Gender locked race?

[Theodric]

For the two clans, unlikely, but very cool if the Ronso race had a Byakko like body option (given the sliders and such- they did talk about how much advanced customization these two races will have).

Yeah, I'm going to reserve my full judgement for when we get to play around with customisation options and see how they look in-game in cutscenes and such. At the end of the day, if I don't like them there are multiple playable races that I do like the look and feel of.

I hope they add a future patch to fix this, gender lock it's always been a really bad idea. I want delicate boys and strong women, I want to choose what to be. I'm a girl that plays as a handsome miqo'te. Let me choose!!! D:

You're not starved for those aesthetics. You can already customise characters to look exactly that way if you wish.

Personally I'm glad that we're getting something genuinely unique in the form of a proper 'bestial' race.
