How much content was cut for Male Vieras?

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Even still I wish SE would be transparent and tell us what customization options were axed, having to funnel the resources into making the missing genders.

Is this...really neccessary or relevant information to know?
I think them telling us what we lost to make something happen would just create more toxicity.

If Male Viera do in fact get dropped or arnt super popular when EW comes out, then Male Viera supporters might become targets of harassment
"We lost a chance/this content was cut because of this stupid race" might hit people pretty hard if the said X content had to suffer for Male Viera

[WoW]

Not on stream but yes everywhere else, in twitter its the most talked about thing, in youtube its top 3 plus super higly talked about, in gaming media its probs gonna be really big, twitch streams have never been what make ffxiv money and likely wont be for a while

200k views on the reveal video. The reaper and NA expansion video both surpassed 400k and even the JP expansion video is over 400k. Yup, the most talked about thing on youtube. Where are you pulling your data from rofl?! Trending vids on youtube can pull millions in one day. It's not even trending on twitter!

Because adding doa races is a waste of sub money that can be used on actual content or even casual content that can be enjoyed by more people?

We even lost the Halloween events thanks to male Vieras. Instead of adding hats to female verias/horthgars or more hair styles for other classes, the devs thought it was a good idea to add more dead content that was only added because of virtue signaling.

And the reason you know what we love due to the implementation of mviera is? There hasnt been a single more requested feature as far as Im aware ever n the story of the game, this just shows the devs will work to do what the community wants and that they hear our feedback, if it was such a waste of resources, then ppl would have made threads or complained about it enoug hso that they would have abstained from releasing them, but whenevr they did they got about 10-30 likes from the same ppl who were either trolling or just angry about the demand for male viera being really big, while the petition thread has about 2000 likes, and no other thread comes even close to that. So how is that adding 'dead content' that apparently players arent going to enjoy or dont want

[AngelCheese77]

TBH I really would like to know what was or if a anything was cut due to adding male bunnies. Since they quoted budget and time as a reason as to why we may never get another race.

If you watched the fan notes live Yoshi P touched on things around the male viera and how much the pandemic impacted things

Just take a look at that male viera thread. Now they're compaining about height. Clearly this just another fetish race. SE bending the knee to this is disgusting

Nope, ppl are sharing their excitement and comparing heights between mviera and fviera since its still 6 motnhs away and we are most eager to see their details, such as height, there isliterally not a single person i nthe male viera thread complainging other than those who didnt want male viera to be added, ppl are celebrating and they are either extremely happy or simply comenting that they think x or y thing could be changed, which considering they still havent been released, its a great time to do so (like those asking for a more 'manly' looking face). Also for the 'fetish race' argument, it got old about 1.5 years ago.

[Awha]

That was largely PR speak we know that the pandemic impacted development, I am more of a transparent fellow, I would have loved to see a list of features that could have been added but due to the resources had to be axed. As a project manger these kinds of choices have always interested me, I know for many it sucks but sometimes we have to make tough choices and I would love to see the calculus Yoshi-P and their team uses to come up with what gets focused on and what does not.
