Single Sex Races

[Shougun]

I cant find the reason for this topic, I mean you dont want Vieras in the game?or what?
I can find Vieras awesome and I would even pay to change my Miqo'te into one but for males im sure Yoshi-P will find something.
He has done a great job on ARR so im sure a male-only race wont be any problem for him

OP is talking to one of Yoshida's comments. Yoshida said he finds male bunnies weird and that he is more interested in doing something more wild / different. But we dont really know what he is talking about except for one time he mentioned dragons.

So OP said if you find one sex weird don't make a one sex race again like FFXI, just dont make the race.

(Really only Galka's were one sex, because there were male mithras - SE in FFXI just didnt let you play them)

I don't understand the point of saturating the game with furries. The difference between a Miquote and a Vierra is really small, and now you have another race to design armor sets for.

Races should be able to appeal to different types of gamers - in most situations, the same person who likes a Miquote is likely to enjoy a Vierra because they're literally the same thing. The idea that there aren't male Vierras, or "male bunnies" is also ridiculous.

I don't really want a new race, but if there is one it has to fit some sort of interesting demographic that isn't touched that will appeal to players who aren't playing the game, or something that works seamlessly into the already established game world. The primary purpose of a new race isn't for old players, it's for potential customers.

First, let me say that since we already have the cute cats, I would rather the next race be something a little more...different.

BUT I do agree that when they add a race, they need to add both genders to it - Yoshi-P's boybunny fear aside. If not, then FFXVIII will have to be remade to include the missing genders (>.>)

OP your a idiot... they have already shown us male and female versions of ALL races for the past 5months >.> pay attention before you make yourself look stupid lol

Read the OP/thread before you post and make yourself look SILLY (that's nicer than stupid).

He was talking about the future, if they add Vierra (the bunny girls). Yoshi has said again and again that he doesn't like the idea of male Vierra, so one option he mentioned is adding the female Vierra, then some other male-only race to compensate.

I never was a fan of male miqo'te or female roegadyn. I for one liked the different gender-specific races and i feel it adds a bit of lore and mystery to the world. I still don't know who or why people wanted a male miqo'te or female roegadyn. Who actually looks at the sexy cat/bunny ears and tail and thinks "you know, I want a dude to have ears and a tail" or looks at the roegadyn and says "you know, i bet a muscular and beefy looking woman would be fun to play."

EDIT: I don't understand why having gender-specific races in an MMORPG when there a a variety of other options for each gender makes OP so upset.

I don't see an issue with this topic or at lest the way the first responder responded. Honestly I am kind of confused myself as to what would be so bad about male "bunny" characters it's not like they haven't existed before. I was going to comment how maybe only female Viera existed but that's not the case the Viera seem to share the same mentality as the Mithra in a sense but ina different manner.

If I"m not mistaken in XI the Male Mithra are like mates, they help reproduce since male Mithra are harder to come by than the female equivalent so they remain in the mainland and are usually pale in complexion because of how little they do go out.

With Viera they seem to just live in separate communities only needing to come together when needed aka mating. However there has not been any Viera male art or at least from a quick look around there has been nothign official and it's usually been just males.

Of course with that said, it doesn't mean that if they did decide on a female bunny race they would have to use the Viera model they could just design them differently to make a male equivalent more viable.

I mean a simple way to go about the difference between a bunny man and woman, is the bunny men could have short ears and more slender arms, their longer arms are for defensive purposes allowing them to strike harder and with more force. While the female bunnies on the other hand have long ears and more slender legs, in the mentality of their community the females are usually told to stay back away from danger so their powerful legs are used for running away from danger so that they can protect their babies and such meanwhile the males will stay behind to fight off any threats that come at them.

But ya, I did find that comment odd to, that he would consider something else for males when it came to a bunny avatar. Just seems rather odd considering the trouble they went through to make the muscle bound woman, the male miquote and the female galka <_< I'm not gonna spell that other name. It would feel likea step backwards to decide that just because they are bunnies people aren't going to want a male version or to play as a male version of them.

I think the reason why he says this most is because he has another race in mind. The one consistent thing he says about the race in his mind is wild, different, sometimes uses dragon or dragon like.

So I'm thinking he is going "what some people want?" "what I want?". Like when he decided to remove arrows and people were like... who bitched about arrows? Yoshida has his own vision of the game, its not like he is always going to do exactly what the forum/poll says.

Also with the poster above me, when Yoshida got the poll results back he was like "I didnt mean Vierra - I meant something animal like...."

Shougun gets it, like usual.

Sex does not matter in MMOs anymore.. you're always gonna have about 90% of the population be dudes playing as girls anyways...
