Final Fantasy XIV’s Newest Races Are Gender-Locked, And Players Are Not Happy

When a new rabbit-eared race called Viera was revealed for Final Fantasy XIV’s upcoming Shadowbringers expansion during last month’s Paris Fanfest, only female versions were shown, but players were hopeful that the male version of the Viera would be announced at the Tokyo Fanfest this past weekend. Instead, Square Enix added a whole new race,…

Quixel is a company that sells textures and other assets (similar to the way games like Battlefront are able to achieve almost photo-realistic visuals).

If I Can Get Everything, Choices Don’t Matter
