Would you rather have had Male Viera or Hrothgar?

Also it's quite interesting how the two switch first place all the time. To me this seems like both are more or less equally wanted, although more players might say male viera because they feel bitter of the genderlocks

interestingly, the thread i posted on the japanese forums was deleted. however i still have the poll. out of 89 votes, 75% preferred hrothgar and 25% preferred male viera. one the posts i saw in the thread, they wondered why they were adding races from ff10 and ff12.

Thanks for at least trying, confirms to me that the JPN side of this forum is looked at much closer and is modded differently.

And between the poll you posted there, this poll and the one GameFAQ poll I saw on this seems like many people see the value in the Hrothgar.

Count me down as someone who thinks they should've implemented both male and female hrothgar rather than viera, even though viera is my preferred aesthetic and I'll likely never switch to a hrothgar even on an alt. The hrothgar bring a completely new aesthetic to the table - but the way they've done it, you can only go beastly if you want to play a dude.

I'm hoping part of the reason for the decision was because introducing one full race would've meant closing the door on the other, and this way they get both of them in the game and leave a foothold for adding the other genders if time/resources/finances allow - whereas if they'd chosen just one it might've been next to impossible to get the other later.

Pretty positive this is the exact reason why they did it this way. Yoshi-P sounded like he really wanted to add both races with both genders, but is extremely wary/worried about doing so due to the reasons he stated in that letter - all very valid reasons. Hopefully the next two years or so will give him the resources and make him more confident, but at the end of the day I do fully accept the reasoning behind it all.

That said, would love to see female Hrothgar. I'll be switching to Viera for now, but if female Hrothgar do come, I'll happily fantasia right on over.

I'm kinda sick of hearing this "competition" going on (not targeted toward you). Fact is - if Male Viera do come, then you best believe Female Hrothgar will too and vice versa. They aren't going to randomly go on the NA forums, look at a poll and say "Oh, a very small portion of the NA population has voted in favor of THIS race. Well then guess we'll just do that one!"

I'd go with Hrothgar.

Easy choice - Hrothgar

[Naria]

I'd rather have had one complete race. Personally I'm more interested in male Viera, but female Hrothgar might have appealed as well. As it is the genders they went with ended up being the worse set of choices for me. -.-;

I was looking forward to creating a male viera, but I have absolutely no interest in hrothgar in any capacity.

I don't have any intentions on playing female hrotgar, but if they only make male viera I will be very mad

[FoxyAreku]

I think that honestly they should have gone female hrotgar over female viera, and then perhaps added a full viera race in maybe 6.0

Yeah, that would have been ideal.

Or no viera at all. We really didn't need another human race, but people cried for it so much I guess it was inevitable.

I would of preferred Male viera but I'm not upset about Hrothgars inclusion. It's a style of character needed in this game and I can't wait to get my hands on the creation tools when the benchmark drops.
