Male Viera or Sage and Reaper released early

[Risvertasashi]

So I already acknowledged that the reason for the delay was stability concerns and how Sage and Realer early release wouldn’t work because of the job reworks. How about Male Viera?

So the stat squish is the most minor part. The effort of putting a patch together, and then doing QA, applies to any new content. Male viera, or anything else. As someone else said, it's not how SE rolls.

There are companies that play it fast and loose. For example, the creators of Warframe are known for suddenly dumping things on their live servers, and then things break and they rapidly hotfix stuff for the first few days, and slowly refine things over the course of weeks and months. So in this way, the whole playerbase are beta testers, and I have friends that won't play a new update for 2 months or so because they want to experience it as intended, ie the fixed version.

SE's modus operandi is very different, of course. They have a process they follow, so a lot of our content is well-balanced from the start and it's rare - not unheard of, but rare - that there's a critical issue during the launch of new content, expac or otherwise.

As awesome as that would be, it doesn't make sense to do that from a variety of standpoints.

I wanna play through 6.0 as one of the new jobs, and I know a lot of other people wanna do the same. Releasing Sage/Reaper early would certainly give us time to level them, but it'd probably hurt not only the game, but SE's integrity, over all.

Talking about these things getting added, does anyone know if the midlander stubble has been confirmed? I saw the video but no dev seemed to have confirmed it yet.

Midlander stubble has been confirmed, but you will need a fantasia since it is tied to a new face option when Endwalker drops.

oh? I must've missed that.
not just a new facial hair stubble but a whole new face?

Yep. It's more or less the same face as option 1 or the default, but I think due to remnants of 1.0 coding they had to make it an entirely new face option instead.

Hmm.. interesting.
Thanks for sharing.

[Hysorn]

Thank you! I wasn't sure about it.

Is it on the benchmark, maybe?
