Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I mean it's one and the same thing - the more fantasia revenue they see, the more they can justify investing in appearance-related expenditures, which is an improvement to the product for us as consumers.

I feel like the popularity of viera in general did a good job of that. (Not sure how popular they will be when the hype of them dies down.) But it does make me wonder if SE is self-aware enough to know that most people like their game for the character design aspect/RP /fashion show than anything else. (Judging by the popularity of balmung, the "RP" server verses places like Gilgamesh which is considered a more raid orientated server.) If they knew this, I feel like they'd consider the status of male viera more heavily.

what happened over the last few days O_o

I'm just going to continue my support in this corner of Rah'tika looking for my gay bunny lover (my he loves playing hide and seek).

I hope SE keeps to the 1 neutral, 1 rugged, 1 youthful and 1 other face most the other races have, for body so long as it is not children-esqe(especially compared to females) i'll be fine with whatever.

Same, that model gives the most diversity and room to work with when it comes to character designs. You can get hella creative with those 4 options.

It's the same as NPC romance, some people don't want it around because of who wants it. They'll try to couch it in "muh resources" but it's very transparent. Anything that fleshes out and gives credulity to a world in a game that heavily depends on theme, narrative, and immersion only benefits from it.

Yeah, that's totally why the majority of us play lol. Or, maybe, just maybe, we're playing the game. Oh man, this is rich.

Anyway, [citation needed].

Our players have already greatly surpassed our expectations in many ways; they have taken the world of Final Fantasy 14 in as something that is both perpetual and natural. The reason I say it in this way is that players from around the world not only play the content we create, but also organize events and role-play on their own. One could say that many are taking residence in the world of FF14, which is changing what we need to provide — it is no longer just about creating content, but also simply providing a space to play within. I believe this is both a very strong and positive outcome for an MMORPG. The reaction toward battle mechanics and other specifics are a very small factor in comparison to this bigger picture.

Looks like they're aware about RPers

Very refreshing to see a MMO company acknowledge that RPers exist. FF14 has been the most RP friendly MMO I've played in a long time, so it's nice to see they plan on doubling down on that and making it more friendly to story tellers.

Let's see how long it takes them to "double down" on unlocking new race genders

2 to 4 years, if ever.
