@antler.crown First off, don’t speak for *all* fans by saying a generalised “fans asked..”.
The simple fact is that the bitter, vitriolic outrage is *extremely childish*. Making self-appointed expectations is your first mistake.
It is SUCH a petty, ridiculous thing to be so abusive and vitriolic towards the devs about it (you’re trying to tell ME to respect the devs, when it’s YOU people who have been abusing them! 😂👌)
It’s got absolutely nothing to do with “fans asked for Viera”. The Return to Ivalice was an intentional collaborative series with the XII (and Tactics, technically) dev team in which Eorzea and Ivalice were dimensionally linked.
Don’t pretend to claim responsibility for a collab you had nothing to do with the development process of.
And no, I’m not going to blindly “support” and agree with the obsessively delusional vocal minority whining about not having a different Viera that didn’t even exist in its source material (Ivalice), just like I’m not going to blindly accept the nasty, vile, toxic behaviour of the endgame elitist community of FFXIV (exactly as I didn’t for the XI version of it), especially when people are so toxic that they abuse players in raids for not having specific gear or stats, because they’re basing everything on using illegal parser programs, and not just shutting up and enjoying a video game. If you don’t like it, unsubscribe. Simple as that. Nobody will miss you~! Life in Eorzea will carry on without it.

Here’s another suggestion (again), think of it like this. We’ve *literally never seen male Viera*. They live in seclusion, they are NEVER seen in FFXII (OR Tactics, any Ivalice universe game!), Fran (or one of the other female Viera NPCs in XII) legit mentions about it IN FFXII!
The Viera, publicly, are a female race. TERA doesn’t exactly have all races with binary genders either. This is nothing new.
The Battlestar Galactica reboot, *the Cylons were female*.
Look at it like this, the Viera are a beast-like bunny female race, the Hrothgar are ALSO a beast-like race, only they look more like leopards. Who’s to say they *aren’t* a breed of “Viera”? They’re *specifically not human*, they’re HUMANOID BEASTS.
Finally, there’s a race in FFXIV that *isn’t just a form of human with cat features or dragon features or elf ears*! It’s an *actual beast race*. But no. “It *is* 2019”, after all.
The era of complaining about absolutely anything for literally any reason. Get over it.
It’s a video game. It’s not all just about raids and dungeons (I should note I dislike all the “omg no new healer wtf???” nonsense as well), there are OTHER THINGS TO DO IN EORZEA.

@_mattandre_ You are going out of your way to target people who have every right to be disappointed over a game, that they pay money for, that is currently not living up to their expectations, which are built very reasonably upon past events. You are the one “whining” AT THEM because you can’t seem to be able to comprehend that other people have differing opinions than yours. Please stop. Be supportive of both your fellow players and the game dev team, thanks, and stop trying to shoot others down with lore bullets. If we’re going into lore, viera are from Ivalice, and shouldn’t even exist on Hydaelyn in the first place, yet here they are, because fans asked for them. Fans asked for male and female, yet only female were given to them, and they can be unhappy about it and say so without you jumping all over them with this holier-than-thou tone. Thanks.

@ilona.ix The Viera aren’t from Eorzea. They’re from Ivalice. Male Viera *do* exist, but they’re literally NEVER seen in XII. They’re reclusive, and they’re sure as hell not going to come out of hiding to go *to an entire other world*. They’re happy in Ivalice. Several of the females of the Viera end up going on the hunt out of the wood, they’re explorers. The males ARE NOT.
Padjals aren’t even a playable race so that’s not a valid argument. They also *taught* the magic, that’s literally part of the quest line for Conjurer with the siblings. The Au Ra are a rare sight outside of the HW areas, *but they were opened up*, previously the gates were locked up, that’s literally part of the ARR main scenario story.

Hey, uh, critiquing the game dev’s choices is not “whining” or “bitching” or “wallowing in negativity.” It’s exactly what it sounds like: critiquing. Seeing folks go out of their way to attack, condemn, and shut down anyone’s disappointment over this is really disheartening. Let people be upset. They have every right to be. This is a game that they are paying monthly for that has listened quite a lot to its fans in the past. They broke the genderlock on miqote and roegadyn. They said that genderlocking would be a thing of the past. They broke their promise and are still trying to sell their product; consumers are completely justified in voicing discontent over it.

OH! I forgot the *most* important part.
GENDER IS NON-BINARY.
Why are people whining and complaining about “male and female” anything when gender is not binary. Never heard of They/Them? Many humans *do not identify* as male OR female. So really, in your self-righteous quest to be “super woke in 2019”, you’re actually in fact being incredibly insensitive limiting it to strictly male/female.
The Viera identify as female.
The Hrothgar identify as male.
Deal with it. Don’t like it? Unsubscribe.
I’m officially done with this topic.
