    I rather think, from what little I know of the lore, that they made these Viera genderlocked, for lore reasons, and brought in the furry race to even things out, for similar reasons. I doubt they will be bringing male versions anytime soon, if they are confirmed genderlocked. Only way I can see them bringing in male/female variants of either would be if there was enough community uproar for them. For Viera, let's just get this out of the way, it would have been 9/10 female to males anyway.

    Lore can't be a valid reason for genderlocks for four reasons.

    1. WHM - You're literally supposed to be the ONLY ONE outside of Padjal
    2. SMN - You're lliterally supposed to be the only one.
    3. BLM - There's only like... 2 of you at best.
    4. SCH - You're supposed to be the only one that's not a Tonberry.

    All of these classes are far rarer than Male Viera or Female Hrothgar could ever hope to be. But you can have an Alliance with 6 WHM and like.. all BLM/SMN if you want. Why is this race thing the hill to die on? The multitude of people playing these classes alone should kill immersion.

    I believe DRG is also quite rare. Although some of those jobs are becoming a bit less exclusive now, as you say they're rarer than male Viera would ever be, and particularly WHM. It's really not the issue people make it out to be, and male mooncats have similar lore anyway. When pushed, Yoshi mentioned it was a resource issue, so the lore thing is pretty much beside the point at this stage.
