Gender locked race?

Oh, that guy. Yeah, the guy who posted their workplace is more than likely false and parroting. Crystal tower was an obvious bet since we knew we were in M.D and the tower is a way to travel from shard to shard. Wasn't that leaker the only one who was claiming the lock? The other two never mentioned a gender locked - which I figure would be one heck of a thing to let loose. But yeah, I only recall one of them talking about the lock. Either way I'm going to steel myself as I'm honestly curious on how they're going to go about this is the male Viera isn't added in. Curious about that argument.

I'm all too ready to be grumpy about lack of male Viera and pray that Hrothgar looks semi-decent, otherwise I'm sticking to mid hyur - unless highlander gets eyebrows.

I agree about that leaker that mentioned the gender lock, much of what they said was simply "confirming" previously leaked information. The only actual evidence that points to a possible gender lock is based on a previous quote years ago from Yoshi-P. If you take the other two leaks at face value along with the bug in-game that lead to Hrothgar(along with Viera) being mentioned in the first place with both gender identifiers it isn't unreasonable to hope we could be getting two races of both genders.

A lot of this assuming a gender lock is from thinking there's no way devs had the time or manpower to commit to adding two full races and their suggested dislike of "cute" male viera but I like to lean toward optimism so I wouldn't say all hope is lost.

I'm eagerly awaiting fanfest along with what reveals we'll see and I'm hoping they wouldn't do anything that would dampen the hype of a good portion of the player base going into shadowbringers by introducing gender locked races of all things.
