Gender locked race?

My main concern is that the second batch of MSQ's aren't due until after the Tokyo Fan Fest. So we might still be left in the dark in regards to what is coming next to prevent spoilers.

Oh dang, I forgot about this. Eugh...

The 3rd fanfest was where they dropped the larger spoiler bombs for stormblood (we didn't know were heading East until the final trailer was released!) last time around so I'd be surprised if they rented out an incredibly massive venue only to pull punches.

well.... maybe. They haven't given us a date for part two of the 4.5 MSQ only the vague "late March" timeframe

We know that Fan Fest is March 22, so they could drop the patch on March 19. Granted that's more of a "mid March" type of date, but it would make sense to get it out ahead of the Fan Fest for exactly that reason.

Pretty sure that Yoshi said 4.56 would in all likelihood roll out after Fanfest, i.e. on Tuesday in the following week (March 26th).

I hope they're avalible as male. i'd feel like a creep playing as a bunnygirl and i'm not even a guy.

If we don't get male Viera, you guys better be prepared for the influx of gay men masquerading as glamorous bunny girls. :v Don't get catfished.

Yeah. . . I feel worse they might put it in as a cliff hanger for the event, and then a slightly more detailed one at the end of stormblood MSQ. . Lol /cry

While they'll go into more detail at one of the latest presentations (near the full combat breakdown presentation time), then only we can step off the rollercoaster that is this ride XD.

The benchmark is usually 2 months away from launch right? So they could have a presentation prepared around late April early May with the new race (assuming true) with the release of the benchmark.

I remember in WoW I had a friend that would dress down a female night elf and beg for gold (back when buying your first mount was a huge achievement) . . . . annoyingly he was able to get his mount before me because he farmed the people with that night elf dance and god knows what else lol. Meanwhile I was earning me pet the slow way >.>.

meh the only way i'd play the female is if i could make them as close to a guy as i could that ass is tempting if can't be a Bunboi XD

Either in the form of male Viera or Lion people, we are getting a male counterpart.

Curious if the Lion race ends up being the male Viera to begin with.
