Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I'm still cautiously optimistic that we'll see some form of enhanced customisation as part of 6.0's launch.

I want to believe that one of 6.0's selling points is gonna be enhanced customization across the board... Mainly Viera and Hrothgar having more features and both genders, but the old races also getting more faces, horns separated from heads, new tail models, more colors, and most importantly, UPSCALED character textures, since we aren't bound to the old Playstation limitations anymore.

XIV's models are aging well, I don't think an overhaul is really needed, but there's the thing of very little variation in what you can make to have your character not look like everybody else... The only thing that XIV has in abundance is just hairstyles.

Hahah! Well, I could see them giving one free fantasia with the preorder just to make more attractive for people to play with the new options.

Speaking of which it's quite surprising there was none with ShB Collector's. Given a fantasia with 3.0 I thought there will be free bottle with 5.0 too.

Why give it away for free when you can keep charging $10 and people will pay for them regardless? Seems like the smart choice, though I doubt it would have hurt them much to give out a free fantasia.

The fantasia from the HW CE wasn't free. You still paid for it along with the other things CE got you.

My guess? It went the same way as veteran rewards. The system was even overhauled to make it 'fair' and yet it's exceptionally rare to see anything new to exchange achievement certificates for.

To be fair, while you obviously have a point there really is very few things that sell preorders as much as 'Look guys, we are adding the missing genders to this races by popular demand and finished our previous genders for the new races added with Shadowbringers, and not only that, but preorder the game now and you can change into them for free!' which would likely mean many ppl would preorder and a good amount of ppl would also likely change back after a while, but it is really unlikely they'd miss out on all that good fantasia money yeah
