Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

So this thread is to blame for people whining about Viera being gender locked? Did you not know the lore behind the race you begged to be added? They were female only from the very beginning so why would you beg for them to be added then whine about Yoshida staying true to their origins and making them female locked? It makes no sense. It is beyond ridiculous that people beg for something without knowing the lore behind it then get psychotic and spam him with death threats when he adds them and stays true to their original lore.

This thread hasn't been touched in 3 months and you bring it back to complain about it? >w>

Male Miqo'te also weren't a thing in XI or XIV 1.0 due to lore reasons. I guess we should be happy that sometimes SE just makes things work, eh?

I do kinda find it funny to think of people requesting a race that's been female only in all the games they appear in with the expectation that they would get a male they like out of it.

Like, if you're and Viera fan you are a fan of female rabbit people ... That's what you got. You have examples of how they look in the games and you know what to expect.

Just looking at the male topic shows how much of this is just people wanting their personal vision to come true. Be it the ones who want beefy dudes or the creepy shota boy fans or the ones who want female looking males or those who want them to be shorter than the females and so on and so on. Its all just a few people debating over head canon cause they don't show up in the games once. This is not the case with HROTHGAR seeing how thr closest looking thing to them are ronso which have a confirmed female look.

It's doubly amusing to me that both you and Klonoa are sporting race/gender combos that weren't a thing in 1.0, yet you seem to take issue with people wanting Viera to also share in the luxury that is both male and female options.

The guy who made FF12 supports the idea of male Viera, and male Viera, while not seen, do exist. They are more territorial over land and food sources, so they live separately. I'd imagine males in that cannon who couldn't get a territory of their own would probably leave and adventure to find their own territory, which sounds similar to Sun Seeker males leaving to adventure to get stronger so they can be a nunhe one day. I personally wouldn't play a male Viera, but it would have been cool to see FF14s take on it.
What is worrying me is that all Viera seen so far in FF14, excluding Fran, have the exact same ear tuffs. I want diversity in ears, dammit! There's diversity in Miqo'te tails, please let Viera have some ear diversity.

What really make no sense is no female Hrothgar, they are based on Ronso that had females everywhere, seems like a cop-out.

Ya... Lore is not the reason we have locks this turn around. This turn around its well they wanted to give us two races instead of one and couldn't finish a full set of each. So they went with a male on one side and female on the others. With potential of completing them at a later undisclosed time.

Though I swear, this forum finally got peaceful. Why did you want to stir things up again!

Right? It's the old "I got mine so screw y'all" mentality. Rather sad.

Someone suggested a drinking game to take one shot everytime someone goes out pro-genderlock while using a previously-genderlocked option. I joked that it'd kill us by alcohol poisoning but... it's sounding less like a joke

Did I beg for it to happen though? No I did not. Did I send death threats to Yoshida? No, I did not. Those getting upset about Viera are doing both those things. There is also the fact that Viera have been female only since the GBA age, a lot longer than a single game that got messed up so badly that it was retconned all the way back to it's beginning.
