Genderlock reminder to SE

Did they not recycle models from FFXI and polish them up a bit? I think they might have taken some from FFXIII too. And I could have sworn I read somewhere they took Fran's model from FFXII or at least the remastered version.

Yes they literally can just copy paste something from another game they have access too and have done

Probably only reason why we have viera because they could ignore 50% of the work modeling and just use fran from ff12 remake

Also alot of the hair is ripped from that ff type zero game

This discussion isn't going anywhere anymore. Better let this thread die out just like OP died from it lol.

If anyone hasn't seen Mr. Happy's interview with Yoshi-P, I highly recommend it.

I think it goes without saying that putting in a Race or Job takes a lot of resources. But based on how many new jobs we've gotten versus races, it seem fairly clear that races take more resources than jobs.

They haven't said that we'll never get Male Viera or Female Hrothgar, and I think that is the best you can hope for at the moment. There are literally thousands of pieces of armor in the game now, all that have to be fitted to each unique body. All the hairstyles that have to be fitted to each head shape. All the new animations + the existing animations.

We have had an unbiased poll though. At least in terms of which race is more desired than the other, also content won't be cut, all Yoshida said was that it was resource and time intensive, nowhere in any statement did he say it would result in x or y content being cut. That's just a boogeyman tactic, that's like saying gunbreaker was added so they had to cut potential gathering content, or vice versa.

No, he has said many times now that with their current work flow this is all they can handle and still release content at the pace they are. That means that he and his team ( who know by now what it takes to make and release content in a timely manner) don't see themselves being able to continue at this pace well also supporting more base models.

This is important seeing as the steady flow of content keeps people coming back. So yeah, by his own words he's saying that as things are now somethings gonna be negatively affected.

Incorrect, he simply stated it's a large amount of resources due to the lack of optimization on how they restructure gear, never that it would negatively effect or cause content to be cancelled. As I've stated it's a fallacy to assume we would be getting content already in pre-production cancelled, such as the 24 or 8 mans as they are mostly likely being developed parallel to other projects. His statement was that releasing 2 full races AT LAUNCH would have been difficult with their current workflow.

Ergo it's presumptuous to assume this equates full stop to content already in development being cancelled, when it has not been stated but inferred, on top of that we know that whoever's working on the races will continue working on them for helmet fixes, so they won't be reassigned if we continuously infer that they will only release that sometime during 5.1 which iiiis when the 8 man raids should be out.

So why are we including the people who don't care one way or another into the equation? :v I mean, I'm not disagreeing with you, I just don't see the relevance. In general the majority isn't going to care about anything. The majority didn't care about the 1.0 genderlocks either. There were even less topics about those races than there are about the new ones. The fact there is a sizable number of people speaking out about the issue is significant in and of itself.

1- this game is much bigger than it was back then. I can't say anything about how much people cared about anything back then but yeah, WAY more people playing prob increases the number of people who bother going to the forums over time.

2- these people are paying players who come back to the game month by month (or however often they sub) for a diverse list of reasons. If by large most of them don't care much about getting something that WILL put added stress and strain on the dev team going forward and slow down content releases then yeah, that should and will be something the team thinks about. Just like how he said they're looking at the temperature of the demand. Saying some drive by support post like " yeah, that Would be cool" prob ranks low on the scale.

So the faction of a fraction of the fan base being vocal about wanting something that will effect everyone should not be the be all end all of decisions. Heck, the non English speaking side of this very forum doesn't makr this nearly as big of a deal.

Because thats what SE wants, scare away long-term subscibers.

If you were that unhappy about the male viera issue, you would have unsubbed already like those that supposedly done so already.

If people want to scare away themselves that's on them.

Something like that will not turn away the vast majority of long term subscribers.
