Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Canadane]

So we're almost at a month since the announcement...
When are we going to get an update from the devs???

What update is there to get?

[zeylos]

Ok it's honestly getting really annoying on how they are announcing things for the new races and after so long we STILL don't have any response. And they probably already know what and when and maybe even how they are going to do so it's not like they can't give a response

[zeylos]

What update is there to get?

They stated on an interview that they were going to make a statement due to the extremely hard backlash received on gender locking

[Canadane]

Same tactic as the male bunny suits.
Maybe Yoshi-P has a rabbit allergy?

But I suspect nothing to come if it. At least not for a very very long time.

Makes no sense for them to reveal new genders/races before 6.0 other than a generic we're considering it and steal the thunder from 6.0 but I suppose we'll see.

What you see as them "stealing the thunder" from 6.0 would allow them to get ppl 10 times more hyped for shadowbringers with only needing to show a concept art and saying they are coming. Also I repeat once again that you don't know if they are coming in 6.0 7.0 or 5.1,so they could very well be coming in the expansion, and that is due to the fact that the reason as to why they only did 2 models was because of fear of further support for them, not because they were that hard to make

In so far as an actual response after 'looking into the feedback', I should hope we'd get something during May, between the PLL and some press tour they're supposed to have.
If they decide to add the missing genders after that though, it's anyone's guess as to when. 6.0 is the most likely but by then there'll be a tons more gear to fit so they might actually try to push it earlier, also to try and win back as many people as this might've cost them.
Longer it takes, less likely people are to come back over this.

Cause new races announcement are big and sell expansions. Whatever you can think what you want... we'll find out soon enough. I don't think they will announce any new races/genders before then and that's my opinion. You can disagree and hope for something else.

5.1? Seriously? Ok if you say so.

The lack of response is troubling and gutless on their part. It doesn't take this long to render a decision, which could mean that they've made a decision they know people won't like.

The ray of hope is that maybe instead of that, there is a lot of internal debate going on about what to do, and they've yet to suss out exactly what they're going to do and that's why there is no announcement. If that's so, Yoshi-P needs to hand over some creative control to others, so that it's not just his desires and biases that control the creative direction of the game.

5.1? Seriously? Ok if you say so.

Yes I say so and like you just said it's my opinion an one that's as valid as yours, also it is certainly a possibility just like it is that we get them at 5.2 5.3 5.4 or 6.0
