Gender locked race?

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Lore isn't a valid excuse. Male miqo'te and all duskwright elezen are elusive/rare and we can still freely play them.

The Viera have existed for a while now and have lore tied to them. As much as people hate seeing/reading that word, Im sorry but its always gonna come up. And comparing a Newer race in XIV to an Old Ivalice Race that existed way before isn't an Argument.

Then by that logic we should have female Hrothgar. There were female Ronso present in both X and X-2. But we don't.

I imagine that they decided to add Viera first, but knowing they wouldn't add male viera, they decided they needed another race for males. As for why not female viera plus male and female hrothgar, I imagine it's just a workload thing.

Yep I know this. Its just that if that individual wanted to use that train of thought, then this is the result we should have gotten. Although I'm disheartened by this step backwards I still have plenty of things to look forward to in 5.0

I'm just trying to clean up some of the scraps in the riot and what not.

Let's not forget that the XIV Ivalice has:

• Changed certain character's motivations and personalities
• Changed the story of certain characters
• Changed character genders and relations (Ba'gamnan's sister being turned into a male, Rasler and Ashe being siblings)
• Completely changed the order of the timeline
• Changed the geography of Ivalice and locations of certain areas.

But yeah male bunnies would completely ruin the Ivalice lore.

Miqo'te have been around since FFXI, long before FF12. Their lore was exactly the same: men are ultra rare spawns and have to stay home to take care of the kids.
Roegadyn (Galka) were originally asexual. when they got old, they went back to the ancestral lands and their bodies molted into egg-like chrysalis. They would then be reborn as young children with all the knowledge of their past lives.

All of that was changed in FF14 2.0. Lore is no excuse.
