Gender locked race?

[cicatriz313]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

i feel like people saying they need to be masculine to be great killers obviously never felt the rath of a bitchy queen.
We will kill you in one shot for sure.

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

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 mean, its super easy to tell if someones gay on the internet and its completely impossible for a lgbt person to be homophobic, right? Wish SE knew better than to invite a discussion about gender by not showing male Viera. This thread is terrible.
