Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[RikkCavalier]

The problem with that is that the OP of that thread doesn't explicitly support the addition of male Viera as a playable race, so in general people have not been liking the first post. In order to get attention from the community team, ideally you would have a lot of posts/views and many likes on the relevant post showing support for the request.

it does actually by implying that Viera and Rothgar are both gender locked. Meaning--add male viera and female rothgar.

Registered on the forums for the first time just to come and voice my disgust that we're seeing gender locked races in 2019.

Please reconsider SE, we've been hoping for months for male Viera.

We do not want gender-locked races.

I want male Viera!
Please and thankyou!

Genderlocking races in 2019 is a bad look, Square. It wasn't welcome in 1.0, and it isn't welcome now.

This. The big manz and sexy wumenz is some sexist garbage that I honestly thought this dev team was above. Clearly I was mistaken. With not even a new healer, there's really nothing in this expansion to look forward to at all for me. If the expansion after this brings male viera, female hrothgar, and a new healer, maybe that'll bring some hope back to the game for me. This has been the most depressing expansion and fanfest, and I'm disgusted with who ever made these new race decisions.

Give us male Viera and then I'll start paying my sub again. This hurt and it hurt bad. This is a ragequit moment for me. Goodbye until they add male Viera. This is homophobic. Still afraid of adding male bunnies huh? Stop the pathetic excuses and start listening to the people who play this game.

This is in no way homphobic in the slightest. If it is, it is because you have decided it is such. Simply adding or excluding males of one race and females of another has nothing to do with your avatar's sexuality. The perception of homophobia comes solely from your own projections onto a race that didn't even exist in the game beyond some lore that says they are about as rare as Bigfoot, and your preconceived notions of how the community would treat them. So ragequit if it makes you feel better but just know that that's on you, not the dev team.

Furthermore, your conceptions and outrage have completely blinded you to any sort of reasonable explanation such as professional courtesy to the original creator of Ivalice.

It just seems like a HUGE wasted opportunity to expand on a race that's been so entirely mysterious in every other game it's existed in. There could have been a huge expansion on the lore for Viera by allowing playable males and an opportunity to answer for that mystery. Additionally the way a Viera male operates isn't that unlike male Miqo'te so I don't see it so much as a lore reason but trying to follow tradition.

Not only that but there are definitely female Ronso in FFX and they definitely are out and about in the world. Maybe it will be different for our Shard's version of them, the Hrothgar, but it's still a huge disappointment.

I really hope SE sees people who are so upset by this and fixes it. I'm expecting the huge level of backlash to at least get some response, and maybe one day we will see the races with both genders.

+1, Male Viera needs to be a thing. I refuse to accept gender locked races.

If this doesn't happen; those amazing T3XT00l$ m0dd3r$ will do it for us.

[KaiZhe]

here's to hoping the dev team listens and unlocks female ronso and male viera

Male viera sounds like great idea! Why not make it into reality, I heard there is lot of support for that decision
