Gender locked race?

[Penthea]

Not sure what it means locked gender

It means the race has only one playable gender. For now only female viera have been announced and many players are concerned that this means there will be no males. A race called "hrothgar" was leaked, so many think this might be a male only race. Gender locking is seen as a step backwards because it was around in 1.0 (no male miqos, no female roes) but it was removed in 2.0. So reintroducing it for other races seems a bit odd.

This has to be one of the most low effort races I've seen in a game just add bunny ears.. they could have easily had their main feature as a cosmetic head piece.

I'm tired of weeb races can we get some more features for the already existing ones?

Faces, face customization, body customization are all extremely lacking if we're talking modern MMO here.

If anything I hope the next race doesn't have a tail or horns or (insert cute animal here) ears if they refuse to add more customization.

Not sure how Viera is a "weeb" race but ok. Playing a JP game complaining about JP aesthetics lol... I think we all would like more customization but I think it's pretty likely a lion race would have a tail.

You know damn well they won't update the character creator or even existing models which is why Au Ra have a more polished appearance compared to other races which are going to look even more dated compared to Viera.

Yep and we're talking races that were developed during the mid 2000's when FFXIV was announced under the codename Rapture. So all of the FFXIV 1.0 races are over a decade old. The character creator needs a huge update but listening to what Yoshida has said in live letters Q&As and interviews, I don't see an update like that happening until at least 6.0. SE will need to overhaul their graphics engine.

6.0 is most likely when they will do it.
