Male Viera... Unsubbing for now.

[LiteBrite]

A female Viera, long ranged dps, dancer class... No thank you, I'll pass.

What I don't get is why "unlocking" Miqo'te and Roe compared to v1 and FFXI to lock race now.
???

Not everyone who disagrees with you is a social justice warrior. However, when people add their perspectives/biases to their arguments that doesn't necessarily mean their opinions are invalid. The majority has spoken that gender locks are a horrible decision-regardless of whether they prefer Hrothgar or Viera.

You have no evidence to say that the "majority" don't want gender-locked races. Just like no one has evidence of the opposite. All we have are the forums and social media... which A) Only represent about 1% of the actual population of FF14 players, and B) is heavily, heavily skewed to the negative, because you are 1000% more likely to post to complain about something than you are to praise something.

Thus he used the term "vocal minority" because that's exactly what it is. If SE thought it would significantly affect them financially to not have male Viera, then they would have made male Viera. But obviously their metrics show otherwise.

unsubbed ~_~

I'm unsubbing until male Viera are added, sorry devs. I love the game, but I have been hoping for this for a really long time (well before Viera were confirmed or hinted at coming to the game). I understand this is probably a little childish, but I'm not worried about appearing that way.

I'm happy the Ronso crowd got their race, but I'm very disappointed we've yet again taken the route of "men big manly" and "women sleek sexy". Games with genderlocking in races and classes NEVER keep my attention. Black Desert looks great, for example, but my favorite classes are female only so I just can't bring myself to play it.

Unfortunately, between BLU, no male Viera, and (so far) no healer... I'm just really let down.

Please consider bringing us male Viera very soon.

The Ronso crowd only got half their race. And trolls can't use the "LORE REAZONS" bs because female ronso are already a thing.

You have no claims to back up where the game is headed aside from your personal feelings because you didn't get what you wanted. Also, pulling the misogynist card....really? Just stop. This is embarassing.

You're a female Highlander, without people like this petitioning for genders on races you wouldn't exist. That is what's embarrassing and hypocritical.

[LyraKuroneko]

No Viera male for lore reason don't stand either as the lore itself says they exist.
It's to wonder how we got male Miqo'te and female Roe lol...

That's a good point. Without community outrage like we are seeing now, she wouldn't even be able to play her race. Community outrage got us female roes and male miqo.

Good luck. Has there ever been a male Viera in final fantasy game. Because don't remember ever seeing one in any of them.

[Colino]

wooow. this isn't an SJW issue. This is, at the WORST a false advertising issue, and at best a VERY skeezy, shady 'hide the facts as long as we possibly can so people maintain the hype for things' issue.

I mean, Yoshi went out of his way to NOT confirm Male Viera at any point, so to deem it false advertising is, at the WORST, a stretch and at best a VERY big stretch.

That's a good point. Without community outrage like we are seeing now, she wouldn't even be able to play her race. Community outrage got us female roes and male miqo.

When Roe and Miqote were gender-locked, the game had MUCH bigger problems to sort out first. Sure there were people asking for it but to say the main reason they brought in the opposite genders was community outrage is hyperbole, we have more than one reason to believe they would have been introduced in ARR anyway. Your point's still valid, I'm just saying.
