Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Yes, they indicated as much here and here. Sounds like they have completely different ideas for any potential future MMO. An implication of this is that it wouldn't directly compete with XIV as it would be designed for a different audience.

With that said, the game's subs are at a healthy level, at least based on the Luckybancho readings, and some believe they'll surge further. They definitely seem to be thinking of the game over the longer term, and with the timescales they mention, I am a bit more optimistic that the game will see some more investment and potentially male Viera later down the line. It could end up like XI with no further updates, but the game is very good so far for their balance books and is on an upwards trend, so we'll see... especially if future story content is capable of being done on a more modular basis, given the standalone nature they're planning for each future expansion, so that you don't have to go through the full 2.0-6.0 slog just to enjoy the game.

Just about everything but improved textures, at least so far.

They zoomed in on some armor but I didn't notice a difference. lol

Yeah but we haven't seen the full extent of them yet. They said they would be implementing further improvements in subsequent patches. I'm not expecting anything drastic, but with them basically saying that the newer consoles (really, referring to the prior generation as well) are more like PC specs to them, they're essentially easier to design for on an optional feature basis and the PS5 is a pretty powerful machine (for its price.)

Yeah, that's why I said "so far". We don't know everything just yet.
