Gender locked race?

[Melichoir]

Hmm so when I was thinking there would be 'two different races' that are gender locked, it would be two different options to select from (Like Selecting Miqote or Hyur). However, it just dawned on me that what htey may end up doing is putting two races into one category and gender lock that way. So when you create/phantasia your character, its not Viera as one and Hrothgar as another, but both of them are part of some category (Lets call it Fuzzy People for clarity). So you select Fuzzy people and within that you have male Hrothgar, and Female Viera. Two races in one category.

If they did that, (and that might be something they would do) you can kiss any chance at Male Viera or Female Hrothgar good bye.

I still think based on the french screenshot find that this is less likely, since Viera and Hrothgar were coded the same as every other race.

It’d be kinda weird to group 2 very different races as even back in 1.0 locked races had their own tabs.

Viera are from the woods south of Dalmasca. There is no mention of Hrothgar being from Dalmasca (or Othard in general) as far as the lorebook/in-game text goes and assuming they are inspired by Ronso and/or take their name to heart, they’d be from somewhere cold (possibly closer to Garlemald in northern Ilsabard) so they wouldn't really fit under a location tab. “Alliance” and “Resistance” fall under the “Fuzzy people” level of generic-ness so I don’t think they’d work well either.

I was checking youtube videos about if worth playing bdo or tera in 2019, most of the comments were "gender locked races, i will pass", some were even using ffxiv as example of a game that does not have that problem XD It would be funny if not sad.

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.

This is homophobic.

This is homophobic.

Oh, I didn't intend it that way, I'm gay myself. I was just speaking for what I'm going to be doing. XD If I don't get male Viera I'm totally going to be a female Viera, real life sex be damned.

If there is one thing I've learnt from this thread is that people like calling gay guys homophobes. lol

i feel like people saying they need to be masculine to be great killers obviously never felt the rath of a bitchy queen.

Nah, I think it's more about taste really. Bitchy queen is going into the whole sexuality thing. While a masculine dude can still be 'homosexual' - which actually is pretty interesting. Imagine being a homosexual male Viera who is forced to live in that lifestyle. Would they have to breed? Would they just NOT go into the villages during that time? Are they forced to? But meh...

Yeah, I'd rather they weren't looking like a stereotype - those are pretty damaging in themselves.

I mean, how would people view them/want them to look like if they weren't counting their sexuality into it? I would still want them to be masculine and powerful looking just off of going off the lore.

I don't like men and I want them to be taller and powerful because tiny bun boys doesn't seem right considering their lore at all... That being said, SE will do whatever they want because they already butchered Xaela women in particular.
