Dropping in to sign and show my support for male viera. Genderlocks have no place in a game like FFXIV.

Thanks,

+1 This Thread has my signature. I was over the moon at the Viera announcement however my excitement took a huge hit when Male Viera were dropped and Hrothgar where revealed instead.

I'm shocked to see Ronso in the game as they are a personal favorite however i feel that what we have been shown of them is a step backwards compared to previous iteration. [There too Butch and appear flatfooted compared to there FFX counterparts] hopefully this personal reception will change more when I've seen more.

I'm not alone in my substantial interest in removing gender-locking this is an archaic feature from MMO's decades old we've come to far to regress especially in a Triple A title.

Its sad to see the community respond with such toxicity, especially when FFXIV in its current iteration wouldn't even exist where it not for Yoshida and his team.
[THANK YOU]
However, I also found myself extremely upset by the omission of Male Viera, for me they have the potential to be something truly unique.
As previously stated above this hearkened back to the poor community relationship seen with other industry titans and left me reeling as, FFXIV has for me has been a beacon of light in the mire that the MMO market has become, Offering transparency and innovation where others failed.

In terms of Lore, that has been broken multiple times and the game has a multitude of potentially immersion breaking aesthetics and crossovers it confuses me that with the advent of 1.0 We're now backtracking an implementing a feature Yoshida identified as a problem and fixed over 6 years ago.

Ultimately I really hope the rest of the community seizes this opportunity to confer with the developers and improve upon FFXIV rather than continuing to spout toxicity towards one of the few companies currently demonstrating a willingness to Listen and Learn, this is a rare opportunity don't squander it.

ALSO GIEF FEOL OR IVALICIAN MOOGLES WE NEEDS ANOTHER CUTE RACE A MID WAY Between Lalafell and the other Races.

Yes, please. I would like Male Viera. Even if they are rare and special, we play as the WoL; by nature we are rare and special. While lore is important, the lore here is not SO tight that it can't allow for Male Viera in the same way we have Duskwights and Male Moonseekers. Please consider Male Viera as an option.

Also showing my support for male Viera as an option. Yes please and thank you.

I agree with this thread adding genderlocks back after removing them in 2.0 is a mistake and square enix is going to take damage because of it

[Armethalieh]

Yes male Viera please!

[Michou]

Hello everyone on the development team! I understand that adding new races is a very time and cost consuming thing to do, but adding in male Vierra is worth it! Seeing how so many people are very passionate over getting male Vierra is a good thing! It's a race in demand and we want to see them in game. Please add in male Vierra so that the guys can get in on the fun as well! No more genderlocks!

Here to show support! I was so disappointed when they announced there were no male Vieras. I just don't like the lore argument. They have control over the lore, and they're talented and competent enough to write something that pleases (mostly) everyone. I also think genderlock has no place in this game.

Genderlocking race is unfair. Female players would like to have some eye candy too, instead of getting male ronso. Male viera please (´；ω；`)
