Gender locked race?

[Shougun]

Just wanted to push this into the thread so we can have a more detailed bit of the twitter message:

Q12: Fans are very excited that Viera is a new race but I think that fans are hoping that we'll also get the male Viera as a playable character. Can you comment on that? Or even if they're going to be NPCs if not, or if we have to wait until Tokyo Fan Fest?


A12: That's true we do still have the Tokyo Fan Fest ahead of us. zips mouth

Edit: I know people were referencing it ChaseNetwork, but people were linking to an incomplete quote on Twitter. So I was just trying to get the full quote in here.
