Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[zeylos]

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.

Also, I remind you that the team working on 11 was not the same that's working on 14,and for the 13th time, why do u think they felt like they HAD to implement Viera somehow? /(clue:it has to do with an NPC on the ivalice raid that's popular, has dark skin, white hair and is a Viera)

I wonder if people who keep saying this was ever actually around for WoD.

I wasn't around for WoD but I've hear that it's basically the worst expansion ever to wow, Nd that they lost more subscriptions than with BFA

So you admit to not having been a part of it. Then might I suggest you stop riding on the WoD train? Given what we know so far about ShB, it's nothing close to being what WoD was. If you choose not to like a game because you can't have your way with male Viera that's fine. But WoD's major problem was that it lacked any content. FFXIV has, so far, always been feeding the player base various forms of game content.

I never said I didn't like this game because 'I can't have my way with male viera' and also I'm not saying the expac will have no content, I'm saying I'm afraid hat content could end up being as amazing as Eureka and limited jobs

No, Viera was added because people have been asking for it since way before Ivalice, just going to point that out.

So, to me that sounds like you got what you wanted which is amazing. Also you seem to be using the argument thats been used t0 times before which is ffxi. I remind you that miqote was also gender locked like mithra, and you can't go for 5 minutes without seeing a catboy here. Let's also not forget that that game is extremely old, and players now expect much more different things from videogames

While the game may be old, the concept is the same. Race that only had females represented, people wanted males as well, was never given an definitive answer and was eventually added as an NPC. So by that logic, we won’t see Male Viera until the next FF MMO.

You also must not have read my post, because I clearly said I was around when the game first came out and Miqote was female only, and that it took the game dyeing and being reborn before we got males.

All I am saying, given SE record with this same very thing in yet a different Final Fantasy MMO, we should expect pretty much the same, hell, the live letter low key says this.

I'd also like to add before someone comes pointing fingers and saying, "See, this kills games!" that the genderlock was far, far from the reason FFXIV needed to be rebooted.

[dustdjinn]

False. What happened was them trying to please both groups to a degree capable within their means. A finger to both camps would have been implementing Moogles as a playable race.

I would have loved to play as an ivalician moogle. They're bestial but also cute!!!

Do you have a link to that WHM-Lilies info? I fear I've missed that

It's a remark during the guest room meetings with Yoshi. It didn't specifically reference the lillies, just what Zeylos said.

[grinkdaboy]

i think it would've been funny if they had added the qu from ff9 instead because they're genderless
