I would like to show my support for the Devs and the gender-lock of the new races.

[Campi]

I find it just sad how ludicrously entitled alot of ppl playing this game are. "I WANT A PINK PONY NOW AND IF I DONT GET IT SE ARE AGAINST ANIMALS; BURN THEM ALL!" like grow up already. it's a game, not your personal erp playground. I seriously hope Se wont add male viera or female Hrotgars, I hope they wont be swayed by all the crybabies. And if ppl quit the game over this? good riddance.

100% agree with you

Looks like the erp-com is hard toxic o:

[Shurrikhan]

Imagine being so petty that you don't want more options added to the game because you don't like that people complain.

So you'd rather we didn't get Hrothgar, in order to get equal gender representation of Viera?

Did you intend to change to a male Viera?
If so, I'm sorry.
If not, it just sounds like self-righteous moralizing.

I'm looking forward to changing to Hrothgar.

False ultimatum much?

Though, yes... yes I was, if it actually followed the concept art this time.

[Emmanellain]

I don't understand how you can't respect the devs and also express that you want opposite sexes for the new limited races?
90% of the people asking for male Viera and female Hrothgar are actually giving constructive feedback and exchanging fan artwork considering Yoshi announced they would be open for the feedback?
a lot of us have loved Viera since 2006, and being able to actually play a male Viera has never been an option, now they can give the fans and old fans an exclusive FFXIV take on the male Viera.
As for the ones that are miffed, and disappointed.
That's not entitlement, people just feel let down that SE is going back to the genderlock they themselves admitted was a mistake in 1.0 and practically said they wouldn't go back to.
If the community never see the shadow of a female Hrothgar or Male Viera, that's that.
If we get them in 6.0, it's a win/win, so I see zero point in fighting the people that want to end the genderlock.
but that's just me.
I'm pretty sure everyone can agree the development team work on a really tight schedule and allocate a ton of extra hours into this content, I don't think a single person here doesn't appreciate the creators. In the end they're the ones who decide what content we get.

I just dont get it in which way male Viera or female Hrothgar will hurt your gameplay?
If you are against it, fine by me. Im not here to convince people, but just go play the game as it is then?
But if people come up with lore or their immersion as a point, it makes me shake my head. NPCs that might have to change cause of lore or people that use arguments like "homophobic" or "ERP" are just extreme exaggerations.

There are enough things that break the lore and soon enough our Prince Lucis is gonna appear in Eorzea, which is totally normal right?
Beside you find in total maybe 2 moon keepers in the whole game, for a male race that is very much non existent but a playable race.

So I dont understand why people are voting for genderlocks because they do not lose anything from it. It looks rather that people enjoy the tears and salt of others, which just proves my point.

Well too bad for you that now they're asking for feedback and reconsidering their mistake about being sexist

Except they're not sexist.

After reading tons of player's accusations against the Dev team, I hope they never release male Viera and female Ronsos. Devs shouldn't fall into that kind of traps.


All my support to the Devs, and shame on everybody who feels entitled enough to call them sexists with no evidence at all.

Just play the game like it is and the devs make it?

You don't need the male viera to play the MSQ, you don't need it to do any content, you even don't need it to do rp. :>

So I don't unterstand why ppl are voting for male viera, because they don't lose anything. It looks like they just don't want that something is unique. I don't need to have everything.
Looks like the ppl enjoy the complainment with "sexist", "homophobic" and stuff like that :shrug:

Voting against the gender-lock : Increasing options and variation in the game

Thanks SE for listening to your players and giving us not only 1 but 2 new races for shadowbringers!

Not only do you give us the long wished Bunny race you also give us a more beastlike race many players were asking for.

Most ppl understand, that developement time, staff and ressources are not infinite.

Then why don't we have an infinite number of races, classes, Armor, Dungeons etc.? Anything less than infinite would be limiting options and variation in the game, right?
