"Unlocking the Genders" was just apart of the MANY things the game needed fixed
This thread is hyper focused on gender because it’s a thread about male viera, specifically.

Also my comment was more aimed at the transition from 1.0 to ARR. not from XI. If it wasn’t a big issue, then I don’t see why they devoted so much time to it. Yoship has mentioned over and over what a pain it is to do, and more recently said it’s not particularly enjoyable either. So it’s not like it was a passion project. It may not have been an issue to the playerbase that stuck around, but lack of variety probably wasn’t scoring them any brownie points with newer players. It was detrimental enough, they felt, to really focus on fixing.

And so it’s probably worth fixing again, at some point in the future.
