New player here - why no bunny boi?

[Yma]

Hey all!

I just started playing last week, and have already bit the bullet and bought the expansions up to shadowbringer.

What is the history behind the Viera? It seems so weird to me to have a female only race!

I would love to play a male with bunny ears. A Hrothgar Tigress would have been pretty cool too!

Will there ever be the option to make a male bunny boi?

You will be able to play as male Viera when Endwalker releases.

Seriously? Yoshi-P literally told us male Vierra will be available in Endwalker. Do some research before posting here please? Otherwise people will think your trolling or worse and be less kind than others like me.

Omg! That's so cool!

Good news everyone! I hear you get free phantasia at level 50 - I will save it for that!! :-D

PS - female hrothgar as well, by any chance?

[GDofLevin]

According to Yoshi-P yes its in the works. When we don't know.

Male Viera will be added this November with Endwalker, but they're included in the Endwalker benchmark, if you want to have a look at them. As for female Hrothgar, they've confirmed they're coming, but no indication when as of right now.

Viera were a race that appeared in certain previous Final Fantasy titles -- for example, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Final Fantasy XII. In the lore of those games, Viera were actually a female-only race. How does that work? I honestly don't know, and I don't it was ever explained, but that is at least why male viera were not originally planned for this game. [Edit: I was wrong, male viera do exist in those worlds but they live separately from females] However, it is something enough players have been asking for, so they're coming with the next expansion.

Female hrothgar are something they're planning to bring us some time in the future, but there is no solid timeline yet.

Wow, imagine the audacity of a FFXIV player posting on the game's public forums.

"Kind," lol. Sure, buddy. That's what you were being.

Considering they supposedly only started playing last week it's not impossible that they simply aren't aware of these things. I'm not sure why anyone would think they are trolling just for being unaware. There's nothing that would indicate that. lol If your aim was to help I think you missed the mark.

I'd rather the new players ask what they want on the official forums so they can get back to playing the game, rather than watch every keynote for every expansion before they feel prepared enough to ask.
