Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Greven]

Because we all know that's the purpose - Viera is a female-only race made by Akihiko Yoshida for FFXII - I wouldn't even want the race itself in this game because it could easily be mistaken for a lewd-one while it's totally the opposite as Yoshida is the best designer in Square-Enix (not even, he's freelancer since a while) together with Amano.

I am against every form of glamour, vanity and contents made for the social as like I've said already, this is an MMORPG, not The Sims. There are sites made on purpose where those eager to intense ERP sessions can waste their time into, just stay away from this game for god sake, glad Yoshi-P didn't even consider male Viera and bless him for dealing daily with this luckily small (not even anymore) but noisy part of community.

Again, stop embarassing SE designers with those requests.

You are playing with a Raen Au ra with Thancred mogstation hair. I can't see your whole character I bet it's either glamoured or has matching clothes though I can see that you changed some details of the face too. That already says it all about what it seems you stand for in your last posts.

Furthermore this game is heavy on content that are not catered for you it seems and everything was implemented by the same devs team. You don't need to believe you are on Yoshi side because, if you took even a few minutes to check, you'd know that he already thought about implementing Viera, males included, before HW and he does want to create contents for casuals, RPers etc. Maybe, just maybe, you have a wrong image of the game your are playing.

Last but not least: Viera are not a female only race.

Sooo much to tackle with this...

First of all, Viera are not a "female only race" as males do exist, but are rarely seen. Second, Viera first showed up in Tactics Advance in 2003 as opposed to your suggestion of XII which came out in 2006. Any race in the game is only as lewdly dressed as the person dressing it, all races can be lewd.

And I'm not sure what point you were trying to reach with the rest of your first paragraph with Yoshida being a freelancer... Yoshida is an Executive Officer at Square Enix, the Head of Square Enix's Business Division as well as being Director and Producer of FF XIV.

As to you being against glamour, well good luck with that. As every major MMO has; to some varying degree, a glamour/transmog system in it to stylize your avatar to your likes.

As to ERP. How is this affecting you if they're not doing so publicly? And if they are doing so publicly report them and move on, simple as that.

And as for Yoshida not considering male Viera, he actually has. There are Q&A's that have cropped up since the fanfest where he admitted to wondering if first completing a full set of Viera (Fe/Male) before doing Hrothgar. Right now he and the team are observing feedback to get a better understanding of what people are looking for in Male Viera before they proceed, as this will be the precedent for Male Viera as it'll be the first time they will have ever been seen outside of concept art.

About the topic, I totally agree to unlock genders about the two new races.
The reason is:
Female Roegadyn are rare... ok.
Male miqo'tes are.... with strange fingers.... ok.
Female Highlander are... the most "interesting" females around (but, yeah, this not the point u.u).

The point is: to have options!

Even if most of us don't play as a furry Hrothgar girl or a dude with rabbit ears it would be good to have options!

I love lore stuff! I am most driven by that, but in terms of playable races, I'd prefer more options in character creation rather than gender locks for lore sake.

Besides, lore can be worked out. The Vieras don't need to be exactly like they are in FFXII lore (there they are against the males and live only in female communities).
And it's great to avoid answering questions like: 'how they procriate?" "why I can't play as a male Viera?" and so on...


Wanna do a locked gender option to character creation? Include something based on the genderless Qu race from FFIX (that would be interesting as well, btw).

I support Male Viera (and female hrothgar)

It is 2019 there is no need for such an outdated practice that is genderlocking!

(Also warning watch out for the trolls in here! Don't feed em!)

Yeah, I should have known better. Was hoping they were actually attempting an honest discussion, but that last post really sealed that hope behind a wall.

I already love how the Final Fantasy 14 team is re-imagining the lore, local, stories and races of the Ivalice final fantasies. The final raid-instance with Ramza and the unfolding of that story nearly had me in tears. It was beautiful and such a love-filled homage. Additionally, as far as FF12 is concerned, the bangaa brothers being painted in a more honorable light was such a treat. If we go back to Dalmasca as the WoL I am SO excited to see how the characters and events differ further.

Adding male viera, beside their female counterparts, could do these exact same things! Having male viera would just be another wonderful way to re-tell these beloved stories. Imagine, we could get an even deeper look into viera culture in a way yet unseen in the other Ivalice final fantasies!

Oh and you think that the bara furry men won't be ERP fuel? I hope your all ready for some yiff, yiff from this community because we are heading straight to the downtown slums of deviant art.

Also. Lalafel ERP is a lucrative business in this game. What you on about?!

Sure, if they feel like putting male viera in the game, I'm cool with it. If not, no biggie. When it comes to reasons I'd play or quit a game, available races is way down near the bottom of the list. I'd rather see them put the time into creating a tackle box, adding more storage in general, or allowing us to craft using items stored with my retainer. Things that would actually effect gameplay.

I just hope thinking the Hrothgar are kinda sexy doesn't make me a furry. They're just so big and muscly... but I'm not a furry. I know I'm not.

That would be great!!

Besides, in terms of Hrotghar culture, they could create a female as a great warrior from the past. Someone like Lagherta (vikings series) with power and knowledge to be a great leader. I would enjoy playing as one with that in mind
