Gender locked race?

[xbahax92]

I'm up for bestial anything, but I have a problem with a lion-esque race. Lions are felines, different genus, but still cats. You know what's also a feline race? Miqo'te.

You forget something here though. Viera are created by someone else, as someone pointed it out in this thread. I do not think that Yoshida can ignore how Matsuno-san envisions male Viera. Im pretty sure YoshiP asked him how he thinks about them, and lets be honest, there is no reason to restrict it just because there is another feline race.
Im pretty sure many players here want them to be something taller than Male Miqote but not to tall, many dont like large races just as Roe, Elezen, Highlander and Male Au Ra. At least, thats what I think and experienced so far inside the game. Bishie look, this ones popular.

I sure do. Link

Q38: In terms of new races, what kind of races are you looking into and will mixed races be introduced?

A38: I don’t think we’ll have mixed races for a while. Since it seems like Viera is popular around the world we have been proactively looking into this, but since having a rabbit male might be kind of weird, maybe we’ll look into having a separate race for the male counterpart.

There is a chance this changed though. I mean, he took the creator of Tactics and FF12 into the team. And if Matsuno-san is really the creator of Viera, then he also has the opportunity to create the Male Viera.
