Male Viera... Unsubbing for now.

[Physic]

So straight males get to live out their sexual fetishes of being surrounded by sexy cat girls bunny girls and elves, but the moment there's a sexy bunny boy ya'll want to get triggered. And to think you're calling people weird and saying they'r lunatics. Good god get a grip

why is it you think male viera is going to be somehow more sexy than any other race? body type wise from concept art it would have been inbetween miquote and au ra. Also, why is your fantasy for bunny bois superior to someone else fantasy for cat men? also what does this have to do with straight or not straight? many groups fantasize about males and many fantasize about females, and there is an even number of males and females.

also, males a generally already in the probably male vierra category, whereas there is only one large stocky male race.


the reality is peoplemare just salty because they didnt get the male type they wanted, which you are free to complain about, but dont act like anyone is being persecuted here. large stocky males are underserved and ignored male type in this game world.

>The quote I quoted is someone getting triggered about male bunny buts running aroung
>I never said one was superior than the other, I'm calling out the person I quoted on their hypocrisy
>Female Viera are very simialar to female models we already have in game.
>Sex appeal is subjective, the concept art was a prefect balance between miquote and elezen/aura.

Not unsubscribing. But to the people cackling about "oh it's just aesthetics", you read pretty closed-minded and ignorant about the fact that there are multiple ways to enjoy this game. Just because something like say, design, doesn't interest or excite you doesn't mean other people feel the same way. And they're not wrong for it either.

It's common for people to say, half-joking, that glamour is the true endgame. I've also seen squabbles between players who focus everything on fight mechanics versus players who are deeply invested in the lore. Crafters and gatherers are still legitimate players, as are people who focus on the Gold Saucer or RP.

If you want a simple, one-dimensional game where everyone likes and dislikes the same thing... FFXIV might not be the best choice.

Sure there's a lot of salt and overreaction and I won't be unsubbing anytime soon, but the decision is baffling.

Male Viera was a chance to get a little creative, add something new to the game and definitely fan requested. Then they'd have had Hrothgar or Ronso (both genders) as something to keep in the bag for the expansion after. Less salt, most players happy. I can't see what they gain from this. I've never seen a "please add male Hrothgar" request in the forums or ingame in... well, forever. What's the benefit of the genderlock?

So there are rational people on the Official Forums! I would have loved both genders but this outrage is a bit much. Then again, not sure what I expected. This literally happens every time anything is announced.

I can promise you tantrums aren’t going to have the effect you desire, if you present your grivneces in a calm cilvilized mater then yeah that might get some consideration. A tantrum however is just going to make people go “okay wow this person is crazy” and make any legimate point you might make invalid because you won’t be taken seriously.

There will always be people in discussions that take overdo it but where exactly did the OP throw a tantrum? He even said that he is happy for those that wanted the other race but that this and other points have disappointed him and that he will now unsub. That is a reasonable post. He did not call the devs or anyone else names and yet quite some posters have answered quite rude. I mean there is even a thread where someone is quite happy that the people who want to now unsub will be gone because they are bad for the game and not a FF fan at all. That was imo one of the worst threads I have read today and it was from someone of the other side. (Again not that there arent some that are overdoing it either)

There are no surveys when you dont sub anymore, the only way to give feedback is the forum. Thus why people post that and on top of that give even a reason why. That is far away from a tantrum.

(Lets not forget that the forums were quite heated after the shirogane desaster too and thanks to that and some negative PR on other sites, they gave us way more houses)

This is a great point. I personally play FFXIV to socialize, it's a place where I can actually "see" my online friends and do stuff with them besides talking on discord. As I consider it kind of a meeting place, I do care a lot about how my character looks and I jokingly call XIV as my dress-up simulator, glamour being a big motivator for me to farm stuff in the game. I play the game pretty casually, try my best to do well but don't really touch the harder content. I cap my tomes and excluding Eureka I've done quite a few relics as well.

My point is that I don't go around yelling at SE to stop making raids and extreme primal fights since they don't cater to me. I'm glad that there's that kind of content for people to enjoy too. I was legit disappointed right there with the world first raiders when SE announced they wouldn't do an Ultimate fight for 4.5, following the UWU progression was a fun experience. I don't know why people feel the need to put down others who do enjoy glamours and the character they play as, realize not everyone plays the game like you and enjoys the game in the same way as you do and that doesn't make their enjoyment any less valuable.

Sign me up for that.

What happened to your old post? It vanished? I didn't see anything wrong with it?

There is no way the devs could have pleased everyone. For example, I couldn't care less about Viera, but am EXTREMELY happy about Hrothgar. Some people feel the opposite. Last time we got Au'ra and some people loved it others hated it. Such is part of life, not every wish we have will become true. Yet a vocal minority feels entitled enough to rain on everyone else's parade and not respect the dev's work. Look, if you're going to unsub over a missing cosmetic appearance change (which is all races are about) that has zero impact on gameplay, maybe it was time to take a break from the game after all. Male bunnies and F ronso will most definitely come eventually, so hopefully you come back by then.

imagine quitting a game over cosmetics
