Please point me to the post where someone implied the world is going to implode. In the meantime, let me remind you that "If this doesn't happen I'm going to feel this way" is not an inference to said world implosion, rather people stating how the exclusion of the male gender would make them feel. So far, the only people I've seen overreacting or "getting bent out of shape" are the people who read the topic of this thread and start seeing red. We have acknowledged that there are other fan fests. We have acknowledged the possibility of a future reveal of the male Viera. However, their complete disregard of the topic has some, myself included, a bit concerned. We're allowed to be. Just like you're allowed to come in here and chastise people. The only people I've seen "get bent out of shape" are those with their weak counter arguments or snide comments (you fall into the latter).

So who is "We" than when you say that you've all acknowledged the fact that there is a possibility of male viera. I'm not attacking anyone, but it's just a sight to see how people can "react" to not getting certain things. Again I'd be more than happy to have male and female viera included in shadowbringers.

But I'm glad you feel it's in your right to come out and make your own snide remarks at me as you can only make out the red in my remarks.

And yes I was using exaggeration on the quote about people getting bent out of shape and the world imploding, but again maybe it's because that's how some people are also in turn reacting to the fact that they can't get male veria, just like I'm sure you exaggerated "I will wait for more information before I start punching baby pandas out of sadness."

Don't misunderstand: I get that a majority of the player-base play female characters; that's evident by the amount of female-friendly armor sets (lookin' at you Omicron Chest of Healing). I can see how, from a business standpoint, pandering to the lotioned up hands of that fanbase would be a lucrative endeavor. There are, however, some of us who play male characters. I will wait for more information before I start punching baby pandas out of sadness.

Not even an artwork shown. Doesnt matter if they couldnt make it to finish the ingame models. But I start to believe, they're scared of showing the male race. It will probably lead to frustration and probably affect the preorders which will start on the 6th february.

I don`t mind if gender locked, really love them, the animation and everything.

OK... now you can worry about gender locking lol.

I think this thread is premature. There is an art panel where Yoshi specifically said we'll get more information. Wait until then to see if they don't show bunny boys and then take to the forums to riot lol.

Came back to say... Let me help you hand out those pitchforks...

I can't believe they didn't acknowledge or even talk about Male Viera. I personally am not affected by it, but if this race is gender locked, that is a huge mistep. Even if by BluFever magic we get another male only race, it's not the same. They shouldn't gender lock races lol. *shakes head*

A major disappointment if there will be no male Viera.
And let's not bring the silly Lore excuse pls.
XIV offers an opportunity to show the male Viera and it will be just sad to miss it especially if the Viera is the last race that will be added in the game.
Why they didn't specifically say it's gender locked and leave people speculate?
Do they plan on releasing the male version later?
It's weird they didn't' mention anything.

I don't mind. My eyes enjoy this more than male bunnies in suggestive clothing.
Still i wouldn't lose my shit if they added males aswell and i think they do have something special on hold.

If Nier:Automata can make it right into the Lore of FFXIV, then I dont see a reason why Male Viera cant exist here either. Its hilarious.

Ah the good ol' "it doesn't affect me why should I worry about it."

Yikes the subtle homophobia.
