Gender locked race?

[Lauront]

Well. now we're getting close to 400!

I think at this point the most constructive approach would be to request that the devs add the other gender for each new race. Although I am annoyed about the gender lock, and the design of male Hrothgar, if just one of the two was the issue, I'd be less disappointed.

Anyone got a poll up on sentiments on the gender lock yet btw?

Male viera are just elezen with rabbit ears.

Lalafell are just like hyur kids. Oh wait.

Lalafell are just dwarves without helmet and beard.

Blizzard had better prepare for a a yuge influx of FFugees because there's isn't a male rabbit in the game. What a sorry freaking state of affairs, it's just sad how the community sees this game as a means of taking pretty screenshots and indulging in sexual fantasies.
Imagine playing a game just so you can walk around as a male rabbit. instead of criticizing the game for repetitive content, lack of content, dead overworld zones, etc., people are crying because muh male rabbit? Y'all kinda make me sick.

Ironically, this was the part of the keynote I liked the most. I cant wait to see how the dwarves react to the likes of Tataru, Krile, Wedge, Pupin, Nanamo, and any other important npcs. And what if we play a lalafell, squee...

They're not mutually exclusive activities. Nonetheless, Viera females are pandering, and the Hrothgar have been implemented in a way very few of those of us favourably predisposed to them had wanted. So what's your point?

If you read the other threads before JP fanfest you would know that people do that. (Bluemage, Eureka+open world+different relic) People just talk about male viera right now because the events are fresh. So no idea what you want to point out.

how is it wanting a male for an already existing female race "indulging in sexual fantasies"?

I am very happy to see Hrothgar made it in game. It is the very first playable beast-like race, a race that's new and unique. I am already considering a fantasia depending on how many feminine glamour items I have in regular use and if I am willing to give them up, and what the animations are going to be like. My excitement for male Viera was very low in comparison so between those two options I am pleased with what we got.

That said, is it really that difficult to add two full races at the same time? Considering how many people always look forward to new races it doesn't seem worth it to cut corners in this matter. There are much more pointless things added to the game in every expansion. Could've left out BLU, for example.

The salt flowing from this situation will sustain me for months. Good job Squeenix. This is absolutely hilarious. XD
