To be fair, the original races were based on FFXI's 5 races. They wanted the original FFXIV races to feel like FFXI, to help those players make an easier transition. Something safe. Something comfortable.

That said, I'm on the "Trollioshida" team for now. Probably not finished in development yet.

But in all seriousness... Would it be so awful to play a female character? Why does it have to be male? Does it have to be male to be good, fun, strong, aesthetically appealing? Your goal is equality, I'm sure, but there's a hypocritical base to your argument.
