Gender locked race?

[artyport]

There's awful a lot of ground to cover between roegadyn and "cute bunboys", which is exactly what Yoshi has been resistant to considering in the past.

Thankfully I can fall back on midlanders or au ra if I don't like the male variants of the new race(s) added.



Strictly speaking, there's a number of races which actually do fit that aesthetic. Elezen probably come closest. If the issue is the facial selection, would it not make more sense to simply ask for more facial options?



Yes, except he's not talking about beauty, per se.

Omega M is also a robotic construct. I don't even consider him particularly attractive, nor do I consider Seiryu beautiful.

They just lack what is required to captivate me. Ironically, most prominent examples of elves have far more masculine facial features, be it any Warcraft elven race, TES elves, the WH elves, the Aen elle from Witcher, and even a lot of the D&D elf art.

My guess is that our standards of what is beautiful differ by quite a bit. I already consider many of the auri and midlander male faces to be quite beautiful.

Dude. Plz Omega M is Hot.

and his physical body structure and face style is not available in game.
I'd Love more customization options but they are not doing that.
I'm also kinda of happy that Elezen are the way they are.

Whats more annoying is that people keep asking for MORE MACHO options when they already have 3 to chose from and pretty boys only have midlanders who have kinda weird shaped bodies.

also omega m has the perfect lean body type that translate both feminine and masculine. 3 pretty faces and one traditionally strong jaw masc face and we have a race of men bunnies that suit everyone!!!

Many people have requested more options for male characters over the years. It's a broad spectrum ranging from classically handsome to ruggedly handsome, lean to outright bulky. It just so happens that whenever there's a push for such things, it gets silenced by a very vocal portion of the community.

t - 10 days until SE crushes us with the news of gender locked races

I’m gonna assume the worst and think that none of the Hrothgar faces will have giant beards as a facial hair option.

[JamiaHaab]

Hrothgar will be nothing but beard.

[BillyKaplan]

Hrothgar will be nothing but beard.

Playable Ramuh confirmed! \o/

[Fredco191]

Hrothgar will be nothing but beard.

Probably. But what if they aren’t? It’s easier for me to expect to not get what I want. That way if I actually get what I want, I’ll be happier. But if I don’t. I won’t be disappointed. It’s a dumb system I just made up for myself.

We're not a hive mind. There are many gay and bisexual men who do not conform to what is pushed as 'gay culture' and 'gay beliefs'.

I wasn't trying to say that we were. Just that these two races seem to fall neatly into two genres that are popular with gay men. Not that all gay men are interested in just those two things, everyone is different. But for the association to be there in the first place, there has to be a good amount of interest coming from somewhere in the community. I mean, earlier on we were both talking about wanting muscly bunnies. That's pretty much what bara is. But I get what you're saying, you don't want people assuming stuff about you just because you're gay. I don't like that either. We all don't like lady gaga and quote drag race all day. :v I'm sorry if I was being too general.

I mean personally, I would be happy if Hrothgar were a race that looked like Byakko's human form. I'd just be peeved at the situation. I can't imagine everyone who wants male viera will just forget about them because Hrothgar look cool. Not to mention you'll be hearing from people who want female Hrothgar eventually too. It's looking to be an exact repeat of the situation with miqote and roegadyn in 1.0. We even had people back then claiming it wasn't a big deal and that the devs didn't care/had bigger things to worry about.

[Seraphor]

Whatever they do, just know, that there is room in the code for two new races with both genders.
So even if they genderlock Viera and Hrothgar now, it's possible to undo that in 6.0 or onwards, and it's simply a matter of time and resources.
