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!
