Gender locked race?

[Sunwins]

I sincerely hope they don't gender-lock Viera. They have so much creative freedom to fill in the blank that exists when it comes to the males (since they've never existed in a game before), I don't understand why they wouldn't seize it. I just find it so strange that they haven't said a word on whether the men will even exist at all. I will be sincerely disappointed if they don't allow us to make males.

It just seems like such a silly idea to genderlock an entire race.

They have the freedom after all i say since FFXIV is its own game in the franchise, i mean if you look at FFXI they als had "Miqote", "Rogadyn" which were gender locked, tooked those and made there own in this game, why not make the same with Viera, its another Universe simply, homages and inspiratiosn to the franchise as a whole are ok but give me something new Square, i would had even prefered Bangana as playable race but asian market and there "cute characters", the Viera as shown now in 14 are also less beastly as there originals, same base model as always sadly with just ears anda tail added again basically, the feet are the only example so far.

Well, when they made this game (1.0) there were no catbois, femroes, or female Highlanders. That was one of the first things they decided to fix when they blew up 1.0. Gender locking Vieria would be a step back.

I'm not changing, maybe an alt. It's not going to affect me one way or the other. But I can see how others would be upset. And I would see it as a step backwards.
