Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Well, at this point they would know if they're coming or not in 6.0. They've detailed their development cycle during Live Letters so they've already likely set up the basics for the 6.1 and 6.2 content patches as well, at this point. Not that I think we'd get the missing genders in a patch, but still. They'd save themselves a lot of disappointment and backlash if they simply announced outright if they're not coming in the expansion. Yes, some people would be annoyed if the answer was a 'no' but they'd have a definitive answer and it doesn't mean they won't be coming later on.

Those thinking female Viera and male Hrothgar will get hats; let me say this to you. There's absolutely nothing you can do with these heads


At best female Viera and male hrothgar should expect 2-5 new hairstyles.
Those of you excusing the refusal to add the missing genders because female Viera and male hrothgar are going to be worked on heavily for Endwalker; you better tamper down expectations by a lot. Thanks YoshiP, we needed a lion race with extreme limitations, while at the same time crippling female Viera; one of the most popular races in the game.

I mean, they could make some things work if they wanted to. They just need the time, money and incentive to do so. To say it's impossible is foolish at best. Unlikely? Yeah, but not impossible.

They say the lack the time and money, and I dont really know wether or not they have the incentive, but given their silence I wouldn't bet on it. I would say it is likely to set yourself up to dissapointment if u expect either of the existing genders to get massive updates that fix their every issue, at most we are likely to get a few hairstyles for female viera and idk, a few more face for male hrots I guess, maybe som AF gear hats Id hope at least, but I dont really expect much.

Oh, I'm not expecting anything at this point. lol I was just saying that things could be done in theory.

They can easily make hats and headgear for Viera and Hrothgar.
The real issue here is, they would need to redesign alot of old gear to fit a the beast-like face and alot of future gear would have to be designed 2 or 3 times to factor the beast face, and to have earholes for the Viera.

Yeah it is undeniable that it would certainly be doable, its just I dont think they will tbh at this point

Well is the No to Male Viera in General, or the No specifically that they arn't coming this expansion?
Because both of those mean 2 different things.

They would never say 'no' to male viera in general, I think Theodric refers to 'no male viera in 6.0, who knows later'

The modding community says Hi.

If they can say for 100% certain its not happening, they would say so.
If they can say outright no to playable child-characters, they can outright say no Male Viera.
