Would you rather have had Male Viera or Hrothgar?

[zeylos]

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 honestly wouldn't care about what race we were getting as long as it was a full race, If I had to choose personally, I would want viera, but I think it dosen't really add anything to the game.
Let's hope that by 6.0 maybe we have the missing genders implemented for both! ^^

I think people doesn't need to add "reasons" to validate a subjective taste.

If you prefer Hrothgar it's perfectly fine, as it is if you prefer Viera.

Saying that people who like X are whiny or people who like Y are obtuse only shows your own limitations.

What you like isn't what the game needs. It's just your completely subjective taste, speak for yourself. Almost everything added, every new option, every new content is good.

I don't want either. Neither of these two races nor the Au Ra have any appeal to me.

something that has been on my mind. if you don't have anything nice to say, then i suggest you don't say them at all.

While i'm highly sympathetic to those who wanted male viera, I do think the inclusion of a more 'beasty' type of race was needed for a large slice of players also. Its a very fine line, but I think overall SE made the right decision. It will be easier to (hopefully) flesh out male viera and female Hrothgar as add-ins than it would be to try to add-in a whole new race from scratch later, so I think this route offers the best promise overall.

Just my thoughts.

I'm only a catboi because there is not a better animal race tbh, so i don't want catboi 2: the redux
Ronso best cat

Another thought, what if they had just made male viera beastly. They never appeared they could do w/e with them, they already have male viera living in isolation them being more beastly could factor into that isolation.

I'd have been fine with Hrothgar having a set of bunny ears stuck on and Yoshi saying "this what male Viera look like in FFXIV."

The incompleteness of the new races bugs me, 'Au ra 2: bunny boogaloo' would have been fine by me.

Also it would have gone someway to making the beastliness of Hrothgar men gel better with the whole early game beastmen prejudice thing I think.

[Shinzo]

Fem Hrothgar would have been nice.

[KokonoeAiyoko]

Another cat race or a bunny boi.

BUNNY ANY DAY OF THE WEEK

[Zarabeth]

I would prefer both races to be male and female. Short of that, Hrothgar.

[New_Game_Plus]

I'd rather them have made their own race.

That said I was really looking forward to Male viera and my dreams were crushed.
