Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Theodric]

The lore excuse does bug me, especially considering there are Viera on the first and on the source. So... Viera society in alternate dimensions advanced exactly the same in their relations between the males and females with no difference? I find that a little hard to believe. Especially in light of a world destroying calamity. =/

Yeah, the lore reasoning behind it all does feel pretty weak. At least there's a precedent for lore being adjusted and changed over time so if they are added, it can be tweaked. Given how much the development team seem to be struggling with the existing Hrothgar and Viera, though, it's looking like the missing genders won't be added anytime soon.

I wish they were struggling, then I could be content in the fact that they are actually trying.

I am honestly not surprised that they did not change much with the races on the shard..one would believe that after thousands of years apart and having a shard that does not get reset all the time there would be a lot of differences.

Races with different structures and looks (only the beast tribes are seemingly allowed to look a bit different), way more technology since we only dont have that because of the constant calamities, different clothing styles, different languages...

Yet even the scions fit perfectly in it and can understand everyone..we see so many clothes that we also have on our source..barely any technologies and of course they suddenly take "Gil" as the new currency..

They could have truly shown this to us as an "alien" world that is that much different from ours..but they did not, which imo is also partly because that would be too much work..

Just think the rage of players if the first used a currency called "lig" instead of gil. "My whole wallet is wasted! Why would I use gil now?" That for a kind soul, use creativity for foul language.

I do hope we see playable male viera added someday...I wants to be a bunny boy summoner!

Yes to this.

Where do I sign? Gender locks are ridicolous.

The best thing to do is leave a "like" on the OP of this thread. And if you have friends who would like male viera to be added to ffxiv, encourage them to leave a like on the OP as well.

Just wondering, let us say "if" people had to choose exclusively between male viera or all hair, and headgear options unlocked for female viera which one would win out? Question popped up in discord group I was in and the answers surprised me, so wonder if it will be the same on the forums.
