They have different teams working on different things all at the same time. As others have stated the character models were finished before launch even but Tanaka just refused to include them. There are more pressing matters currently yes but no one said they were going to put them in immediately. If I recall correctly, PS3 launch is the projected time frame for this. That's a long way off and after all the major changes.
I also remember the line that mentioned they had the models ready but didn't have time to implement them. It was a real bummer for me to hear.
People have wondered about female Galka and male Mithra (until WotG) for ages. There's even been fanart or art ideas floating around for the "what ifs?". If SE could have learned anything, it was that people have been asking about this since FFXI and FFXIV is as good of a place as any to bring this to life if they're following race ideas from FFXI.
If this game has been in the works for around some 5 years, it should have been plenty enough time to get those models worked enough to actually put into the game. And I don't recall anything in the lore that says female Roegadyns and male Miqo'te come about as rare as a Ganondorf.
They ended up looking nothing like what people kept trying to say they should look like "Short fat and ugly" in most cases. The fact that people refused to believe that SE could make the Female Galkas pleasing to the Eye just makes me Bawk. They have done some of the best "Beast Races" ever in their past games like the Ronso's from X.
They dont. And I'm really happy with how Female Roes turned on in Yoshida (Not Yoshi-P)'s artwork for the grand Companies. They look Regal, Stawart, and Strong. As well as beautiful Everything that the Elvaans lost when they became Elezen. (In my eyes.)
Hopefully they copy the FFTA races in the future.
I dunno about all that. I liked the Ivalice races but this is a distinctly different world. Also adding that many more races would be pretty ridiculous, not to mention lore destroying with 2 sets of Moogles. You'd have what, 6 new races? Some of which again are single gender, which creates the same problem.
I don't see that ever happening.
How would that possibly make sense though? Hey here's some races from a completely different universe, somehow magically now here. Enjoy. I want to see tall bunny girls as much as the next guy but I just couldn't ever see it making sense.
