Gender locked race?

[decoratibo]

I'm legitimately curious about this - who actually asked for or wanted the Hrothgar?

I didn't ask for them but I do want them now

Quite a lot of people have requested a playable race along the lines of the Ronso over the years. It just so happens that whenever they were brought up the same sort of scathing commentary and rage you see in response to the gender lock was thrown their way. I would have preferred them to be a bit closer to Byakko in terms of design, though I'm very happy for those who I know wanted a 'bestial' playable race. Which isn't a small number at all.

I must have missed this then, but I can understand why people would want a bestial race. However, they've effectively dumped around half of that population by gender-locking it to men only. I can also imagine they lost another chunk of that population just by virtue of how ugly they are...I'm getting more Cats the Musical as played by Roegadyn vibes rather than actual bestial qualities lol. I feel like not very many people saw the reveal and went "Oh, finally!!!! This is exactly what I wanted!" but that's just me.
