Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Couple that with no graphics upgrades and I might not have the ‘resources’ to sub to the game anymore. Funny how that works.

Cool. Your choice. It happens. I stopped playing a lot of games when they ceased to hold my attention. I know I'd love a graphics update, item system overhaul and the rest.. but if they keep releasing story and gameplay I enjoy, I dunno. I'll be around for a while. Come whatever may all the false hopes in the world won't change anything but your own disappointment.

Trust me that them teasing them as NPCS and then saying no would be even worse than fanfest

That wouldn't be a tease though. If they outright declared that the NPC was the ONLY instance of that gender in the game, the problem would entirely be with people making up their own incorrect assumptions.

Saying it wouldn't be a tease is like saying YoshiP was fine when he was asked about male viera and he said: there is one more fanfest. They already said they'll be more transparent from now on, and I expect them to do so with this as well, even though I doubt they will put other genders ONLY as NPC

No.. that was a really bad decision and misleading. Putting in an NPC and declaring that unless otherwise stated male viera would not be playable would be being transparent.

I'm trying to logic at you but every response you give has baseless optimism and assumptions.

Many of you probably have not played the previous Final Fantasy online…. Where they did this very thing. As I said previously, many people asked for male Mithra since launch in NA, I know I did. I sent an email or two and received one basically saying vaguely what we recived now in the current live letter, “We aren’t doing it at this time”. SE will never give a straight out “No” and given from my experience, we will not get anything different from what we have been given so far. At best, they will probably do what they did in XI and just add the race as a NPC.

Many of you are clinging on because they just haven’t said an outright “No”, and more power to ya. I stayed that way the whole time I played XI, all the way up until XIV released and saw the same thing. Granted, they did finally change it with Reborn, I doubt that’s gonna be the same with Viera/Hrothgar (it took the world exploding for that change)

As much as I would like to see the races added (They aren’t missing seeing as they were never planned to be added in the first place) I’m actually fine because I got what I wanted and that was a beast race. Ever since I saw the Lupin, I wanted nothing more than to play as them, and now I sorta get to do that.
