[Request] Viera/Hrothgar Naming Conventions for Missing Genders

Oh boy, here we go.

This is not an argument about whether they should be in the game or not.

They have been confirmed to exist in the 'real' world of Eorzea even if they do not in the game programming. They have been written into the lore of those playable races' cultures, and might even get talked about (again, Queen Gunnhildr has already been officially mentioned), therefore it is not unreasonable to ask if the writers have specific naming conventions in mind for them.

[Anvaire]

I agree, that the other genders do exist to me makes it pertinent to add both naming conventions.

Its not about whether Male Viera or female Hrothgar become playable, its about allowing creativity with the game concepts.

I think it also builds up further insight into the Viera and Hrothgar culture which can only be a boon.

Not on the surface. However if SE did release such information, how do you suppose it would be interpreted by the playerbase? I won't shun the intention or genuineness behind the OP's request, but he might need to be reminded that these male Viera starved players will claw at anything that even remotely confirms that the devs are working on releasing them at some point. One could argue that it's just a naming convention for the sake of lore, but it's fuel for the fire regardless. More than likely, that is the reason for the first couple of replies this thread got.

You got a point there. Just like how some took Yoshi P's response about looking into feedback as a confirmation and are getting impatient there was no official response yet and reached the point of "they're gonna surprise us with male Viera this live letter!".

People definitely have a weird view of the amount of work necessary when they likely already have work planned out for the entire ShB patch cycle. Any progress on them for the next ~18 months will likely be done only in spare time, like BLU was.
