Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

The sad part is now they've given female Hrothgar a reason to be excluded. It's now a lot less likely for a Hrothgar female to go adventuring then a male Viera.
It's extremely disheartening that they went ahead and gave them such lore in the first place,

Now that you bring this up.....
If we get Male Viera and no Female Hrothgar....will they get a Thread pushing 800? XD

Idk, but I would certainly be mad. My intention is to switch my main to male viera and go back and forth betwen male viera male midlander and female hrotgar, and switch my tanking alt to a hrotgar queen (also, my current healer/ranged dps alt whos a fem viera to femroe), so I REALLY hope we get both, not just one

Like there were people saying ""The Hrothgar were a mistake. Delete them so we can get Male Viera""
So now I wonder how much and how many people would care if the Hrothgar got shafted. Cause no matter how many times I see the occasional person say "Unlock The Genders" or "Both races should be Complete" We know the Viera crowd is the loudest one on this subject.

The shared picture actually doesn't look too bad, but the ears are way too small, and the clothes they are wearing well... The left one looks better, in my opinion.

Yeah, it's a nice bit of art. Agreed on the left one being better.

[SturmChurro]

I personally like both outfits, The left one looks like a cool blacksmith and the right one looks like a cool white mage, but I do get why it isnt your fashion choice ofc (Actually, the guy with the crop top looks kinda like what I'd wear irl lol). This ears, imo, should be the smallest (maybe the minimum should be a bit bigger tbh) of the ear sizes

It would probably be a logistical nightmare. They are still actively working on what we already have, and hrothgar are definitely getting the short end of the stick, unless they really go above and beyond with the new custom hair/faces.

Yeah, I'm not seeing blacksmith or White Mage in either of those outfits. The ears just look like longer miqo'te ears.

I think the Hrothgar are actually very popular. They are like the most popular large race currently actually, if I remember right. Thing about beast races is I think males are usually infinitely more popular, most definitely for larger races. Female hrothgar just don't have much demand.

I don't think Gwen was saying that, unless you're talking about someone else?

Personally, I don't care about female hrothgar much, but I do want them added for the people who want that.

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Yeah, I got kind of tired of Viera, had a good run, but I am back to miqo'te. Hated that I couldn't wear preview headgear, including hats, plus all my hair I paid for/worked for in-game was locked out. I didn't think it would bother me so much. This will be a big problem with males too, for me especially.

One reason I play males, specifically as humans is because they are more normal/neutral and helmets look great on men. Viera obviously having no access, plus on top of that no access to hats kind of sucks.

That wouldn't happen.

Female ronso already has an established look. They would just look like female hrothgar; animalistic.

It was a hypothetical anyway, lol. Already said it probly wouldn't happen :P

And yes, the female RONSO (FFX) has a look, but then translating that over to FFXIV, WILL they keep them Beastal; with longer Animalistic Muzzles like we currently have, or will them shorten the muzzles and make them all Soft and Human... Much Like in FFX

No, not Gwen, other people, months back when this was the biggest hot button Issue.

I think everyone sees things differently lol, the ears are just a bit meh for me too tho
I dont think it would be such a problem for a company like SE, I mean, a company that big should be able to handle things like that, but one of the big issues is their, in my peronal opinion, dumb decision of 2 races 1 gender instead of 1 race 2 genders


I dont think that male hrotgar should be even considered to be deleted. I myself was ofc salty and all, but now that things have calmed down and such, I think they a nice addition to the game. There's simply more Japanese, and Japanese intereseted ppl than western on this game's maker, hence why theres extremely few male hrotgar (2 weeks adn their only more pupolar than male roes, and not by a lot) and why female viera are so high (3rd female), specially when compared to them, so this market simply prefers male viera over any beast race (its just japanese culture), although, I just wouldnt feel fine if the hrotgar race got shafted. I woud certainly not only be asking why, but also asking for them to be put back. Itd be the dumbest thing they could make, but, thankfully, the chances of that are simply 500% inexistant

Actually, the are the second least played male race (only like 4k more than male roegadyn) and the 3rd on the grand scheme of things (more than any sex of roes).

I think fem hrotgar would be a very, very rare sight, but certainly a sight to behold
