Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[WhiteArchmage]

I feel like, in general, a lot of cosmetic stuff got shafted in ShB: DNC and GNB don't have any primal weapons, even lvl 60 or 70. They don't have Alexander weapons (but DO have Shire) and the fancy new hairstyle introduced for all races is unavailable for Viera/Hrothgar (although Viera has a...SIMILAR hairdo that I used until last week). This along with the limited hairstyles and the hat problem (which, I mean, idek who thought we wouldn't miss the RDM hat. One of THE iconic pieces of headgear in the entire FF series) makes it feel like ShB brought quite a bit of substance (MSQ, Role Quests, Eden and future content) but dropped a little of the style.

this is literally the exact definition of how I want male viera to look like. Racial gear + tail included...

That "racial gear" looks ridiculous, what do you even mean. Like, for real. I added the quote to this post just to highlight the absurdity for others, some context.

I think that with classic wow and how SHB is kinda really bad once u finish MSQ FFXIV should really do everythingt hey can next expac if they want a single chance against WoW

Classic WoW isn't going to hold a large audience for more than 2-3 months, guaranteed; it's a gimmick. Streamers are keeping the sheep occupied for now. I would like to see a massive overhaul to PvP in this game - since I am the core a PvP player, but I never see it happening.

seem to really not care that much about the new races

I agree about them not caring too much about the new races. It's obvious the way they were handled - like a side project rushed at the last minute. Unfortunate.

Snip

Yeah, I have said it multiple times before. I am big-brained. High IQ.

they just got an order from the above.

Obviously, it's a management decision to allocate resources to which projects when. Devs are just doing their job; what they are told. I will give the devs themselves props, we got some headgear for viera/hrothgar, because they worked on their own time. They do deserve praise for that. Have said before I don't think it's the devs themselves being "lazy".

It really irks me when people say SE is lazy. They're not...

Agreed to an extent. Higher ups just don't care; have different priorities, in my opinion.

While any change to Hrothgar is welcome...That race deserved to be worked on and released in a state far better than what we got.

Agreed. Still new faces just means more reasons to buy a fantasia, you have to use one to change to these new faces anyway. The viera will be able to switch their hairstyle without having to use a fantasia. Hrothgar still have a huge problem for them.

They probably had too much work on their plate. Did as much as they could while working on other projects. They gave GNB/DNC weapons enough for when they would start leveling - rather than for cosmetics. They made what they had to for those new classes. As for the hairstyle/gear, I am pretty sure that and much of the ShB gear, or rather I have the feeling, was completed prior to the decision to add some headgear for viera, and the hair was probably something similar - something to work on later; potentially a racial variant.

Its not ridicolous. You might not like it, but that dosent mean its objectively bad.

Wow classic isnt gonna hold up for more than 6 months but then Blizzard will eb very close to releasing their next expansion, which if done fine will get back a majority of the wow refugees (which as long as im aware of) make for a decent amount of ffxiv players, and yes, both of the new 'races' (if they can even be called that at this point) are something that shouldnt even have been released until at least 6.0 instead of releasing whatever we got
