What is the benefit

Lore is the reason? What is so hard to understand about that?

We have fat chocobos flying for cake and we can dress up in pig suits. Lore went out the window a long time ago.

Tigerbois are pretty cool, though. Insert skooma joke.

Pig suits aren't exactly lore breaking.
And are you saying you wouldn't fly for a nice piece of cake?

People won't always get what they want. But many people have been asking for a bestial race for a long time now. Ever since the initial 1.0 player poll back in the day.
And now we finally get it. SE listened to the players, just not the loud ones today.

I was more or less giving examples of some ridiculous things seen in game. If the cake was good enough though I would definitely find a way.

Well ronso/hrothgar are from FFX and in that game the genders were not segregated or hidden in any manner so...basically SE changed the gender based lore for them but did not for viera. Which means lore is a weak argument for genderlocking.

I hardly post on the forums at all. But there is NEVER a benefit to doing it at all. It's absurd, and it's one of the reasons why I hate fucking eastern mmo's. I'm on the fence about resubbing atm.

Don't get me wrong, I think ronso/hrothgar look cool. But we have a cat race already. And as a female cat race player I am so disappointed I can't be a big female cat. I'm stuck in the trope of being a petite female if I want to have bestial features.

Well blame everyone who didn't play a femroe. SE looked at the data and the data said "pretty much every female wants to be cute".

It would have been more work to do 2 genders for each I'm guessing. It was probably either Hrothgar or male Viera (which I'm sure more people actually wanted) so they decided to gamble and add 2 races instead of just one. It also throws a bone to the people who wanted a more bestial race to play as. It was a risky move that may or may not pay off. Time will tell.

They didn't give us two races. They gave us two halves of two races.
1 finished product > 2 unfinished products.
I'd rather have one working bike than two halves of two separate cars.

And they didn't throw a bone to the people who wanted more bestial races. They threw a bone to people who exclusively play male characters who also want a bestial race.
I want a bestial race, but I only play female characters. I get nothing.

That's fair. You have a good point.
