Gender locked race?

[Wolfyboy]

if those leaks are true
i do hope people don't hate "hrothgar" just because they are not male vieras

I personally believe it'll be all dependent of what is said in the next fanfest.

If it is, "We thought these would look cooler" it would be at the race.
If it is the person who created Viera who said he didn't want them in FFXIV/in it yet until he reveals it himself then it will be at him.
If Yoshi says he didn't want male Viera personally, it'll be directed straight at him.

can't remember there was one leak that mentioned crystal tower can't remember which though

There was the older maybe-leak-maybe-copycat claiming the Crystal Tower would be important, which was then strengthened by possibly-G'raha apearing on the 5.0 poster. I'm not sure if there's something more recent.

And now there was a picture from an official stream that people are taking to be a G'raha minion, but I think it just looks like a chibi fanart picture. I'm only going on the one screenshot that was posted in this thread here though.

Im sure they wil get some different beard options if human like face
Hoping for some big floof hairstyles kinda like au ra sonic hair cuts but longer and bit more wild

And good bulk between Au ra and Roe

I kinda refuse to believe those leaks. But thats just me trying to stay positive.
Genderlocking a race wont do any good for the Dev Team. The community will respond to that and demand for M/F of both races.
While I am ok staying Miqote, I doubt another musclehead race will be popular. People that play Roe, Au Ra or Highlander will just fantasia to a Bara cat, making those races even more extinct (esp. Roe's)

Yeah. Not saying whether it's accurate or not. Like I said before it's fishy to say like where you work and stuff. We will see what is good for the dev team though. Kinda like with all the other disasters people bring up in this forum, it's all just some people being super vocal. At least they have been listening to feedback.

Becoming a leaker and announcing where you work at is just asking to be fired.
But another thing I haven't seen discussed here is the leaker talking about the other discord leaker that got too 'excited' and spread misinformation. When you put them side by side, the new leaker really didn't offer anything different. The Kirin Osode, Vermillion Cloak, and Crystal Tower (except for the cat part, which I guess can be counted as new information) were already confirmed before the new person rolled in. And of course, you can argue that the older one really was told this information by the new one... but it's still a bit odd imo.

Link to older discord stuff here.
Edit: Two other things about both of the leaks. The older one mentions, "my sources" which can be the newer person. But still, I too can confirm old information and refuse to mention anything about MSQ even tho I clearly told the other leaker about MSQ things (Minfilia and the Crystal Tower portal).

In the end we'll never really know about the leaker, or whether they were right or wrong (unless it comes true.) The gender-locked thing could have been right but they changed it due to outcry or just because they wanted to discredit the leaks. (Now, I don't believe any "new" leakers because it's too easy to jump on the hype train for attention and trollery, especially since there's already a basis for all of your leaks. It's a lot more likely to be believed when someone pulls "gunblade" out of nowhere before we even meet the "new" NPC that suggested it than it is when you just say "yeah! What they said! I corroborate!")

It could all be a publicity stunt - I don't remember anything in SB getting this much discussion.

In the end, what is is and we'll find out in a week or two.
