Gender locked race?

[Zumi]

Personally I don't mind single gender races. I played a Mithra in FFXI and Miqote in FFXIV 1.0. It feel like it adds some uniqueness to the race and lore. For example it can be fun to play as the female only race where you have a group of female warriors. The FF12 lore where Viera is directly taken from says that the males are rare and go into hiding.

It is possible for them to have a male only counterpart later that isn't announced yet as well.

Hey guys, this is the last race we will be adding...... and gender locked. Please look forward to it.

Whats next ? Dancer being female only ? Please look forward it.

And the fact that there wasn't even a male shown in the concept art on the splash screen? That would be how you hype. Show both concepts, then show how the ladies panned out and leave us waiting to see how they translated the males from page to model.

Besides, I still say that if you have so little content that you have to wait to announce the second half of something that should just go hand in hand with the first announcement... hmm. Content drought, indeed.

Honestly I don't understand what they are doing, I try to imagine why they do not announce male vieras, but all the conclusions are wrong. Its just... bad.

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

I agree that it's a bad move by SE to either not mention the male Viera, or to not have one/have a different male race in general. However, the way people are talking like their lives are over is beyond ridiculous. I get the "I won't buy the expansion if they ___" posts, that's cool, don't buy it. Makes sense. But to say you are instilled with RAGE over it is a bit much.

I agree with this.

I'm going to be upset when ronso gets announced instead. Why do we get sexy women for all the straight guys to fawn over but no males equivalent?

I don't mind fan service pandering if theres some options for me too. Korean MMOS already do a good enough job ignoring women and gay men, it's sad that SE is going the same route after showing some signs of caring with cat boys and bunny costume.

I guess the furry bara community will get something from ronso. I'll just try and be happy for them.
