I mean, we might not get the update that some of us desire/want - but yes, it will spark some sort of reminder that some folks are still waiting for news on the whole 'missing genders' situation. Honestly, it's the uncertainty that gets me.

I'm almost 100% certain the answer, if it's even addressed will be the same one that has been given to those waiting. I really think 5.1 is far more realistic of an expectation for it to be addressed again, even if it is and if it is, I would also expect another repeat or very short response.

If I am being honest, I am nearly expecting Yoshida to provide a much harsher answer due to how often it is brought up, as he is won't to do on subjects like this. Such as Egi glamour, Hints about new jobs, Blue Mage, Tank DPS, and Job balance before the mid expasion patches.

That's my assumption as well. I believe, at the time of the previous statement, the development team announced that they were working on 5.1 already. By this point, they're likely working on both the next expansion and future patch content for the current expansion. Given how tight their schedule is and how far they plan ahead I doubt anything has changed in regards to the missing genders. It might in the future when the development team have a bit more breathing room but equally the game has proven that when it comes to fan demand there are hard lines drawn in regards to certain elements.

BLU being a key example as well as the way in which player housing and A/S Rank hunts work.

So, ultimately, I don't expect a different answer. It'll be a pleasant surprise if so.

Yeah, I honestly think the earliest they'll be able to add male viera would be 6.0.
