Gender locked race?

[CorbinDallas]

No male Viera because of "lore", but FFX lore has female Ronso.

That's FF10, we're playing 14. We know literally nothing about the race other than what it looks like.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, we do know that they're called Ronso in the first shard. There's no real excuse for them being male only when we know that "Ronso" have females.

FF10 Ronso have females, yes. But I repeat, this is FF14, and we know absolutely nothing about our "Ronso".

Could be that, not like it's ever stopped them from genderlocking a race because of stupid reasons either - like how female highlanders are supposed to stay at home.

That's asinine and you know it, for that point there was no reason to make Viera female only either.

No, what's asinine is the fact you people assume that similarity/reference = exact copy.

Okay then, why did the Viera have to use their "existing lore" as an excuse for their female only status then?

Because they added Fran to their lore I guess.

Because if you talk to the Wandering Dramaturge on the Prima Vista in Kugane, you can read Viera lore. It's already in the game beyond just Fran showing up.
