Gender locked race?

[Laerune]

All hope for a male Viera went away, when we saw the interview with Yoshida where he dismissed the male Viera design for being weird, because he found it to cute, beautiful and with a female Viera only trailer. I think the leaks are correct. In 18 days we will find the truth, as for me, I am expecting to be disappointed.

Lets hope the male exclusive race looks very good.

I have said it before but if that is the case I don't get how the race got past the design stage, if they can't make males for the race it seems a really odd choice to add it to the game.

Because there doesn't always have to be a race with both genders. The next race could be male only, who cares?

Clearly a lot of people care, otherwise this thread would not exist.

The only restriction they had with designing male viera over this new race is they needed bunny ears everything else full freedom.

If they go through with this i will be as vocal as much as possible to get both genders for both races, i won't care if they are sick of the questions i won't just accept we're working on it because 3yrs for a bunny suit for males that is 3yrs for 1 single outfit on half the character models a race is way too much work to just be gradually worked on it requires way more of the dev team to do it would have to have hard deadlines to make happen. Finally i would vote with my wallet and ShB will be the 1st expansion i won't get CE with and would finally halt my sub if i feel unsatisfied.

I really wonder what aspect of Japanese culture makes the male devs not want to design bunny male anything. Like it took them that long because I guess it was hard to get the devs to want to jump on it. I'm assuming if there's no male Viera it would have to be the same cultural idea.

To add to this:
We are talking about that one culture that has the weirdest ideas, kinks and what not.
Theyre acting like the most innocent, pure school girl.

I have no idea but we know it doesn't have to do with feet as they have made plenty of heeled foot armor so it really is something to do with the upper body that they have a problem with question is what

I always thought of Fran (the main example of Viera to me as a child) as the strongest character in the story, mostly because of the Viera being women only (visibly) plus the scene where she goes berserk due to the mist. Also she always seemed to be the knowledgeable character in the story, giving the background of different locations as you traveled. The Eruyt Village part of the story was interesting to me because of the isolationism as well as being able to communicate with the wood and how leaving it left Fran kind of disconnected from the rest of the Viera.

That's why the Viera (Fran) was always so popular in my view, anyway.
