Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Vahlnir]

To be expected, threats are usually fake outs or fear mongering on the internet.

Viera have always been around 80/20 female dominant species among other FF games, 12, and Tactics while the Male are extremely rare and very hostile to anyone that isn't them, as we know SE sticks to that system for 14.

They only really use the lore as a copout though, same could be said about female Hrothgar. They could add them both if they really wanted to, there just needs to be enough demand and a foreseeable profit. Just through Fantasia sales alone I could see it being a worthy investment, but I'm no big shot CEO either.

It's pretty much the last time SE will ever make more race models for players. Designing every armor piece to fit them, animations for literally everything in the game, voice, custom character look, shape, hairstyles. It's good money SE is aware about it, it's the strain in Devs making more.

aren't hrothgar male viera

If loyalty is the reason they refuse to do male viera and female hrothgar

Wait...where does loyalty come in with Female Hrothgar? I literally don't understand your mindset here...
We just simple don't have them playable yet. They arn't genderlocked for any big reason other then they just didnt have time to make them.

I could believe Viera would be genderlocked...but Male Viera not being playable could have the same reason behind it as the Female Hrothgars; they just didnt have time.

The development team would receive a lot of negative attention if they decided to add female hrothgar but not male viera. Especially since the latter is a much more popular request than the former. So we're likely to either see both of the missing race and gender combinations added to the game or neither.

There's also a strong track record of the development team adding things based on popular requests, so I see no harm in people continuing to ask for the missing genders to be added so long as they remain civil.

Has this ever been contested?
Not my goal to start anything here, but you say this alot like its been argued XD

I'd like to know how they get anything done then, because that's exactly how you develop a game. You throw money and people at something and it gets sent to the public for purchase. Pretty sure that's how businesses have worked for hundreds of years. Not a good excuse for them to toss at us. I didn't believe it then. Still don't believe it now.

My mindset was destroying their go-to reason for not doing them sooner if at all. They stayed loyal to FFXII and made viera female only. Hrothgar are just collateral because they needed a male only to "balance" out the lock.

If they just didn't have time to make the other genders then why would they put up so many other weak excuses instead of just being forward about it and just telling us that from the start?

Viera have been female only since tactics...not XII
And they already explained that they were trying to fulfil 2 requests as this may be the last chance to make new races. They didnt have the time and resources to make all 4. And it takes ALOT of time AND resources to make the races and the genders.

This was explained. They were foreword about it

You're free to believe what you like, even if its possibly wrong.
