Gender locked race?

gunna stop you there Shippuu you shouldn't use garuda in that because

Yeah, that's fair, my bad. I couldn't recall how Garuda looked in the older ones. I just remember it from XI mostly, which XIV followed a similar design (and now XV too).

Still, Shiva, Sophia, Lakshmi etc. are all clearly throwbacks to their past designs, with XIV's actually taking some liberties like making Lakshmi have a lower snake body (even if we can't really see it). So if anything, XIV has made some of them a bit less feminine/waifu.

Yea dw lotta games i never played ff11 but when i saw garuda in ff14 i had to look back to see where the female type came from as only saw monster garuda prior XD Lakshmi is a weird one the only other instance of Lakshmi is ff6 The goddess of the painting that the demon Chardanok took over we have that in Sigmascape so ff14 Lakshmi is actually unique in ff series hence why her full name is Sri Lakshmi but despite saying she has a snake tail we never see it a design change that Yoshi wanted it does make you wonder how much has been changed due to his opinion suddenly little more scared for male viera reveal :S
