#genderlock

so, there's been a disappointing announcement that the FF14 Viera will be a genderlocked race, so no bunny boys. Who knows - maybe a little way down the road they'll be implemented, but I won't hold my breath.

You’re being nitpicky. Explore it first when it comes out, then criticize.

And this has been going on with so many more games and movies over the past few years. We keep getting a lot of information about upcoming titles, including trailers that give away most of the content most of the time and press releases that get spread like wildfire on every platform. Promotion wise it keeps the hype going. And yes, any publicity is good publicity. But it’s sickening how there’s more negative nitpicking these days than praise.

I like parts of the Final Fantasy series. I love Star Wars. I played the heck out of Mass Effect. And these three examples have all been under attack in the past two years. They make something for us and before it is even released, we burn it to the ground. Where I do understand the case with ME: Andromeda, I did wait until they were done patching most of it before I bought the game and I really enjoyed it. Any news surrounding Star Wars I try to avoid at any cost until I have seen the movie with my own eyes. That way I saw Solo: A Star Wars Story with a somewhat clear mind so I could draw my own conclusion: The movie was alright, CG pretty good, story wasn’t very Han Solo-ey though as it felt very muted. And with Final Fantasy XIV I’m just gonna wait until next year to get into it again, because I do want to see where the story is going.
