Gender locked race?

[RoroCookies]

I can’t help but wonder what type of excuses Yoshi-p would use if genderlock happens though.

Umm. Well thats easy. To kill the qq-rage instantly, would be telling us that they dont feel comfortable yet to show any male Viera (beside it is a race throughout Ivalice games and not exclusive to FFXIV only). So I could actually imagine them using the joker card "Sorry, we cant do it due to lore reasons and future games, please understand - thx, see ya. xoxo" (and with lore I talk about Viera lore in general not only in FFXIV)

I'd be disappointed if that would be the case. I mean, instead of adding female Viera only and causing a genderlocked race - they could of simply made a brand new race to FFXIV and dodged this whole subject.

Well looking at the male bunny suit: "Most of our designers where uncomfortable doing it and all of our female designers had enough other stuff to do"

(Isnt it kinda sad that people on the FF14 team did not want to do the bunny suit for males...in a country where quite some males run around cute fashion..)

Well if he gives me dancer, I won't mind the genderlock.

I don't think he will need excuses. I feel like from a Japanese developer perspective it's like hey we are giving people who play females something and people who play males something, we're golden. I am sure the backlash wasn't even in their mind until recently when this thread went up and now it's probably way too late to do anything about it.

People in the east and west have been asking about male Viera since FF XII. He'd have to be aware of that interest and the backlash that would result from not giving us the males. The community has made it clear they don't like genderlocked things in general at this point too. They even caved and gave us that male bunny outfit. What makes you think he'd be so oblivious to the negative reaction bringing back genderlocked races would bring? That's why I'm holding out for fanfest; I find it hard to believe they'd make such a giant misstep again.


if they did though, they leave us no choice but to keep pestering them till they rectify it. :v if there is one thing the FF community is good at it is pestering their developers.
