Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[AcornFox]

While I wouldn't want to see this implementation for male Viera (I had hoped for something more along the lines of the male highlander build) I would rather them be created in a way I don't like than not created at all.

For me i think the same, I would not be personally using male Viera. But to see them in the world would have been great. And when it comes to Hrothgar i am not getting something i want in them anyway, so i will still be wanting a beast race in game.
But i do want people that like them to enjoy them. But its disappointing not getting one thing, and then another when i feel i am not really that hard to please. Not getting both sides to one of the races, I did not even think was a possibility at this point. So it comes as a shock.
I also found out from the WoW forums. Which makes me think, maybe the devs should have been working like WoW is doing now. With potential races getting just a little bit of extra work at the start, to make them ported to a player race much more viable.

i think shorter sweeter males might have more of a chance with these alternate version of races
like the fat miqotes we might get small males and large female au ra's
could even lead up to instead of new races we get alternatives of our current races

You got my support. I was trying to ready myself for disappointment, but I guess the needle still stings even if you anticipate it beforehand. I hope they change this in the future. Ideally within the next year.

Edit: To be clear, I don't mean I expect a fully functional character model in that time, just confirmation that they're making it.

Kicking my social anxiety in the butt to include that I agree that genderlocking is complete balogne. Really depressing since this is my first ever MMO that I ever actually stuck to for more than a few days and this whole going back to genderlocking races is a complete turn off. Don't want to quit mind you I've literally have nothing else going for me but still.

I know there's probably a lot of other people out there like you who prefer not posting on a public forum, but I really hope others make an exception for this thread. It really does help

and to all you introverts out there, if you prefer not posting, that's fine, but leave a like on the first post if you want male viera

i (or we) want a stable playble race, so it not just 'male' and 'female' only.
make it like Au Ra, we got a pair of them at the start of Heavensward.

i just gonna say im 'okay' we got 2 different race at the same time at a expansion. but, yeah.
we need and want Male Viera AND Female Hrothgar.

i know it is not easy to implement a new race, but,
i believe in the Dev's power to make FFXIV an even better game.
thank you.

Please, make it real... I wanted to be a cute Viera couple so bad with my boyfriend... T_T

I'd settle for Male Viera with taller Miqoete as base model atleast

I don't normally post on the forums but hey, this is important to me so I wanna say something!

I'd like to see both male Viera and female Hrothgar. FFXIV is my favorite and only game I'm able to play and I was hoping to finally take the leap into a new race but it looks that won't be happening now with the given options. The biggest let down in this situation is that I feel like I was given false hope with the announcement of Viera and no confirmation if there would or would not be male. Pushing forward another race entirely that isn't all that different from what we already have in the game and also genderlocked only added to the disappointment and feeling that I had been lied to. Even if we can't be given the missing genders, I would at least hope we can have a better explanation than using "the lore" as an excuse.

I hope every bit of input in this thread and the many others in the other languages get read and considered. Thank you to anyone for reading this!
