Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Looking at reactions from the outside to Male Viera is pretty funny, especially from the WoW crowd.
When I play FFXIV for too long I sorta forget how negatively people react to male characters that aren't ultra roided out conventionally masculine.
Male Viera are just really off-putting to that '' normie '' audience they're having a mental breakdown over it xD.

They're obviously not to the majority of the FFXIV audience I'd imagine and mainly it's Westerners freaking out since we're so used to getting grumpy dudebros in like all of our media.
The FF series in general has also always been like this.

Edit: The interesting thing tho is how FFXIV is seen as '' the furry MMO '', but WoW is more of a furry game than FFXIV.
The races in FFXIV are far too human to be that, Furries wear full animal suits not just animal ears and tails.
Vulpera, Pandaren and Worgen cater more to that.

At this point, I think it's a matter of "they hate us because they ain't us." With WoW steadily crumbling, those who remain are rather salty.

For anyone that says there is the same amount of content. Ok Check. but delayed by 5 months. 2-3 for covid. 2 for males

Makes me wonder if the folks from Square will ever going to address the height for male viera in comparison to their female counterparts and whatnot.

[Demetri_Delethorn]

Well, this is revolting news. Likely going to have to take a break. Yikes.

I used to love warcraft a lot since I was only 13 years when I got warcraft 3 burning legion back in the day. Blizzard has indeed has gotten so badly over the years that I can no longer able to play basically any of their recent games anymore, thus I gave XIV a shot and I immediately loved the game. I'm still a newb in the game, but I can clearly see the love and dedicated that square had put into their game.

If there is anything the addition of male viera at this point indicates, I'd say it's that they really respond to Twitter backlash. It looks to really be their main source of feedback. Even in their appearance, they went very middle of the road for males, maybe to try and please more of the audience. It reminds me of the 2b broken butt situation, and how fast they responded to it.

They were the perfect gender counterpart for female Viera. Twitter feedback or no, I think they turned out perfectly. They were exactly what I expected them to be if they ever happened.

not really
Yoshi.p himself said a little after the female viera released if they were to do male viera they would be Like Miqote x Elezen like the females
and that is exactly how they turned out
they always had a vision for them Forum/twitter/reddit didnt sway that in any way
