This argument is weak and tired.
Implying you wouldn't get this kind of content if we got 2 more races. Quite invalid argument, imo.


The answer is really easy; they didn't have enough dev time to create 4 races. Now, you have 2 options;

1: Accepting the reality.
2: Not accepting the reality.

If you choose 2, it's entirely your own and individual problem. You can give your opinion and everything, but you can't really be mad or anything, because there was literally no time.
They will probably bring up the 2 other races in a future, but you can't ask for them right now.

You didn't have the Viera/Hrothgar option when you bought FFXIV, so the quality of the game should stay the same for you. Now we got not 1, but 2 new races, so your game quality increased. The thing is they didn't have enough time to complete the other 2 sexes, but they'll probably do them in the future just like they did male Miqo'te.

Calling Devs sexists is not a respectful and succint appeal, and it's wrong in so many levels that I can't still believe what I'm reading in the forums since the letter.
I don't know if you called them sexist or anything, but there's a lot of people that are using this excuse to escape the singular reality; Devs didn't have enough time.
