How much content was cut for Male Vieras?

[Karl0217]

This is not satisfying niches. This is wasting a disproportionate amount of resources on those niches.

When is the last time the other races got some customization? How is it ok that they're spending an entire expansion's worth of effort to satisfy a niche of players who will drop Male Viera two weeks after Endwalker release?

Ultimate is a content that millions watch on stream and has more publicity than someone playing a bunny boy. And they never promised they won't genderlock. Stop spreading lies about the dev team. They did that out of their own accord. Not for a made up promise you guys are circulating.

Male Viera being added isn't the thing that is taking development resources away from additional battle content. That would be stuff like the Animal Crossing / Farmville style Island Sanctuaries. What do you think took away more resources and manpower from you getting a new Ultimate? Them creating their own version of Farmville with all the new instanced zones, new gameplay mechanics for raising crops and livestock, the server code to accommodate them, etc... or them adding some additional character customization options to one of the player races?
