Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

There is no way in heck they would be added by 6.0 MAYBE 7.0.

I dont see it that way personalyl. It takes 1.5 years t omake the genders we currently have, considering that it would take less time to make the missing ones, I think that its very likely we will get them on 6.0

I'm not going to bother with 'hope'. If they add them? Great. If they don't add them? It's a shame, but understandable.

I personally get excited for things, even if they arent granted, and If I egt disapointed I have at least been excited for a while. Id encourage yo uall to do the same (ofc, not forcing you to do anything, but I think this can make things easier in ur lives

Presently it sits at 72 likes, taking first place now as the most liked question (within the first few pages).

its also the most liked question by now, with over a 100 likes. It shows SE that the things theres the most demand for in the game currently is the missing genders. Keep up the amazing support guys, and it might be of great help to see the missing genders here at, or maybe if we are lucky, even a tad bit before 6.0 ^^

6.0 is when I expect a straight forward answer, nevermind the race and even that might be reaching.

I don't see 7.0+ as viable for their addition looking at all the limitations on just female Viera and male Hrothgar now add 2 more expansions worth of gear and oh boy we are looking at much worse Limitations, 1 more expansion worth of stuff is going to add more limitations like maybe no feet are allowed to be shown, 2 faces for male Viera/female Hrothgar etc.

I truly believe its 6.0 or bust for their inclusion in ffxiv because by 7.0+ they may look at their 3rd MMO thus resources would start to be diverted.

Same with texture updates. The longer they delay it, the costlier it becomes and the more its expected return on investment falls. I’d think that for it to be viable, it’d need to be during 6.0.

As for their 3rd MMO, I wouldn’t get any hopes up given their comments on what they envision it’d be like - sounds like a very different beast to XIV.

Completely agree. The gear remodel is the issue, makes no sense for them to wait until 7.0 when ti will be harder. My bet (not confirmed) is that they are planning to work on male viera and female hrotgar on 5.1

Yea the longer they leave them the more likely it has been shelved, as it just would not be worth the huge investment for them.

7.0 is around 4 years away a lot in the gaming industry can happen in that time for all we know 6.0 could be BfA but 10x worse XD(doubtful based on 5.0 but can't rule it out until i perfect time travel )

xD actually, 5.0's stor ywas great, but the end game content meh, I will wait unti l5.1 for a final judgment, but for now, it seems the expac onyl relies on first impressions and msq, the genderlockign of the races is one of the worst decisions they've yet made, the new jobs are fun, but we are really lackign healers, healers absolutely suck rn, theres little end game content specially compared to WoW, there sitn really any new innovative systems on the game and we are lacking a lot in the gear department specially for DNC looking gear, overall, the MSQ is absolutely brutal, but everything else is meh, my opninon, feel free to have your own (and plz, no 'ZEYLOS IS EVILLLLL' Episode today would be appreciated as my bithday gift ^^)

Yes, with all these other things on their plate, I think they'll get pissed and they'll just slap a(slightly) modified Miqote head on a Miqote body and say "Here's your male Viera" and for female Hrothgar, put a modified femroe face on a femroe body. I'd be okay with that, but I'm sure others wouldn't be.
