Gender locked race?

Please link me a timestamp where they say "Hrothgar are literally an exact copy of the Ronso from Final Fantasy X". From what I saw, they share nothing except the name, and that is only in another dimension.

Ok, so the Hrothgar go by a different name in an alternate universe like every other race? They don't officially mention FF10s Ronso at all.

You're all missing my point completely. Nowhere at all did they say "we have introduced the Ronso from FF10", this means the "wah no females" is completely irrelevant, because 14s Hrothgar are not Ronso. Lore wise, we know absolutely nothing about them other than the fact they look like Ronso and happen to share the name in an alternate shard. For all we know, female Hrothgar just don't exist in the world of 14.

Of course they would allow you to make Khimari/Fran lookalikes, this is fanservice fantasy after all. To expect anything different wpuld be idiotic.

With that logic, Hyurans are actually Humes from Vanadiel, because they're totally being called that in The First!

Sarcasm aside, they were just showing that you can recreate characters from other FF games, doesn't make them officially Ronso (because they're Hrothgar). Besides, Fran was already in the game, unless you completely missed her in the Ivalice raids (and technically, she isn't even the same Fran as the FFXII one, despite having the exact same looks).

Therefore the Viera lore shouldn't have bound the Viera to be genderlocked either.

Honestly some of the male Viera fanart -pics posted here made me wish for this situation alone* (female only).

Tho, Hrothgar does look like quickly modified Roegadyn, which is shame.

*And no, I haven't reported anybody, btw.

That is what you call an easter egg, an homage. Not "This is them, they are Ronso!", that's also why they choose to call them Hrothgar in our shard because they are not the Ronso we know as opposed to the Viera.
