Please don let us be stuck with gender locked races. I support this post for both male Viera and female Hrothgar!![]()

Stopping in to voice my support.
Half of a race makes the game feel incomplete. Making the large, muscular body type male-exclusive while the thin, lithe body type is female-exclusive feels regressive.
I recently started playing FFXIV after dropping it for a long time because ARR was rough to get through.
I picked it back up and started playing it with my group of friends. We made it to Heavensward and we were all having a blast! The game is really really fantastic and the story was just starting to pick up when I caught the livestream.
Genderlocking race's is just such an incredible disappointment. Especially with this game's track record of making these mistakes only to fix them later.
I understand (or at the very least hope) that this decision was most likely not made out of malice. That this is a lot more complicated and messy than it is at first glance. But it's still a bad look and leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I was angry at first and now I'm just extremely disappointed and disheartened. FFXIV is the best MMO out there currently in a time where MMOs are a dying race. I don't want to stop supporting the game but I also cannot support a game that thinks genderlocking races is okay. It breaks my heart because I was deeply enjoying the game and enjoying playing it with my friends.
I hope that this is just a misstep and I can return to the game that I was enjoying.
Please make Female Hrothgar playable! We were promised no more gender-locking. We know that this can't be fixed immediately but please try for 6.0!
Here to support Hrothgar gals and Viera boys!
Please add female Hrothgar to the game. I have four friends who are canceling their subs and/or their Shadowbringers preorders because of the gender locks and as a long-time player who has worked hard to get their friends into this game, that's a huge bummer! Let players be any kind of Warrior of Light they want.
genderlocked classes simply do not make sense, why deny some of the playerbase choice?
i support male viera and I 100% support female Hrothgar
The way it makes it more unique is because with them be only Male or only female there will be less of said race. Especially with all the people on these forums wanting the opposite gender then the ones they are releasing. Just think about how many people want to be a bunny boy. If they keep no bunny boy in ffxiv the people wanting the bunny boy won't be a bunny because they can't be a Male one. Hence less of bunnies equals bunnies be unique.
I heavily support and wish for female Hrothgar. I love playing a female Roegadyn but only because they are the closest thing we have to a beast race. I'm not interested in playing a Male character and I'm sad that Hrothgar are Male only. However, I'll respect whatever the end result may be.
