Gender locked race?

Male Viera needs to be added. The Hrothgar are just as dumb looking as I expected them to be. They literally just slapped some fur and a lion head on a Roegadyn body and called it Hrothgar. It's one of the laziest characters designs I've seen in this game yet. Male Viera would have actually added something interesting and different to the game. :/

Am so sorry for you guys didn't have the male viera : / however this is time to join and fan art should be the best way to protest!

Hrothgar was a pleasant surprise imo most of you do not know but during the 1985-89 there was a very successful animation series called "Thundercats" those who saw the animations would easily become a fan.

So Hrothgar in a way reminds me of those series.

Wow I expected the worst and it was somehow even worse then imagined.

Same. I'm surprised that they actually even managed to make me gag.

But for those of you who wanted to play hunchback Roes with snouts, who look to have the IQ of a Neanderthal, congrats! \o/ You got it!

I don't want to give these narrow minded, backwards thinking cowards more of my money.*ptooey*
So ESO is the game I'm going to try now, and I pray with all my might that I'll like it because there are precious few MMORPGs that are PVE focused like this.

I thought Hrothgar would have more human facial features if the leak were true, so I was really surprise that they went with what they did.

I don't hate it, but I am on the fence. I like their body proportions, but I am curious about how emotive their faces will be. They don't seem too have too much facial movements in the preview, so hopefully they're working on that.

Okay, let's be fair, the Male Viera design could easily have been just as lazy. That doesn't change the fact it was highly requested though, and that no one was looking forward to a genderlock.

Welp, can't wait until they reverse this short-sighted decision in 6.0.

This could actually happen, as RoroCookies said, Ronso also had females...The lore is something easy to play with apparently in FF14 lol.

[Lacan]

the faces look like masks. :x that bothers me.

Really disappointed in this decision. Gender locking was said to be a thing of the past, and basing it off "We haven't seen male viera before" Well that's basically the same reason as Male Miqo'te. But they're a playable gender.

Both races have both males and females. So why are they making them monogendered. This is just such a disappointment especially as people have been clambering for Viera for ages (2.0 at least!). And Ronso is only a recent idea comparatively.

Sure, we have a lot of customization for them 'apparently' But honestly that seems like a poor excuse when you think about it. They could have given the same amount of customization across two genders instead of a single gender with twice the amount.

I'm more upset with the fact that the developers went back on their word about no longer gender locking races after 1.0. It seems like a common theme these days for people to get their hopes up about something exciting and then the company giving them the bare minimum and leaving what was wanted out.

If certainly people wanted to play a male viera? they sure won't make a ronzo. They'll stay as their current race. If they wanted to play a female ronzo? They might go to viera, but honestly on the whole Ronzo just... doesn't work lore wise.

Not even joking. It goes against the lore to have Ronzo. They're openly a beast tribe. you can't even suggest otherwise. Beast tribes canonically can't be understood by people without the echo unless they specifically focus on learning the language, along with them being excempt from Hydalyns blessing. So what's next. Do we get to have Goblin WoL's? Oh maybe Amal'jah. After all, we already got Lalafell and they've just been confirmed to be subhuman if things shifted ever so slightly.

Genuinely surprised.
Sorry to all the bunny boys

Yes because male elezen with bunny ears stuck to it would be so original right?
