Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Kelryth]

I just returned and have no idea what I'm doing. Some of my favourite spells have been removed as well like Protect...LOL

Seeing 5.25 bet we will see female hrotgar at 5.55 or 5.45. Seeing how little content this expansion is getting, and how rushed it feels ,can only hope it is so the devs can put male viera and female hrotgar at 6.0, which would make sense considering how little glamour they are adding

[TheMightyMollusk]

We'll probably see the Hrothgar Queen at the end of the relic quests in 5.5x, just like we saw Fran in 4.5 and unmasked Yugiri in 2.55. They always preview the female model of the new races first.

I really hope we see both in 6.0 but I disagree...we’re getting a ton of glamour these days between ishgard and maps and new dungeons, along with the occasional pieces in GS and events (granted the Valentine’s Day event was a big disappointment for hroth and viera ;-; ). Sure, the latest dungeon was yet another Shire recolor but the accessories are new models and they are very pretty, particularly the earrings imo.

Seeing the 5.25 content made me hopeful for the missing genders.

I saw that one line that said something like "I'm sorry the Queen couldn't be here" and I just... smiled, it's not confirming anything, but nice nod

I think we are getting good glamour yeah, but less than heavensward and stormblood (at least what it feels to me, dont really know the numbers) and I really, really doubt they're teasing female hrotgar queen just not to show her, and if they show her then they probs have to release female hrotgar of the itnernet will burn lol. Can already see them using bozja to showcase female hrtos and the first/last trailer havign a male viera. The hype will be insane. Dosent confirm anything though so Im not gonna say its 100%, just seems very likely and Im more than happy to patiently wait

[Anvaire]

I'm really hopeful given the new content that we will see a male Viera / Female Hrothgar reveal. But more so due to this

The take away for me though is this line:

"I am aware of the desire to include a different gender of each of these races, but I’m afraid this feedback is not something we can easily incorporate. We are doing our best, but… that’s about all I can say now."

To me, it suggests they are trying to include them and at the moment it makes sense to not be able to confirm anything at this stage... if they are coming, we won't get a hard confirmation until the fan festival or an in-game reveal like Fran/yugiri. (Though i think these came after the Fanfest announcement)

Just to note: Yugiri's face was revealed after the FanFest announcement, Fran was revealed before. Fran was more of a tease towards the new race, while Yugiri had been a subject of speculation since her original introduction (she used a modified miqo'te skeleton at first, and I vaguely remember theories wether she was a lizardfolk or a burmecian-like race). I distinctly remember Fran's introduction was before because I took a bunch of screenshots and posted them online.

Nitpick aside: I like that he's still taking questions about that, makes it seem like they're aware of the interest even if it doesn't confirm anything one way or the other.

What worries me is how they are saying adding them will impact development across the board.

In case if they do add them - it impacts delevopment proccess right now already. They're stretched, and that's noticeable in different aspects. All the updates we're getting so far are good, but you can see they're obviously working on something else - be it ARR rework, or races completion, or something new for future patches.
