Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Billy, that's a very petty argument.
Yes, Male Viera exist, however they were never seen once. They're a whisper in the woods, they're not Warriors of Light.
You're pretending to not understand why this is bad just so you can keep your argument up, please stop repeating yourself, it's not a good argument.

I'm pretty sure Hydaelyn can champion whomever the heck she wants.

Male Viera should've been standard, though I hope they realize that it was a mistake and that gender locking is a really sad "feature"

I hope that SE realizes this, male viera and female hrothgar would be ideal for RPers and other players.

[Mael-bess]

Yeah, if a legit ivalice game finally included them i would be all for it. Except it's not the case yet.

What are you talking about? Male Viera exist in the lore of Ivalice games, like FFXII and tactics.

[Angelitus]

Which is inherantly sexist lore. Male verias are "only good for breeding". They are literally captives that cannot leave and serve no purpose aside from having babies.

Explain your thoughts on this matter if it was females we were talking about. The entire lore of veira and miqo'te is INCREDIBLY sexist and discriminatory.

I couldn't explain it better. Sexism and racism have no room in Final Fantasy. Please come together to voice it out as a whole community

Honestly Hikelos I find the idea of "a whisper in the wood" hearing the call of Hydaelyn to be so gooooood though!!! Making the heart-wrenching choice of remaining with dearest family or to leave them in order to save both them and the realm? Dear god that's such an emotional story hook fit for a WoL!!

Wow over 800 upvotes. D: I think this might be one of the most upvoted post in this forum. Just shows how many want that gender.

Dear Square-Enix and Yoshi-P,

We now live in 2019. A year where gender equality is rising and sexism is to be dismissed. As you may know, young generations are the future and those who will be deciders in the coming years. Also they are the ones who are the main consumers of your products. If the youngest of your players are influenced by such unorthodox thoughts at such early age, these thoughts begin to form the foundation of their opinions of genders, thus forming in as toxic masculinity or other harmful thoughts about minorities. Entertainment business has always been the main influence in shaping thoughts and cultures, and now it can be your place to make an influence. Make both Hrothgar and Viera playable as both male and female genders. It is very harmful to think that women are merely pretty and sexy while men are seen mainly strong and aggressive. You have given us great NPCs in FFXIV that break these roles already, why stop now?

Please make the changes that abide the era we live in now, not what we lived in decades ago.

[Repliku]

What more would it take for XIV to be considered an 'Ivalice game' to you? Because I mean we were there, we have some of the races, we have a chunk of the lore, some people were involved in both.

You guys need to make up your mind, you've been arguing they could change things because "it's not a main ivalice game" and "because it's a main ivalice game".

Ok, by that same token Au'ra couldn't be the warrior of light either as they weren't around in 1.0 when the warrior of light was initially selected. How does that work?

Either the war between the green word and hydaelyn or the wood boughing to the mothercrystal are both so good.
