Gender locked race?

[JamiaHaab]

All the genderlocked games I can think of are whale pandering that get most of their money from selling outfits on the cash shop (cant support a sub) to dress up female characters and don't give male characters even half of the customization options. Or you play preset hero characters and customization doesn't matter as much.

I just don't want FFXIV to get the same kind of criticisms as those flash in the pan kmmos.
