to be honest a lot more are pleased then un pleased. Give them time and they will work it out. Demanding they do it now will not fix it. I played both 11 and the original 1.0 i dont care about gender locked races. You can still be all the jobs. They cant pull an unknown gender of a race the original makers have not even made yet without consulting them and getting their consent. Till there are males in the ivalice worlds i wouldn't count on them.

I see what you are saying. But what I was saying it was an odd decision to make two races with one gender. instead of one race with two. And we have all seen the male Viera concept art.

Its a old one and most likely the ivalice teams didn't approve of it. I'm sure once we seen them in a game set in ivalice you can look forward to them in this mmo. But for now just wait and be happy we have 2 new races that have a chance to be expanded on later. Be happy they giving us this not just recolored races like WoW keeps getting.

They still met two requests: players who've wanted Viera and players who've wanted bestial races. It's not like the devs gave us something people didn't ask for.

I mean the people asking for male viera are far greater than female hrothgar. Just by looking at the forums

There was also quite a big asking for a beast race. Its drowned out now by the "wahh no male viera" crowd, but it was there.

As for male viera, the Ivalice dev said he never said they couldn't have male viera and didn't really care either way.

I was about to mention that as well. So they could add male's they would just have to decide on how they look. But they created Au Ra. so I'm sure with time we will see them

Those are just extremely loud minorities who do that

I'm sure tons of people are pleased with bunny girls alone.
