Worst Fanfest Ever

[Xilibrius]

[Ayer2015]

Calling it the worst fanfest because they didn't live up to what you wanted is extremely immature. People will always be unhappy no matter what they decide to do, they can't cater to what every single person wants.

No new healer job for what will be 6 years seems like a valid reason to be salty to me.

Sure, Hrothgar are fine - but they are not an excuse for the absence of male viera.

You make it sound as though they were obligated to give it to you.

Uh, duh! They were absolutely obligated and since they didn't, they're homophobic!

[KeyboardFacerollname]

Then, that's a you problem specifically if the option is available and you just want to ignore it. You don't get to whine and say there's no feminine option available when nothing is stopping you from a rolling a female character to play a very feminine race.

There's a difference between "feminine" and "female".

They want bishonen. Less broad shouldered, less muscle definition, shorter height, etc.

Just consider them a single animal race with female bunnies and male lions. Problem solved.

gender locking races is so stupid

We literally had this already with Roes and Miqo'te and they FIXED it after everyone wanted the options. Why the heck would we go back to gender locking races????

I'm guessing so they only have to do half the work of modeling while still announcing they're adding 2 new races to the game. It's a marketing gimmick.

No, there's not. They're one in the same. You can't just change the definition of words just to suit what you want for an argument.

THEY ARE NEARLY THE SAME. If you're getting called "feminine" and you're a guy? Someone is basically saying that you have female features and look like a woman. In which case, what does it matter whether you play an actual female Viera over a male one that looks like a woman?

Heavansward launched with Astrologian 4 years ago, not 6. I mean yeah it's a long time, but I think people need to stop going in having such specific expectations and getting all upset when they don't live up to said expectations. Just because the player base posts what they want in the game all over the internet doesn't mean they have to cater to exactly what everyone wants. There's only so much they can do and expecting them to live up to everyones expectations is pretty silly.

Look up Bishonen and Yaoi art. That's what they want.

Diminutive, pretty males. But still males.
