It's a question of priorities and not resources. We need to keep the demand tempo for both genders high enough so that Square realizes this is a top priority and not an afterthought or a flex goal.
Of course we will probably have more expansions and with this feedback there is a much higher chance to get the two missing genders in the next one. But at least for me, the one expansion after shadowbringers is over two years away. Thats two years where I (who wants to play a female beast race) will see the male version running around while knowing that I cant play the female version of it. And it really dampers my motivation to keep up the sub. And its not helping that we now know that the Viera was the afterthought and not the Ronsos. Thus the dream of a female beast character could have finally become true, only to be destroyed by a sexy bunny girl. (Not that I blame the players that wanted those)
