Wow just wow. First you complain that its homophobic and now its sexist. I think you should learn to understand that not everyone and everything in this world goes the way you want and that this isn't homophobic or sexist just because you said so.

After reading his comments full of hate and resentment, I can't help it but to think he needs to take a break. He's just throwing buzzwords without even knowing the full thing.

Another likely cause is that viera were created by Matsuno, used by him for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Final Fantasy XII, and the rest of the subsequent Ivalice Alliance games, before he wrote one into his Final Fantasy XIV scenario. Players have been clamoring to play viera and Matsuno allows it under the caveat that they don't use male viera since that's his artistic decision. SE goes ahead and implements them, along with male only beast-race to balance it out since players had also asked for that when we were polled back in the day.

And this is a completely legit and valid reason.
