Gender locked race?

[Gwenorai]

I actually went back and checked the leakers' comments; pretty much all of them. If I missed a few, please feel free to show me - I spent way too much time in Pastebin and GameFaqs reading his comments and it's a possibility I missed - anyway; I didn't once see him mention there was a gender lock. Yes, this was me reading the comments and again, people are free to correct me. All I saw was that the guy mentioned Viera was the new race multiple of times - I saw nothing about a gender lock. The comment regarding Ronso was just speculation that he debunked by saying 'close' - so it's not Ronso at all if this guy is to be believed. If someone says 'close' they mean there's a similarity but it's not it. If I'm thinking of an animal and it's a 'Horse' and you're guessing the animal and say it's a 'Donkey' - and I go 'Close', you don't jump the gun and say 'Oh, it's a Donkey!' my statement of 'Close' literally means, no but you're on the right track.

A few months after he returned and said yet again it was Viera - still no mention of a gender lock - he mentioned there was a new race; he didn't mention it was playable. But let's assume that it is playable and it's the lion that is 'close to Ronso' but isn't. If it's not Ronso then it's either, a completely new race or a Rev - OR the guy has mistaken a Male Viera that looked like a lion in regards to the whole 'Lionhead' rabbit. Which is certainly possible that he didn't even see images and it was just text. This guy has been rumoured to be part of the local translation team - someone who puts text into the game. He could have easily been going off of descriptions and not images.


If he was just going off text and all that; all he could have done is literally seen that Fran was in the new 24man - and a logical guess would jump to the fact that Viera would be added in as a new Race.

He never said playable race, he just said 'New Race' and when questioned about the other race he didn't want to spoil the story. This guy already just spoilt a huge portion of the story/savage content/events - I don't understand how all of a sudden speaking about the 'lion' is too far.

Again, I would appreciate it if someone could correct me with quotes etc if this is incorrect!
