Gender locked race?

[KittenMittens]

Lore as an excuse is nothing short of a flimsy excuse when the WoL is an outlier in so many ways beyond this. If the developers really want to throw that as the reason we cannot have these genders, then why can we play Keepers of the Moon Miqo'te, Duskwight Elezen, and even Raen Au Ra? Why are there multiple jobs that are written in the lore stating as there only being one such as Dragoon, White Mage, and Scholar? The developer is only lying to us and using lore as the excuse when they have been known to bend and allow for things such as this time and again.

yea, the lore excuse is real BS. The lore reason we couldn't play as male mithra in 11 is pretty much exactly the same as the lore behind miqote in XIV. Yet Yoshi wasn't bothered by that and still made male miqote playable. It is weird for Yoshi to suddenly be so concerned with what is logical based on the lore when it never stopped him before. Smells like lies to me. :v

From a 2013 interview:


It's his preference. Maybe if you campaign hard enough and get him fired, you'll get your bishounen rabbits.

Don't want him fired, that's just silly. I do think getting him to see that his preferences aren't the same as the playerbase's preferences is possible though.

Playerbase's preference? speak for youself, I can account for many players that are happy with the new races

You can be happy with hrothgar and still want male viera you know. It isn't this black or white, us vs them thing. I don't know why we're treating it like it is.

I've seen plenty of people here campaigning to have him fired since the news broke. People are losing their damn minds over it.
