Warning for "Grief" Tactics?!

[aveyond-dreams]

I remember that a lot of anti-male viera posters accused those who preferred the slimmer/more Omega-like design as opposed to a more muscular one of all sorts of things, ultimately I am grateful that we received them in the state we got due to Senn's consistency in his main post in that thread.

The reality is that despite being called "Final Fantasy XIV" most of the male races prior to the inclusion of Male Miqote and then Male Viera were far removed from the usual look of a typical Final Fantasy hero, with hyurs having a sort of...uncanny aspect to them, Elezen being, well Elezen (yes I know I am saying that while posting from my elezen character), etc.

To the surprise of no one, male Viera's finished form is largely popular despite its limited state, because they gave us a design that is very much "Final Fantasy" and appeals to the core playerbase of this game instead of something completely out of the blue like Hrothgar, which FF players just didn't gravitate towards. I feel bad that posters like Senn and Sturm had endured so much over the course of that thread, but honestly the result was worth it and their efforts resulted in a very beneficial addition to the roster of races in game.
