I'm concerned for ffxiv's future

there's also the fact that there's a limited pool of "talented" programmers that can also A. speak japanese, and B. live and work in Japan. there's also that Square Enix can't have a humongous department solely dedicated to FFXIV just so that OP's wish for everything they want can be fulfilled. there are limits to what a company wants to spend and do. more people equals more salary, more overhead, more computers, etc. also where are you going to put all these people that you want to have them hire? can HR handle all these people?

As much as I am pro male viera, but glamour is never going to be the death of this game... unless they released playable children (bc lets be real, ppl would do bad things with said children and the media would destroy us all). That being said, yes it sucks we are not getting male viera/female hrothgar. Who knows, maybe they will expand and get more workers and money in a later expansion. If ShB does really well then perhaps this may become a thing. But its just glamour. Its not the core feature of the game... that being gameplay. If the game itself breaks, the ui becomes befuddled and bad, if the servers start crashing nonstop, and none of these issues are fixed. Then yes... yes this game will die. But glamour is really the added bonus and an aesthetic.
