    Open letter to Naoki Yoshida about the gender locks

    Let's keep it civil guys and gals.

    To Naoki Yoshida,

    With regards to the new races being gender locked I have some concerns. I will try to be as brief as possible. Firstly, regarding the decision to not implement male Viera. While I think "weird" is a bit of a stretch even for you, i'll bite for the sake of argument. So your definition and that of the dev teams is not the entirety of the player bases'. To me thinking you could make a development decision based on how something "felt" to you should have been a sign. I'm not saying you shouldn't have felt that way just that knowing the community wanted this for so long should've known better.

    Second, Hrothgar. Where do I even begin with this? To be fair I won't touch it. Won't look at it. Never wanted it. Does that mean I don't want it for those that would like it? Absolutely not. If there are those that would be happy with it by all means let them have at it. Personally I am of the opinion that you could have made male Viera along with the females. When 6.0 rolled around then you could have implemented Hrothgar. I don't quite get the logic of doing half of one and half of the other. From a realistic perspective it makes no sense.

    Third, don't lie man, it doesn't become you. Regardless of how much you use the lore wall or other means to defend this or any other tactic for that matter it just boils down to poor decision making. I'm not trying to belittle you here please understand. However do realize that you have a community of players that have been clamoring for a race to play as since 2.0 and you all but deny them. While I know there is no president for male Viera that doesn't mean don't try. You disappointed a lot of people man. Now while I get you can't please everyone something like this should have been a given. You follow me? This isn't run of the mill content.

    Final note, it may seem a bit harsh and I am sorry for that. Truth be told I was looking forward to male Viera. Not for some crazy reasons but for something fresh. I know a lot of what has been going around has been extremely negative with regards to this. Now while it should never have gotten that bad I can understand why people are upset. Regardless of their reasons for wanting it people still desired male Viera and are not getting it. Honestly you should have seen this coming and if you did and still did this knowing it would happen I don't know what to say.

    Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.

    You can delete this. The reason behind the genderlock has been explained, nothing to do with the lore.

    His reasonings are posted all over the forum and now in two different interviews. Maybe it wasn't your intention, I doubt it but maybe, but your tone is downright rude. Please read his reasonings before writing any more open letters in the future, even if you aren't happy with the responses at least it'll give you more of an idea of what happened.

    Yawn. Research the other threads before posting next time pretty please.
    Also, these are all opinions that COULD be posted in other threads. No need to make your own to say the same thing said 100x over.

    Hrothgar was planned since they wanted to add a more beast like race, Viera was added because people were going on and on about it. Look into the Mr. Happy interview or into some of the other threads.

    It'll be okay. Dwarfism is curable by fantasia.
