Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Labyxt]

+1, the decision to genderlock them is completely unacceptable, especially in 2019, especially in XIV, especially revealing it only after players could redeem their items for the pre-order, making it permanent.
Support for the release of both genders for both the new races.

[Fenefab]

Genderlocking is unacceptable. Bring on the male bunnies please, even if it is after ShB launch. And hell, give us female Hrothgar too, and make them look like beasts just like the males! SE is the one that writes the lore so that sould NOT be their excuse right now.

[Snowyeagle]

Yeah I thought the lore excuse was weak at best especially since Ronso really have no reason to be restricted to male only... I guess they'll add lore for that too? which is weirder because they are making additional lore to compensate for another lore that stops them from having male rabbit *insert male miqo'te argument here*
I think they might have gotten less hate if they chucked Viera idea out the window and just went with Hrothgar and maybe make it more distinct from Roe? But then again, a LOT of people wanted viera...:/ I donno I think they just shot themselves in the foot by trying to add two races that they might not have resource for

Just gonna repost what I said in a different thread, because I wanna put in my support in the bigger threads as well obviously:

I'm disappointed, sad, confused.

As a player who was actually hyped for 1.0 to launch, and then disappointed when my machine couldn't really play it. Then hyped about ARR launch and only took breaks due to hospitalisation. Hyped for both HW and even SB and again for ShB, though getting less and less...
And also as a mom rasing 2 children in a non-genderconforming-way because I do not believe stereotyping genders or what they should be looking like or can or can not do is something constructive.
Choices like these are just painfull, it does not show trust in playerbase, trust in people deciding for themselfs and all just because they don't really feel it.
We have Roe woman and Miqo males and it's good that we do, the locking made people unhappy and just because something does not appeal to you personally does not mean it can't appeal to another.
Same as I don't agree with genderlocking some gear or the way a lot of gear looks different on males vs females........

I hardly post and there's a reason to because I just try to not get too worked up about stuff. But this...
Sad lala is sad.

Oh and yes it's just a game, I agree, but can we also agree we spend money on this game, time inside this game, we 'live' in this fantasy world just like we live outside of it.

this thread is hilarious.

[Feneroe]

Genderlocking viera and hrothgar is a huge step back. They really need to give them male and female versions respectively. They also should, imo, make male viera smaller than female and tone down hrothgar's bulkiness a bit so they're just not roegadyns dressing up as cat people. They should take a note from ronso designs (though larger females please!), especially since they're using ronso as the First's name for them.

[Cerbolt]

Well I'm super disappointed. I really wanted to play male viera

[New_Game_Plus]

I can't believe I'm saying this but this is the first time since I started playing FF14 that I've actually wanted to unsub.

Signed. I'll send your Spirit Bomb some of my energy.
