Oxyclean posted:It's totally bizzare in a game that threw away XI's gender-locked races, as well as game that doesn't have race-locked jobs/classes. I think I said it in FC chat, but I did mention that with Eureka's success and another in 5.0, SE would be ballsy enough to bring back more FFXI conventions like gender-locked races. Odd idea to make the game more FFXI now though. Edit: I didn't really want Viera anyway, so no male bunnies are at my monkey's paw I suppose.

Ither posted:For me, it's just that the lack of male Viera and the hyersexualization of the females ones (see the reveal video and the Dancer picture) gives this game a gloss of anime skeeviness that it didn't have before.  Like how do I explain well you see there's no male viera b/c devs thought it'd be "weird" but female bunnies are OK. I'm super disappointed and regret preordering ShB since bun boys were a huge factor of a new race. Like I'm used to F2P MMO's pulling the rug underneath me but I expected more of you FFXIV. 99% of MMO is cosmetics and it's understandable why players would not be happy for their options to be taken away.

Kaubocks posted:thank you for your valuable input, rational male gamer I mean, I get being pissed at genderlocking from a conceptual level because it is dumb as hell and how the new races are gender locked is lovely. SE being shittily regressive (which they are doing more and more of late) is worth being mad over. I don't get the people who are mad about no male viera specifically. All we've had to go off of how they look is like, 4 concept art drawings. A lot of people mad over no twink bunny bois when the concept art shown for them wasn't really all that twinkish to begin with.

I don't think that that's the case, that people are only mad because they can't play twinks or whatever? It's not like the 2016 art wasn't widely circulated; people knew what to expect when the concept of male Viera floated around.

I've seen about 4 of those takes in this thread and a few elsewhere, but I'm probably just being pedantic about people's phrasing when what they really wanted was a non-conforming male race regardless of being Viera or not.

It's possible, or it's possible that I'm missing a lot because I uh, decided that it would be a good idea to maybe avoid the forums after wading in long enough to post some 'yes I'd like gender unlocked races please' posts just to get my voice heard (and I avoid reddit if at all possible, so there's that too).

You know how people get really into planning out their glamours? Imagine that you spent six months idly considering how to dress your bunny boy before learning that they never actually planned to make any. That’s what they’re mad about.

As one of the best AST players ever to grace FF14 I gotta say as sad as I am about DNC being a DPS I'm also glad it is because I don't have to abandon AST as my healer AND I get a DPS that I might like as a former BRD main.

You think there will be any distinct differences between the two clans of the new races like humans, or will it be like the rest of the races where it's "this one has some different skin colors and a weird nose"?

This is even more nonsensical to me. How do you plan for glamours on something you haven't seen the model of? This just seems like a recipe to end up with some clipping monstrosity and disappointment.

For people that were planning on male viera: did you want buff bunnies or twink bunnies? Because I can't seem to find a consensus it seems like no matter what, people were setting themselves up to be upset.

I don't strongly care about the new races except that I think it's extremely dumb and lovely that we get Roe 2.0 and Catgirls With Bunny Ears and they're trying to excuse it as "we wanted to give more variety." If you'd give us big hulky cat ladies and dainty bunny boys maybe I could buy that but as it stands it's more of the frigging same.

Looking forward to yet another mobile ranged dps class who pubbie players will stand max distance from boss, well outside of AoE healing range, and somehow still fail at all movement based boss mechanics. Ranged physical dps already seem to attract some of the worst players, and now a lot of the ERP people surely will be maining one too. Time to wait for the 2021 fanfest for when they reveal the copy paste of WHM once again, slap a Geomancer label on it, give it "Geo/Indi" party buff and then call it a day.

I have zero interest in Viera and I'm cautiously interested in the Hrothgar, so there is at least one of us on the entire Internet. (I would have preferred lizard people though...)
