I'm back. I prepared this in advance, and posting it as they are clapping for these ridiculous cat race. Let me first say this: I hate Hrothgar because they came at the cost of male Viera and I'm not going to forget this ever.

Well it seems that they’ve gender-locked Viera and Hrothgar after all.
How disgusting, sexist, and homophobic - still uncomfortable designing male bunnies huh? You know I’ve really come to see this all as an attack on my identity especially after several of my posts in this thread were reported and I was banned because apparently someone is upset that I was very vocal about why I want male Viera and the fanart I was posting? I’m not sorry about what I said back then and this attempt at silencing me failed.
You know what would have been nice? Not being so secretive and being up front with us from the start, but no, they just had to cash in on everyone’s preorders before throwing this in our faces. This is why you cannot trust preorders these days at all. Thank god I had the foresight to not buy Shadowbringers. I can’t imagine that they would have refunded me. After all that I’ve seen I’ve come to the conclusion that this was a predatory tactic that took advantage of people’s trust, and they will go out of their way to silence anyone who speaks out against them. They are being anti-consumer and anti-player with the way they are behaving.
So in the end, they lost the money I was about to spend on the expansion, my recurring subscription which I have canceled, and any other Mog Station related purchases I would have made for fantasias/outfits/mounts. I refuse to be taken advantage of and I refuse to blindly follow this game into the abyss it’s going to sink into at this rate.
Good riddance and goodbye.

The Hrothgar faces look like they're masks. The Kimarhi example looked decent, but I think the others need some work.

I think its just the total lack of any kind of facial animation in the video they showed, which hopefully is just a work in progress

Get ready for that 1h+ leveling que as DPS/tank while you wait for that heal slot to fill up.

Hopefully the battle system maintenance has some big reveals, but at this stage I've got severe doubts.

this is overdramatic but its pretty obvious that there's no reason we can't have male viera other than that they didn't want to have feminine males. it's 2019, we shouldn't still be genderlocking poo poo, also the ronso just look terrible. who wanted buff cats

they could add 3 new tank jobs and tank queues would barely push 10 minutes

I'm unsubbing until male Viera are added, sorry devs. I love the game, but I have been hoping for this for a really long time (well before Viera were confirmed or hinted at coming to the game). I understand this is probably a little childish, but I'm not worried about appearing that way.

I'm happy the Ronso crowd got their race, but I'm very disappointed we've yet again taken the route of "men big manly" and "women sleek sexy". Games with genderlocking in races and classes NEVER keep my attention. Black Desert looks great, for example, but my favorite classes are female only so I just can't bring myself to play it.

Unfortunately, between BLU, no male Viera, and (so far) no healer... I'm just really let down.

Please consider bringing us male Viera very soon.

I'll be selling healer queues at a premium. New jobs don't change the role balance so we'll be waiting for tanks anyways.

There's a live letter in May and they're expecting 3-4 hours to go over battle system changes.

This will most likely be a levelling problem, and we'll have trusts to handle those in 5.0.

I imagine most healers will keep healing at max level regardless.

Speaking of, Nomura was mentioned as being a monster designer for the 8man raids, right?

They featured Bahamut/Alexander/Omega, so I wonder what the story of that will be. I was gonna say 1st Shard's version of those, but then I remembered Bahamut is a dragon, so he'd only be on our world. It's a bit odd to bring back Omega "right after" beating him in a way, could it be some AU future where we weren't around to stop any of them and they got stronger?

Calling it Eden (with a plant), having a bunch of Spooky Angels everywhere, and hauling in Nomura all points to that it's going to have a bunch of Biblical influences. I'm still betting on Shadowbringers having a ton of FF4 references, too, so I think the Tower of Babil will be a wing.

The story had something to do with returning and rebalancing the elemental aether to the land. Goth gf plays a role. I don't think they said who the main antagonist would be, but it would be msq related.

Mostly just to say "this is an 8-man raid series, like they were, but I think also to illustrate that all of them center around a single summon (hey, Omega was a summon in Dissidia :v:) from the Final Fantasy series, and well, Final Fantasy VIII sure had a curious one.
