Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[zeylos]

If they can say for 100% certain its not happening, they would say so.
If they can say outright no to playable child-characters, they can outright say no Male Viera.

Yeah but I bet even if they somehow 'could' say it, which would make little sense as they have stated many times if they can they will add them at some point hrought the games lifespan, they wouldnt say it because it would just be horrible PR

imo there really wasnt a 'high expectations fullfieled' announcement. I higly doubt many players were incredibly excited for PS5 which was already a given. 6.0 looks ok, but the trailer honestly didnt blow me away like the first Shadowbringers one did. Sage was cool, but idk, it was just 'cool', it wasnt breathtaking or spectacular in any way. Island feature we know close to nothing about and we only got a picture from, which was imo rather dissapointing. No belts which I dont think anyone cried of happines for. New story as always (Seems Zenos is the villan ) And a few more minor announcements that I cant even recall. The new zones look cool, but thats it. If that are 'high expectations' I really am confused as to what 'reasonable' expectations are, I would say it was a way weaker announcement than I expected (I expected there to at least be 1 element to blow me away) but well, I guess the next expansion will be fun. I am personally looking into blue protocol for late this year or the next which by the sound of it reminds me of a full anime ffxiv without pvp and action combat, so its got me quite excited tbh. Admittedly more than Endwalker

Yep, that's one I am keeping a close watch on too, tbh!

That's why I'm saying he won't. Again, I don't like the non-commital answers either, but right now he's stuck. I truly do believe he's willing to release them, but he can't confirm or deny at this point becaause either would be a PR disaster.

If he says yes, they're coming, but can't deliver (see: Viera hairstyles, also Housing availability for all without demolition timers), that's a PR disaster; if he says no, EVEN IF he clarifies he only means "not in 6.0", that's another PR disaster (can you imagine the number of people who'd come in here just to taunt "HE SAID NO SO SHUT UP!"? Even if he leaves the door open for later?).

MAYBE the May FanFest will surprise us, maybe it won't, but again, even if I don't like it, I know why he has to asnwer the way he does. And again, the fact that he's still answering that question, especially the way he just did "it's very hard to answer yes", sounds like an "I WANT to say yes, but I can't yet."

Yes it does sound like that, which is the slight fragment of hope I'm foolishly clinging myself to, maybe he dosent wanna say it yet, but to be honest its incredibly unlikely and I dont acutally expect it at all

Hope is fine as long as it doesn't become delusion.

The modding community says Hi.

Umm offtopic but this Hrothgar look is immaculate.

[Ramesses]

Keep pushing towards page 1,500...

[Realism_Snide]

I'm just putting a post on here to show my support for male vieras! Also hats for vieras and Hrothgar. Even though it might be unrealistic to get both.

[DarkMasamune]

The modding community says Hi.

What a GORGEOUS Hrothgar.

Just posting to say I support this cause, hello, hi, hope you're all doing well.

[Alleo]

I think I have read somewhere that there is also a mod now that enables all hats for Viera too? Would be great if people were allowed to use such mods without the fear of bans.
