Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[jake200135]

The only main reason as to why I can think they don't want Male Viera might be simply because the race isn't an original race to FFXIV.

The FFXIV dev team might not even have control over how they create the race due to rights being with Square-Enix and the creator of Fran/Viera race from FFXII if they deem the race only to be shown as female then there's nothing the 14 dev team can do but even if that was the case the dev team should be a little more open about it.

I for one ain't too bothered about the whole matter as others are as I'm never going to change my character anyways and it just seems like a minor issue compared to other things which have a far more larger impact on the game, I'm more worried about actually new/fresh varied content coming from the new expansion without it feeling like the same old boring formula from previous expansions.

And why can't we be bothered by both? FFXIV makes enough money for Square that they can damn sure put more budget into this game. I want more varied content for this game, but I also want a removal of gender locks on races. That's not asking for a lot. Worrying about one doesn't negate the other. Plus, they may start with limiting jobs, and then limiting races, but what will they limit next? We pay a monthly subscription for this game, we don't deserve to have the game be limited.

The creator of viera has come out and said he didnt give a "no males" order.
(Though I forgot where the tweet was so someone more savvy will have to find it for you)

Ah ok I wasn't aware of this since I haven't seen it myself.

In this case, not talking about you but in general who brings up resources, people do not dislike genderlocks but new races being introduced and implemented in the game.

I mean, its quite okay that mHrothgar and fViera is playable in 5.0, but it would be a waste of resources to see opposite genders?
Sounds to me like some people are rather just extremely salty and try to use every small excuse to counter what people wish for.
I can also say fViera and mHroth should of used for better and new content. But I am not. Why? Because there are players who enjoy it.
So maybe some people should just sit down and chill their butts.

I'm more neutral tbh if they don't add males then I'm fine with it but if they do add males then I also fine with it just doesn't really affect me with either choice.

At the end of the day are players going to quit the game because of it? I don't think so and that is why I say its minor and why I mention the content from the new expansion as an example as that's going to probably going be the main reason why I'll be still playing for another 2yrs not because of character creation restrictions. (even tho I've seen players saying they are quitting over genderlocked races)

Also everyone has their own wishlist of things that they want to be added to the game but not everyone's wish can be granted or in this case if they do decide to add both genders in the future its just not going to be priority at this very moment.

And why can't we be bothered by both? FFXIV makes enough money for Square that they can damn sure put more budget into this game.

If u read my post I said "I" not "everyone" other players can be bothered about both I never they can't but I'm sharing my opinion on it and it doesn't affect me either way if they add males or not as I stated I'm never going to change my character so it's only natural for me to care more about other things in the game.

Also limiting jobs already kinda exists because you can only focus on gearing one of your jobs due to the tomestone weekly restriction on new expansions/updates. If you want to do the latest endgame content you have to limit yourself due to the tomestone limitation.

Ah, the good ol' classic "if you read my post". I did read your post and I presented a counter argument to it. I'm allowed to do that on a forum. Plus, my comment about limited jobs was a knock on them limiting BLU.
