Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Who even gets their opinions on whether to play a game or not based on has-been journos obsessed with identity politics? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think the bigger issue is conveying the sense that SE is willing to rush out the races before they're fully ready for release.

This issue is what causes me to take a pause at the decision with these new races's implementation. Back in 2.x Yoshi seemed extremely liberal with use of resources in order to make this game the quality that it is currently building off of. He spent time to add full genders to races, and addressed almost every single system this game had (inventory is still a massive issue but I have blame 1.0 programming for that one).

However, this this expansion, Yoshi seems to be using resources in a very conservative manner that I've never seen him use before. I'm concerned that his attentions are being drawn elsewhere (new FF title, newer prospects within the company, new MMO, etc), and this is either his final expansion or close to it. That means we're stuck with whatever we got b/c he's moving on.

I really hope I'm wrong and I'm just reading into things... but I kind of feel like the writing is on the wall. FFXIV's days are numbered imo, and the dedication to providing fully quality content seems like it's starting to slip.

If Yoshida leaves FFXIV,I will not be that sad. I would love to see an expansion done by someone else from a completely different prespective that will help to spice up things a lot, they've gotten kinda boring for me after such a long while honestly

I definitely see where you're coming from. I played through 1.x and saw what Yoshi did though. That man seriously pulled this game out of the dirt. Seeing what he can do and what he has done, I can't say I hope he hands it off to someone else. As set in the pattern as this game is, I prefer knowing what's going to come as to shooting darts in the dark like say Blizzard, or just completely mismanaging your property entirely like GW2. Honestly, I don't think there's a better person currently that could take Yoshi's position.
