Gender locked race?

[Duskane]

Aren’t 90% of the players characters female anyway?

i dont think this is going to end well

i'm going to wait till it's actually confirmed that they're not a thing until i get out any pitchfork.

Just because they didn't mention anything, it doesn't instantly mean they're not a thing.


Don't really understand how people can't see that way of thinking instead of the extreme "Nothing, so NOT A THING!!!!!!!"
It's basically a limbo right now.
Maybe it is, maybe it's not.

So you want to see one thing instead of it just being... nothing at the moment.

I generally agree with the sentiment, but this reveal doesn't exist in a vacuum. It comes along with a rickety history of how SE treats its male characters and their glamour. That one lone quote saying we'd see more in the Tokyo Fanfest makes me think more along what you do, but they could've easily said something like that too in a Q&A or something in fanfest itself. Just half a bone thrown that this isn't everything we'll see to Viera would've gone a long way, just half an acknowledgement. But they didn't, they dodged any questions regarding Viera in the panels that I saw, and the climate is that we're in a situation where Viera being gender locked is something a lot of people think is actually possible, which is really something SE shouldn't have let happen. If bunny boys exist, what's the harm of showing or at least acknowledging them? If bunny boys don't exist, all they're doing right now is stringing people along by giving us hope we'll see them in the next FanFest, only to break those hopes then.

It's not pitchforks at all. It's when it's a fact it to late, it's now as well.

And this matters because...?

This logic needs to end. There's already enough pandering to the female characters in game already. Getting a male version of Viera won't change this and not giving it to us will simply exacerbate it.

I'm sure you're referring to TERA with that. Wrong game, lady.

May be 50 - 60 % but no where close to 90.
Not all like to play the same thing. Look at Tera and how well gender locks worked there.
