Gender locked race?

[cicatriz313]

I'm sure there are some people that would prefer a lion race, I'm not saying there aren't. What I'm saying is that people have expectations after being shown female Viera. Being able to meet those expectations would be the smart thing to do, that's pretty undeniable. I get that you want to downplay this and make it seem like it isn't a big deal, but it is a big deal to a lot of people. People like to assume that just because they aren't personally invested in something it doesn't matter.

I really don't get why people wanting male Viera bothers you so much Cica. What do you gain from constantly trying to tell them something they care about isn't important?

Cool, put words in my mouth. I'm not downplaying anything. I'm saying that no matter what the devs put into the game there will be fantasia sales. Guess what? All those expectations people have from seeing Viera? They're fulfilled by female Viera because that's all we know so far. If you're expecting anything more from the non hints they've given you that you're getting males, that's on you. There, I denied it. It can be important to you, I don't care. I wasn't even responding to you and you jumped on my comment with your opinion. Make me out to be "the bad guy" all you want, I have just as much right to voice my opinions on here as you.

Edit: to solidify this, go back up to where I was commenting on baha, the guy basically said devs would be stupid to not add male Viera because there wouldn't be fantasia sales otherwise, which I said guess what? That's wrong because any new race would mean fantasia sales. Somehow that was me saying "what you want isn't important"

Why do you put words in my mouth then?

No I wasnt talking about male Viera only, but about 2 new full race, which in return would increase the fantasia sale by a lot. And thats why I was talking about their comfort zone, if they can jump out of it and give both Viera and Hrothgar, it will boost up fantasia sales even further. I dont know why you both feel attacked now though.

If they decided wisely on this, it will increase overall reputation of FFXIV. I doubt they can shine with a "genderlocked new races" while the community asks for female Hrothgar/male Viera?!

You've been decidedly vocal about male Viera in this thread, so I assumed you were being vocal about it again. I honestly don't even consider two fulls races an option considering the past.
