However, in Endwalker, players are finally not only allowed to play as male Viera, they are also allowed to dress their new bunnyboys up in clothing designed for anyFinal Fantasy 14gender.
New Viera in Final Fantasy 14
Thankfully, Endwalker is starting to change the gender-exclusive races. In update 6.0, players will be able to makemale Viera(the bunny-like race) for the first time since the race’s introduction to the series. Ever since Viera were first seen in 2003 inFinal Fantasy Tactics Advanced, only female bunny people have been seen in anyFFgame. The Endwalker update also expanded the types of hairstyles available to the female Viera as well, making players more able to create the exact look for their character that they want. This coupled with the new glamour rules, new options and looks will be available for everyone.
Also to be added later on in Endwalker’s cycle will be the ability to play as female Hrothgar. These cat-like people are based on the Ronso fromFinal Fantasy 10; they come in both warm-colored fur from the Helion clan and the cool-colored furred Lost.
Changing a Character in FF14
Players can either choose to make a brand new character in order to change their gender or look, or they can take advantage of the fantasia system that allows players to update their race, gender, and look. Players get one fantasia free for completing theA Realm Rebornstory quest chain, and they can also purchase them in theFinal Fantasy 14store for $10 USD for 1, $28 USD for 3, and $45 USD for 5. Fantasias are a consumable potion item that players can use at any time, which means they can use it for changing to a male Viera or wait around until the female Hrothgar are finally available.
Final Fantasy 14 Endwalkeris available now for PC, PS4, and PS5.
