Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[TheMerfox]

It's completely mind boggling to me that they'd even consider pulling something like this after the fiasco they've dealt with during 1.0. Gender locking a race is never acceptable.

yet another +1 for making an account just for this thread

for everyone whos making fun of people saying this is done because of homophobia - i would recommend you ask yourself why a company would actively refuse to make "sexy" male characters (unless they can somehow make it into a joke, like the male bunny outfit) or "manly/unattractive" female characters.

also, in case you think the LGBT+ backlash against all of this is silly, make sure to /tell your local roegadyn females and catboys wearing pink or skirts and ask them how many times they got harassed over the kind of character they play in game.

I'm only saying this because I find it interesting to know, and maybe some insight to help those of you who don't know this out. They made Hrothgar connect to the Ronso, which is an existing race from Final Fantasy X, specifically a character named Khimari Ronso, who fits the exact same design (lion type humanoid). It's not just some fur slapped on a Roe, it's technically an existing thing that has no real info other than that connection, so I am curious to see how that develops...

As for the Male Viera situation, I do agree that it seems a bit odd that they would do this sort of thing, considering the Lore excuse doesn't really fit too well. Also, if it's in concern to not wanting to finally reveal what Male Vieras look like, than that makes no sense either since they have had enough chances to do so. It makes me very sad that we all as a collective, who pay a fair amount for the game, expansions, and sub fees, should be given a little more of what we ask for. I always thought I was of a few who wanted to appreciate the male Viera in this game, and I may have gotten my hopes up a little more than I should have, knowing the stigma behind it all. The fact of the matter is, no hate or disdain towards anyone or anything, but I hope that, if not now, that one day soon we will be given the male Viera as a playable race, and more development will come forward as to the connection of the Ronso.

most people can't be bothered to check the official forums, or to register for the first time, but if they really want male viera, they will make this exception

what is that?

[MrKimper]

what is that?

Eh I wouldn't pay attention to that guy, probably a troll from 4chan. They've been screencapping these and the threads already on resetera about this to mock them.

I think they Disappointed me several times with this.

Making only female Viera makes it dispointing to me, as a player. Not to even see the males as a female of the race is not exactly Immersing.
Will we even know what they look like.

But also with Ronso, First. I am disappointed with the males. They do not look beast like and do not look like someone designing from a beast like place. They get the heads and the tail, and some fur, But not a beast like race at all.
The lack of females for them is a massive let down, as its likely we wont see another race like it now.
They just look like they got the go ahead to be the male race to go along with the sexy Viera. Since they do not care about the viera more than that

When they do single gender races, they need to put in more work to make it work. It needs to be some of there best work to make it feel natural and part of the world and i just do not think they are doing that.
Sometimes its more about perception of what you are doing than specifically why you do it, But i think with this they have burned away a lot of my good will with them.

I wont be unsubbing, as i was going to be playing a female Viera. But to not see males is going to be weird if they do not show up at all in anyway. They are a Important part of the race identity no matter how rare they think they should be.
