Looks like you have a deal. I must warn you that I have an almost prodigious retentive memory.

Last update on the subject here so gender-locked Viera debate can rage on, the weird races thread is up if anyone wants to join in.

Its about time we get a new trailer with male Viera legs YoshiP. You showed Frans during last teaser. Do the same. No gender discrimination! /s

I mean echoing Mr Happys video about Male viera. It is a point that Male viera have never been shown in any Final fantasy product. So It could be there holding the big reveal for Tokyo.

It could be a mixture of models not ready as there is signs the female models arn't fully ready with the tiny show case. Not to mention the amount of tease and hype for viera in both US and Europe fanfest leading up to the reveal with the joke. There teasing on the want and hype in likely hood to boost the fantasia sales. This expansion unlike heavensward is not giving us a free fantasia. It could all be a marketing ploy?

To be honest I think people need to calm down about gender locking and getting upset until after tokyo fanfest. Its not been confirmed either way and we got till the end of march until we know if male bun buns are a thing or not nd Yoshi.p keeps responding to questions about it saying Tokyo is coming. That hints to the answer being given then. And knowing Yoshi P I expect big announcement with Male viera...heck maybe we will got cosplayers like they did with Aura? ....now I just want to see yoshi step out for the keynotes dressed as a male veira dancer (I can dream chemist but most likely dancer due to leaks and forum demand) Make it happen square XD

These are the Blufever leaks btw, with his leaks saved onto Pastebin and a reddit post that has the more easy to digest bullet points.

Blufever has said "not only new race" during it.

Blue Mage is a support melee dps if this helps. Viera isn't the only new race. Please don't make me reveal more. ;_;"


So yes it has been said by himself that there will be one more race (referring to the same context as Viera i.e. playable).

TY for linking them.

They do mention viera not only playable race once while saying multiple times the Viera dream is dead what dream is the big question there? The information they leaked was big time MSQ stuff and yet not ok with revealing second playable race uh huh sure its very telling that the person who leaked these was after attention (multiple do i get a cookie) some even was contradictory can't spoil who is at end with alphinaud in 4.3 later saying its Gauis this is a 1st but i am truly grateful MrHappy made a video on these leaks that caused the person to stop (due to their own pettiness) leaking information this information was being kept secret by the devs themselves for as long as they could even not putting some of them in trailers and they went above and beyond on spoiler territory Leaker you are not truly sorry or you never would have done something like this

If he really was someone from the translation team, than I suppose he had information on various texts and certain descriptions.
If I think about the leaks he gave so far, they were not 100% accurate, yet he was able to tell which bosses will be implented, such as the omega raid etc. Yet he wasnt able to tell what happens to BLU, nor he knew the real name of Omega M/F (and called them Adam and Eve). He knew most things aslong their names were mentioned through translations such as Chaos being o9, Midgarmsormr o10, etc

In my opinion that lion race could be just as non playable race which gets introduced next to Vieras (Male&Female)
The Lore Book stated there are 25% other races living in Dalmasca? (If I am not wrong). The mentioned ones were Hyur, Seeq, Bangaa, Viera and Nu mou. There are a few more races that live in the Ivalice, some would be Ivalician moogles, Gria, Rev and the Garif. There is a chance he mistook the Rev as a second race while theyre just another race as the Lupin?

[Laerune]

I doubt SE would only introduce one race and make it a female, after the bunny outfit outrage, they would be very foolish to assume there would be no backlash. There is going to be a second race and male exclusive, the question will be: Is it going to stick to SE status quo, of having males be tall and masculine?

Personaly, I am hoping for a small cute race, something to rival Lalafellins.

EDIT: I hope no feline races, we already have Miqote.

While I can't speak for the leaks, I can infer there maybe copy + paste mistakes such as repeating Viera dream is dead or whatever.

Sure, leaker may be wanting attention/recognition, but that may be their M.O on why they would leak.

Also, I never seen the full thread so I can't say what context it's in, and the leaker just couldn't hold on to it. (But it was shown that Gaius is very much alive and well, which does show the validity of the leaks, alongside Zenos being alive).

It's thanks to the leaker why we even have such strong evidence on their being a gender locked race.
