Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[SturmChurro]

What exactly does any of this have to do with male viera? I'd suggest a new thread since people are wanting to do some weird tribalism thing right now. We need Zeylos back in here to set this place straight.

Let's see some ridiculous fan art, or something!

Yea, this thread has pretty much served its purpose.

This thread served its purpose a long time ago.
Literally its only still going out of Pure Defiance.

This thread will win medals when all is finally said and done... on to page 950.

I would prefer a design that is a bit more mature looking!

Shadowbringers seems to have outdone the other mmorpgs out right now, though as for how much money the new races made that is probably data only available to SE. Not everyone may have paid for a fantasia and some could be using the one obtained through the MSQ. They had to have made some money from the new races from the people that fantasiaed back from them as well, especially due to the hair limitations.

I think it's more of an issue of time/resource allocation, and priority. Even if the new races make them money, they aren't as important as other aspects of the game to them, that much is obvious. Not to mention the high cost involved in making them come to fruition. The commercial success of the expansion, even with the wide marketing appeal of the new races, could just mean more investment in other areas of the game. New races are a gimmick in this case. If they truly think the new races are finished - and that is my thinking -male viera/female hrothgar aren't even on the radar. They are taking their time with literally just hair, you really think they would prioritize the genders? I think not.

If the missing genders ever get added it will be due to demand, and ease of implementation, other things are on their schedule.

I.e. they have already made their money off of viera and hrothgar, this prospect is done for them. The missing genders may be something to make more in the future, and claim "fan service", best not to give a straight "no" for now.

They haven't completed the just released two new genders. It's pretty obvious to me that they won't begin to consider making new ones until those are near completion and relative to head gear and hair there appears to still be a lot to do. I think anyone expecting new genders for 6.0 is being optimistic assuming they even make the decision to make them. The new genders would require even more work given all the new gear being released in 5.0.

I'm not personally opposed to limited races which do not include everything previously such as hair for Viera. Although I hope we get many of the older styles and especially those that were paid for and awarded in game with considerable effort after all is said and done I'm very happy to have them even if we don't get all of what we would like.

If they do elect to include missing genders for 6.0 I hope the community is prepared to have them be far from complete.

And if it is a loss-leader

That should be losing prospect. :x Getting my terms mixed up.

I would love to be able to play a male bun.
