EW will be the end of the current story and the beginning of a new one, separate from the rest. Does that mean that 7.0 will be the overhaul for new players incoming? Maybe, but we haven\\'t even heard whispers about that and EW isn\\'t even out yet so there\\'s nothing we can do except fruitlessly argue on the OF and I\\'ve been in this game for over a decade now and learned a long time ago that there\\'s no point in wasting mental energy on maybes and hoping to get everything you want.

Even if all of the above happened and we got our overhaul and they were going to add a new race, do you think Garlean would even be on their list? I personally don\\'t think so, looking at au ra and how they preferred hrothgar over viera, which was tacked on for the fanservice. Garleans don\\'t give us anything new at and are just hyur-eared elezen with a white ball stuck in their head.
You can say the same for literally every race. Hrothgar are just hairy roes. Viera are just elezen with bunny ears. It’s just funny to me people are so quick to shut these things down, but then cannot even back up their claims with accurate lore or things the devs have said. Yoshi P himself said while before they didn’t think they could add more races after hrothgar and viera, now that they’ve been backed more, it is a possibility in the future whereas before it was a hard no. All they’ve done is reached for lore things. They literally bend the lore all the time. They did it for female roe, they did it for male miqote, they did it for male viera. This isn’t anything new. People still using the idiotic lore excuse despite Male Viera literally being here. I thought y’all would have learned lmao.Also, hilarious to me you say there’s no point “wasting energy on maybe’s and hope you get what you want.” Yet...guess what? Omg that’s exactly why we got Male Viera! Idk what this clownery line of thinking is...but it’s literally been refuted in multiple instances.
