Thinking about it... Has Square been prepping for April Fool's?

[Skivvy]

My take on the items:

- No new healer - This is a bit odd to me, but Ranged DPS also only has 2 jobs ATM as well.

- The long-anticipated Dancer's a DPS despite historically doing (de-)buffs more than damage - My only experience with DNC is from XI. In XI, it can toss out some buffs, true, but it can hold its own as a DD as well. I'm totally OK with this one myself.

- Gender-locked roles - - I'm personally mixed on this one. I didn't think SE would go the gender-lock route, especially after they brought in female highlanders, male miqo'te, and female roegadyn. I do feel for the people who were looking forward to playing that male viera and I get the disappointment. On the flip side, I sort of like some gender locked races (again, like in XI). It does make them stand out more, brings a bit of uniqueness to the race itself. I have played games where I couldn't pick the gender I wanted, and that bummed me out a bit, but I ended up with something else that I ended up loving so all was well.

- Missed a chance to show off the vicious, stealthy male Viera - I liked this version presented(sorry I don't know how to insert links properly) https://i.imgur.com/ECtaVNx.jpg. I think the male would have been just fine. SE alone knows the real reason why they weren't implemented. People need to stop with all the insane accusations.

- Hrothgar looks low-quality, like it's unfinished art - I actually like em :X
