Gender locked race?

There is still people now who are confused to why Fran doesn't have a tail. I also saw a lot of comments about how small her boobs were. It's really depressing that Viera are being shoved into this "fetish fuel" box when they were a genuinely awesome race of people.

Fran and the other viera that were showcased at the fanfest basically wear lingerie. It's not surprising that many are treating them like fan service at best, rather than a race in their own right. The lack of male presence from their race so far doesn't help either.

I honestly find that skimpy outfit off-putting. I don't mind having skimpy outfits in the game but SE showed us five viera altogether and they all look like they're from a brothel. At least one in moderately normal adventurer gear would have been nice.

They were treating them like fetish fuel long, long before the teaser trailer. My point was that a bunch of people asking for Viera never looked a Viera apparently as 80% of them thought that Viera were female only, had tails, and were busty when that was never the case.

I really want them to be implemented just as they were in FFXII (beautiful women who were still stoic, intelligent warriors), but for some reason they showcased the race running in flower fields and giggling like maidens. As Theodric said, I hope that they get more mature and calm animations and aren't waifu'd just because the dev team has a thing for tiny anime girls. I also wanted them to go all out and give them the long arms and necks just to make people ree into the sun, but that's just me and my Elezen talking.

I’m still disappointed that they didn’t give them their own unique starting gear and just slapped Fran’s armor on there. I love Fran but it’s kinda lame and feels lazy.

I've said before that Fran is one of my two favorite Final Fantasy characters and I still think it's silly that all Viera wear her clothes. If anything, the racial gear should have been Wood Warden armour.
