    My Opinion

    Hi I know that people are not gonna agree with me but this is my opinion. (I will not respond to people on this thread I am simply here to post my opinion on the matter) I think they should not gender lock any playable races no matter how much of a re-skin it is. lets face it the beast race they just showed off is a re-skin of a Roe and the bunnies are Elzen with bunny ears (its ok to disagree with me but this is what i am seeing) Now Yoshi has already stated that the new area will be a Mirror of the 1st and even commented on how one of the areas looks an awful lot like Limsa. then you have the dwarf beast tribe.. I mean come on that is a full on re-skin you can't deny it they even revealed it as a re-skin. I get it the concept is cute but with all these re-skins what the actual f are they doing? the creatures are being done by someone new from kingdom hearts and the roe i mean beast race is done its not like the areas were gonna be much different from the arr areas and they can't give me the crap well it takes a lot of time to make new armor for the races because we can all see that those races are not new they are re-skins it makes me curious were the time and money for the game actually went? I want a great game I don't want a standard MMO I want to hold the entire SE group accountable for the release of Re-skins R-US I am annoyed that everyone is ok with this they be like whatever, get over it don't play if that's how you feel, but for the love of god tell people who have been loyal fans and expect more for the actual game to uninstall cuz those loyal fans will want to play the next mmo with the way this one is currently heading? its been 6 years and they are gonna go back to that gender lock? didn't they learn the first time they did that? and for all the sad people saying we should be nice to Yoshi. Mf I have been nice, 6 years I have been waiting for them to make the bunnies and I have played many of the ff games since i was a kid some on release and most per-ordered after this expansion i will seriously reconsider per-ordering again. They can't say that they are gender locked due to Lore that is the dumbest thing i have heard since Mi'quote was gender locked as well as Roe but use that "lore" as a shield it will only make this game a typically mmo and if i want that I will play WoW. I believe in them and I want them to try and do better!

    You might not reply and that's fine, but allow me to poke holes in that logic. By that logic:
    >Au Ra are just Miqo'te with scales instead of fur
    >Roe are burlier Highlanders
    >Elezen are Midlanders with elf ears
    >Miqo'te are just Hyurs with cat features

    If we're going to be reductionist, then apply that argument to everything else and realize how pointless it actually is. It's a better argument for them not to have anything other than Hyurs ingame.

    They can't say that they are gender locked due to Lore that is the dumbest thing i have heard since Mi'quote was gender locked as well as Roe but use that "lore" as a shield it will only make this game a typically mmo and if i want that I will play WoW.

    The races are genderlocked because the dev team hit a snag with time and resources and could only do one of each race. So they split on a compromise and added one of each race. Hope that clears everything up for you. There's threads that you can look into that have this kind of information readily available, would've been nice of you to explore one of those before typing out this tangent.

    This is the real answer here. None of this is about Lore. It's 100% a time/resources debate. As Yoshi P said, each piece of armor in the game has to be remade 2 times now. If they made male Viera and female Hrothgar, they'd have to do it 2 more times. More animations, more everything.

    Now, should they have delayed releasing them until they were able to complete the work on both genders for each? Sure, why not. Would people want to wait though? Probably not. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    What many of you don't seem to understand is when they say they can only do 1 new race as they are now that doesn't mean "Well, if you waited longer you coulda done both".

    It means that they are only able to make and support 1 new race worth of work moving forward.
    So no, if nothing happens to improve their work flow and make this process easier it doesn't matter if it's 5.0 or 7.0 they will not be able to handle more and give us the content we look forward to at the pace we are use to.

    No it's not -_-

    Including two half races sadly follows the new Mantra of the Devs Team which is existing for to long.
    If you don't have enough time, do multiple things on a "okayish" Level instead focusing on making just a few things great.
    The whole 4.0 MSQ is the best example for this. Two Stories, that were meh to okayish, instead of one great Story.
