Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Please, if u come here to insult others instead of apportion anything there is no need to post on this thread so u can feel better about making others feel bad

Even though what reivaxe said is pretty much true there.

No, they said that they expected this backlash. And where did they say they were considering making the other gender counterparts? If they had said that then we wouldn't have as many people up in arms about this situation, the most they've said so far is that they are listening to feedback and that they do not have the resources to make the counterparts at this time anyways. Also, further on the making armor designs less varied between the two genders, that isn't how the resources work at all. I said this earlier in the thread, at this point it's up to the higher-ups in Square whether or not the XIV development team gets the resources to make the counterparts, which in itself takes a lot due to having to make the skeleton+model, animations, fitting the armor, etc etc, it's a pretty expensive process.

Sigh go and watch the Mrhappy interview in where they say that they are considering it

Also I find it rather amusing at how many ppl takes the time to come to this thread to tell us they hope we won't get what we are asking for and to respect their opinion

This is what Yoshi-P said in the interview.

Short answer is we haven’t made a decision on that. The reason why we can’t say for sure. We need to optimize our work flow with the existing races and the new ones. After that, perhaps we do the other gender. But we don’t know right now.

We did consider Male Viera instead of adding an extra race, but we tried to take player feedback on adding a more beast like race as well as the strong desire to receive Viera. We did expect strong feedback on the gender lock. It was a tough decision, but we decided to do our best to meet both the player feedback and our development team’s vision. It will be very costly to add a new race or genders. So I won’t say no, but I would not like to set expectations high.

We haven’t had time to look at all of the feedback since this is our first day back at the office after the Tokyo Fan Festival. What was the general feedback from NA based on your experience? Were they upset about no Male Viera, no Female Hrothgar or both?

Thank you for the insight. Currently, we are putting together all the feedback. Depending on the feedback we are considering an official statement on the forums.

No, they just HAVE to tell you things that 20 other people said before because it coming from them is different

Lol, reading up on the last few pages and its nice to see that the "it's sexism!" Post have come out again with a nice dose of people complaining about HROTHGAR, the race that actually adds something to the line up, cause it's not what they wanted.


And people wonder why the devs ignore the whining of the West.

Lmao so Japan is part of the west now, because their community didn't like it either. Asking for something should not be so offensive to you people.

Thanks, you yourself made sure to point out on how they say that perhaps they do the other gender but they don't know right now.
I believe that is called....suprise surprise... Considering something!

Sigh It isnt about no male viera, it is about genderlocked races, and yes, for me it is, and I ask of you to respect that

Honestly, I think you are kind of blowing no male Viera way out of proportion. It would probably just be a Hyur/Miqo'te with bunny ears. That's what the females are.

If they are lala sized I would think that would be a little weird..

more options never hurt anyone and we can simplify races to something extremely basic all we want but doesn't change the fact they obviously look different and have multiple animations that set them apart

I would rather there be no gender-locking in the first place. I just don't think it's as big a deal as some people are making it out to be.

all a matter of perspective but it is a big deal to some.
