Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Senn]

Because it technically is small. 1800+ likes is a lot. But compared to the actual player base of FFXIV, it's small.

I think this might be interesting and relevant. It's a little outdated, though.

So I'm genuinely into numbers at the moment.

Facts:
This thread has the support of a unique individuals* : 1577.
The current active population*** : 583 966.
Thread started : 3-22-2019
This thread has gained the highest amount of likes in all of General Discussion and within the shortest amount of time ever and is now considered one of the top 20 threads in General Discussion.


Sample size calculation:
Margin of Error : 5%
Confidence Level : 95% / Z Score : 1.96
Population Size : 583 966
Deviation : .5
This means that a sample size of only 384 is needed in order to prove demand which has been met within the forums and therefore extends to the greater FFXIV population as a whole. If we wanted to take into consideration of only the forum population (which we will for the time being say the forum consists of only .5%- 1% of the active playerbase, the sample size is considered to be ~330-360).

Poll :
Total Polled : 4763**
Generally against genderlock : 57.62%
Against genderlocked Viera : 54.20 %
Against genderlocked Hrothgar : 56.07%
I am not sure if this poll has been filtered to account for unique submission. Therefore, poll cannot be accounted for unique submissions, but can in someways help see from within and outside of the forums that if a random group of people are polled, there exists demand to unlock the genders. Take into consideration a hefty margin of error of +/- ~7% in all categories ranging from in favor to strongly opposed to account for duplicates from any category.


Someone before mentioned sample size and it's been lingering in my head for some time and thus impelled me to this.
I am not a maths person. Therefore, if a maths person does find a need to correct me please do by all means and with haste !

* unique individuals means that there can only be 1 like per 1 individual person, cannot be multiple likes from 1 individual.

** the values are fact at this current post's time.

*** active population signifies per the census website 'characters that have claimed the "dress-up raubahn" mount from the 4.1 story - hence we can assume that the real active population is somewhat less than 583 000 as this is not a unique number (an individual can have alts who have obtained this)

This is not directed at anyone specifically, just people in general: This thread has been heavily moderated and even taken down at one point. However, the moderators decided to restore the thread. I'm assuming this decision was made by someone higher up rather than someone they outsourced this job to. The very fact this thread is still up means there is some merit in it existing. If you are unhappy with this, simply block me so it won't be visible to you anymore.
