. If you think you're being attacked there's a block button, if you disagree, reply with a rebuttal.

As for how doom and gloom things look, I think the closer we get the more I think we may actually get male Viera for whatever reason? Like nothing new has come out but it just seems like something they'd do after already caving on male bunny suits. I don't think it's a DESERVED thing, since really whatever they give us is just something we either pay for or not, but I am slightly more on the believing it'll come side now. Slightly.

Edit: Still prefer a lion male race over a bunny male race, genderlock or no.

No don't say that. Don't give me hope

[cicatriz313]

Well, slightly more than I was previously. I'm still expecting no male Viera, I'm just worried there's a chance I'm wrong.

I think, more so than yes/no bunny-boys, yes/no lions, this is what this thread boiled down to for a lot of people at this point XD

I think as long as we dont know how the males will look ingame, any wish should be okay. Be it small and skinny or masculine.

Hah, that might be their logic for not showing male Viera ever. Schrödinger's rabbit.

"Oh no, half the fanbase want tiny delicate males and the other half want bulky warriors. Either way they're going to riot."

"Um... let's just not reveal them at all, and let everyone keep imagining their own version."

I’d also be happy for tall delicate males!!

It's the opposite for me
I don't think we're getting male viera reeeeeeeee

I'm with this. I think they'll purposely keep male Viera hidden, and give us Hrothgar as consolation.

If they're similar enough to Viera, like a cousin race to Viera, based on hares instead of rabbits, it could even work out for most people. They'd cover all bases as a technicality.
"You got your bunny boys (or hare men) but male Viera are still a mystery."

When you're using counter arguments that aren't rock solid against a point of a lack of diversity that is proven to anyone who logs into the game do pardon us for feeling attacked.

Elezen may be more on the slender side, but their lanky proportions are odd and they still have a bit of bulk to them. Then as stated by several others, all the females had an injection of waifu put into them(barring roegadyn and lalafell).

So please, do pardon us for being a little less than happy that people are trying to shoot down an honest attempt at diversifying the races with a different body shape.

There's a distinct difference between being slightly unhappy and some of the comments I've seen as of late. People have the right to be unhappy when their side of the argument is met with opposition, that's human nature. Being 'slightly' unhappy doesn't give someone the right to personally attack someone outside of the actual topic. That's the point I'm making. And I'm unsure if that was sarcasm or passive aggression in the tone in your writing - if so, it does not become you. As a note, not a jab as I have to be clear. I'm not going to respond to this as I have no desire to continue an argument or something along the lines of nearing one, I simply felt an explanation was needed on why I was starting to feel the way I do just as you explained why you are frustrated - for which I understand. I hope you have the opportunity to make a male that fits your aesthetic just as I hope it can also fit mine.

As for the race; I'm prepared to be disappointed on both fronts regarding the lack of Viera and Hrothgar not being my cup of tea. But hopeful that there might be a change in the future, even if said future is very far off. Hopefully, the 'request' thread for the opposite genders for Hrothgar/Viera doesn't end up being a screamfest and something the developers will read and agree with.

Anywho, I'm going to leave it at that. I hope folks get what they desire - haha maybe they'll blow us away come fanfest and we get the best of both.

I've resigned myself to the fact we might not be getting male Viera, so I'll just be pleasantly surprised if we do at this point. I think they'll get added one way or another regardless, just going off XIV's track record with this stuff.

I'm just hoping the Hrothgar look cool. Think they'd have to be very impressive to stand out beside f Viera. I want regal lion men.
