Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[zeylos]

I noticed that and was happy Viera were getting so much attention in "story" and sad that Hroths were kinda getting sidelined. I mean, I'm sure the GNB trainer will be a Hroth because they INVENTED the job, but so far they've mostly been shown as generic PC stand-ins (for PLD and MNK, I'd have liked if the most recent CGs had a Hrothgar GNB but they made him a MNK...which is still fine because it's one of 2-3 AF sets which shows off the fur patterns).

Totally out of the left field prediction-I have no basis for this: If the final zone is back in the Source, I'd expect it to be in Garlemald's doorstep, which from the Eorzean side is the homeland of the Hrothgar. This could allow us to "see" the Helion queen as we've been avoiding Ilsabard for too long. Before the whole shard-hopping was revealed, I was expecting 5.0 to take place in the Garlean Empire, so we still have that area to see in 6.0 (that is, 5.3+, when the new expansion is being set up, would deal with what's been happening in the Empire while we were Dancing around the First).

I think we'll see the helion queen on a veil at 5.0-5.3 and a male viera at 5.3-5.5

Well, to be completely fair, at least we somehow know Viera are around, because Fran and her rebel group that may or may not have more of them, but as far as our characters and the current MSQ are concerned, Hroths "don't exist". That said, I agree - the GNB trainer should be a Hrothgar, but it wouldn't surprise me it's any other race who learned GNB from one instead.

male hrot get like 1/10 of the screenshot fem vieras get

Not only with Viera, female characters get 90% of screentime when it comes to the trailer, artwork etc.

I think vieras are shown more mostly because we actually have their village as a area? Idk about hrothgar hometown but I don’t think we visit their village. I also hope Fran is in the story or at least side quest because if she talks I’d like the same voice actress from 12 so that’s not happening lol

I think that SE kinda lied about the different animal faces too. It's lion 1 lion 2 lion 3(some might say ronso, but those are lions) and coeurl.

SE has also lied many times in the past, it's nothing new, not even new with 14

What are these lies you keep mentioning? The thing about the wolf face was a bad translation of an interview. A bunch of people ran with it as confirmation of a wolf face without fact checking.

They said it was a wolf face. if it was a mistranslation, then it wasn't a lie, but they did say it.

SE said things like:The housing system won't require you to keep your sub active, we are against genderlock... ETC...

Both of which turned out to be complete lies

The 'Kimahri' face is a hybrid between feline and canine features. It qualifies as 'wolf-like'.

The housing system and gender locks are unfortunate, though businesses often change their stance on many subjects. They have no obligation to keep every single promise they state and expecting them to do so simply leads them to be even more vague in the future when discussing their plans.

The word 'lie' assumes malice. I doubt there is any. They've explained their reasons for doing things in the way that they did and it may not may not change in the future. That's the best we're going to get for now.

Eh I havent said the dev team is evil. Also, I don't get why are u so pesimistic, but that's just my way of seeing life I guess? I'd rather be dissapointed than sad all along

I'm not pessimistic or sad. I'm largely happy with the development and their plans for the future. The recent trailer looked promising and E3 outlined numerous games that I'm looking forward to playing when they release.

If its a Mistranslation, then how did they say it?....
