Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I'm happy it was kept alive. In my previous viera thread, I had to occasionally leave an on-topic comment in order to bump it, but that wasn't really necessary with this thread. I did keep an eye on it just in case. Thanks to the commenters, I never had to worry about it.

It's great this thread got so many likes and support. I think the ffxiv team does sometimes look at the feedback on the forum, so I think more people should utilize the like button. It's more effective if you have one thread with a bunch of likes instead of many threads of the same topic with no likes.

people should stop whining, you got the male viera you asked for, take the win and move on.

Aaaand.... where people do, exactly? I can only see celebratory messages from those who waited them and supporters who won't play them but are glad regardeless, plus some speculations about their height and customization options which is just that - speculation, since it's still about 5 months before we'll get benchmark. Messages like "I can't wait for their release" aren't whining, it's just an excitement, which happens before every expansion. Nothing wrong with being hyped for new things and sharing this hype with others. And this thread is suited the best for it.

If there's whining, it's from those who was against their implementation, but those are a minority. Maybe some portion of people who expected them to look differently, but that was pretty much inevitble no matter their final look. Most people, in this thread at least, seem to be more than happy.

I think they even said themselves many times, that there's a higher chance they'll notice something if it's a big thread with a lot of likes and comments on top pages rather than hundred of small ones that are drowned under the pile a few days later. Which, I suppose, passed by a lot of users without being noticed, because iirc it's not mentioned in any guidelines (at least I don't remember it being mentioned in those).

Yup, I remember something like that being said as well. It has worked well for me, so I hope more people try it out. (Maybe for something like character customization options/more faces?) It also helped that, for better or for worse, I unintentionally annoy people enough to the point they want to keep commenting at me... lol But this thread did pick up a lot of steam on its own, so that was good.

And off topic, but can I just say that whenever I see a "show your support thread" now, it makes me chuckle.

Edit:
Hit daily limit.

People on Twitter believe many things that often don't accord with reality, so I am not surprised.

I can't even argue with that because you're not exactly wrong.
Even if I think they are kind of androgynous, it's nothing I feel the need to debate over or convince other people of. It's not that deep. I'd probably change my mind if I saw one with facial hair or something.
