How much content was cut for Male Vieras?

[Absurdity]

We can basically end this thread by saying we don't know, buuuuuut since the art team and the animators (not the combat designers) have to work on male Viera there could be the potential of losing things we otherwise would've had, basically any content that requires new art assets or animations to be made.


Do we lose an ultimate because of this? Very unlikely since most of the assets for an ultimate fight are reused, so they already existed and didn't require much extra work, and the main focus of an ultimate fight are the mechanics which is done by the combat team who are most likely not working on Viera (because why should they?).

If we do lose an ultimate it is not because of male Viera but because of some other issue, maybe mismanaged resource allocation later down the line.


Edit: Funny that MPK actually came to the same conclusion.

Dey tuk' mah hair!

Well I won’t play one but I argued for adding them because I’ve always been the one arguing for more content from a big company like SE in general.

We should be demanding new races with every expansion, 3-5 new jobs every expansion minimum, 5-10 dungeons every patch, etc.

I always chuckle when I see people using the "bUt BigGuS CoMpAnY" argument to coerce a company into giving in into their demands. It shows very little knowledge of business management

How much content did you cut for male Vieras?

Ignorance and indifference. Don't know. Don't care.

Ah MPK again - a problem for every solution.

And a cloud for every silver lining.

Answer: on graphical side - likely none. Though the situation with lack of hair for femViera/maleHrothgar in ShB may be (and probably is) due to the fact they were working on counterparts.

Also: dunno about others, but I'll either fantasia into one or create an alt I'll actually play. Decision largerly depends on face options they'll have in CC.

I'm almost convinced that every thread MPK starts up is just a Thumbs Up farm for whoever can get the snarkiest comment against them first.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!
