Gender locked race?

[Tempest222]

This is my first XIV expansion release, so I can’t say I know how things generally go with this game, but from my time elsewhere I would say the prospect of male viera isn’t looking good. This type of behavior from a developer generally doesn’t bode well imo, and player concerns are often born out, despite some players insisting we should just wait and see and give the benefit of the doubt. I would love to hold out hope and believe that they’ve just decided not to reveal the male yet for whatever reason, but since I’ve seen things like this happen many times with before, the cynic in me says they didn’t reveal it because it doesn’t exist, and it’ll just be damage control from here on out. Hope I’m wrong.
