Just relax and support the devs

[Anesteria]

There is no way I would support the devs after what they've done to the Blue Mage fans.

we are very lucky to have a dev team that actually listens to the fanbase. Voice your concerns politely and be patient

Hello Mr. Dimension Traveller. We're very pleased to welcome you in our dimension, and are very interested in the technology and knowledge you used to break the limit of time and space. Please contact the CERN for further information.

if the comunity asks for a new race im definitly sure for both sex not only female or male yes we waited for more then 2 years but never thought that yoshi would come with a gender lock option and presenting it like its realy normal and common we are in 2019 and we dont realy care about the lore, like the did it for the miqote male now the male miqote is everywhere so comming with cheap excuse '' they dont fit the lore '' is the most unbelieveable funny think i was shocked when i saw the forum with gender lock topics and searched youtube and forums im realy dissapionted we never asked for gender lock and SE promised for never ever gender locks in future

[Neoyoshi]

Do not reward them for this badly thought out decision. They've caused countless people to rage quit the game overnight, myself included. They absolutely deserve to be criticized in this instance.

All these years and this is what drove you over the edge? Really?

Really?

[Gemina]

For the sake of repeating myself.
Lore is not a valid reason, we have Yokai watch minions, Rathalos, the Regalia (soon), Tomestone phones, Cloud's motorbike and much more that doesn't fit into XIV.
That excuse went out of the window the moment Lightning came bursting into our world.

Like this really ruins my "immersion"

As kind return, I'll repeat myself for the umpteenth time: Arguments like this are along the same lines of tankinis and pigsuit glamours. Players such as yourself use arguments like these as valid reason to lift restrictions. These collaboration items and glamours that we can obtain have absolutely nothing to do with lore. They are in-game items that we can obtain for fun and that is really the end of it. You're not going to find them in any of the pages of the lore books, or mentioned during the MSQ. Do you honestly think because you can ride yo-kai mounts or the SDS Fenrir that SE throws the importance of lore out the window? Because that is absolutely ridiculous.

Would you be happier if SE never included items like these in-game? We can just go right on ahead and throw out seasonal events, that new cute fat cat mount, any and all minions that have nothing to do with the game whatsoever. You know, because... reasons. Lore is extremely important because it establishes the very cause and reasons for the events that take place in-game that are canon that you're dismissing as a result of your own bitter judgment because for some odd reason, you think the presence of a whisper go mount is both reason and cause for male Viera to be playable. smh

[Deceptus]

They never said that these races weren't ever going to be finished. They've accomplished a lot and they work really hard. They are more than aware of people's distaste for gender-locks. I'm sure they don't feel great for leaving them half finished for now. But a compromise was made to add variety. Moreover lets not behave like beasts they never promised male viera.

Be thankful be supportive! Unsubbing won't help them make your dreams come true.

Edit: we are very lucky to have a dev team that actually listens to the fanbase. Voice your concerns politely and be patient

The SE dev team has proven over the last 5 years they don't truly listen to the playerbase. They implement most things exactly like they want to then hotfix it after it becomes the often predicted fiasco.

Respectful criticism is always better than negativity, but let's not white knight and have blind faith in developers who have a history of screwing up a LOT.

The meme phrase "You're not playing it right" exists for a reason.

[Belhi]

This is silly. The devs do have perfectly valid reasons for doing what they did even if people don't agree with it. However, as long as it is polite, giving feedback is important and more to the point, as consumers, players are completely entitled to vote with their wallets if it is something they feel strongly enough about.

Unhappy people should be polite and detailed in their feedback but if it is enough for them to no longer want to play FF14 that is their choice and people shouldn't be telling them to do any different. The devs need to provide a product the consumers want and if they cant do that the consumers should look elsewhere until the product becomes appealing again.

[Ayer2015]

Why would I support the devs when they are making decisions to dont agree with. I tend to not blindly support anything.

[Alleo]

If male bunny pixels are all it takes for you to quit, then maybe this game isn't for you. There was *never* any promise of Male Viera and throwing a temper tantrum about it just solidifies the thought in my mind that SE should have just said no when people started asking for Viera in the first place.

Or maybe people have been disappointed with the game for some time and this was the last straw?

I disliked their decision with Eureka, Blue and now with genderlocks. I also find it really bad that the healers got no new job. So for me this is probably the last straw and they need something huge that I like for me to buy the expansion now. And even if that happens I will only just sub every patch.

Everyone has a breaking point.
