Gender locked race?

[Beckett]

Catch is though, they said that at least presently they plan for Viera to be the last race.

Normally I would take them at face value on that, but with no male Viera in sight, and the leaks being right about literally everything up to this point, it seems likely that they'll do something like, "I know we said Viera was the last new race... but we've gotta give the guys something! Check out [Lion race]!"

Haha it would be really cool if they did that! I'm still a bit skeptical, but if you end up being right about that would still be pretty awesome. Gotta see how it goes! Either way, they have a lot of time and can always build according to reactions they receive as the game progresses. My question is mainly whether they'll take the previous reactions to Roegadyn and Miqo'te as their test sample or if they're still wary, and what they plan to do with that info.

I wish people would stop being so upset that there's a possibility that this might be a one gender race.

People calling out SE and what not saying it's lazy and pandering, only giving people the fan service. Like really? Can you please take a step back and look at what your saying? I'm not saying I'm against having male and female viera in FFXIV but it just seems so arbitrary that people have to keep throwing these kind of things at SE. We could have no new race going into shadowbringers and I'd be perfectly fine with it, in fact if this turns into such a huge mess about the fact that a race in an mmo game is only locked to one gender (be it male or female) than I wish we'd never been given them in the first place.

I would rather have none than 2 locked. I came from KMMOs- gender locked races are 100% lazy pandering.

sorry people are not allowed to want something that's been asked for several years now and possibly not ever happening for one side of the party
my bad

That's the thing though, we've been wanting these for years and now people are getting bent out of shape because we haven't seen any signs of male viera and it's like the worlds going to implode.

I’m going to be optimistic for once and assume that they haven’t finished working on the males yet.

I wanted to play a male bunny, I am sad and confused

Please point me to the post where someone implied the world is going to implode. In the meantime, let me remind you that "If this doesn't happen I'm going to feel this way" is not an inference to said world implosion, rather people stating how the exclusion of the male gender would make them feel. So far, the only people I've seen overreacting or "getting bent out of shape" are the people who read the topic of this thread and start seeing red. We have acknowledged that there are other fan fests. We have acknowledged the possibility of a future reveal of the male Viera. However, their complete disregard of the topic has some, myself included, a bit concerned. We're allowed to be. Just like you're allowed to come in here and chastise people. The only people I've seen "get bent out of shape" are those with their weak counter arguments or snide comments (you fall into the latter).

the negativity around gender locking is since ARR they have decided not to do that and it could lead to another potential problem thats in kmmos and that is gender locked jobs want to try new job get a fantasia for £/$ i rather ffxiv stays away from any gender locking on races/jobs
