Gender locked race?

[Kazran]

I want both, its absolutely baffling why Square would take this step back after 1.0 and fixing it in 2.0!

This just makes the original Viera reveal video feel even more voyeuristic and fanservicey! There is not reason for them to not have Male Viera and Female Hrothgar, They write the lore!

Posting here to show my disappointment in the gender locked races. We need male Viera and female Hrothgar.

This needs to be a priority in my opinion and should be released during the 5.x cycle, the earlier the better.

I would even buy 10 Fantasia if it would allow me to go male bunny. But guess I stay cat or figure out how to make females work.....
just sad rn

Also posting to say I'm disappointed that there won't be male Viera. I'm not a fan of the overly bulky male aesthetic, either Hrothgar or Roe. It just looks kind of strange to me, like every male of that race grew up in a gym and was forced to pump weights all day. If male Viera aren't going to happen could we at least get some variety? Maybe a male Roethgar who was a little lazy and somehow escaped from mandatory gym time?

That's a miqo'te.

I don't know what to say beside that I am extremely disappointed. I've been looking forward playing as a female monster race for the past 4 years and now it was so close but *no*, more sexy object females and a male 'ronso' locked in gender as well. I just don't understand why.

Do we really need two cat races though? Really?

I think this is my main issue with them. I feel like they should have based them on another animal. (Bears perhaps?)

My main issue. (These quotes are on a different thread.j

SE did a great job, people were arguing about a beast race and a bunny race in the past. You got both now. You get a woman and a sexy beast. Why not be a Lala and have both at the same time?

It really is sad that they went for the safest and most boring choice. Did people asking for male bunnysuits tell them nothing? People have explicitly asked for male viera, and only vaguely mentioned they might entertain the notion of Ronso. I bet they'd honestly sell more fantasias if they had added bunnymen instead of them! Not to mention, the Hrothgar's facial features are slightly... off? So they really just feel like a half-assed consolation prize when instead they could've easily tweaked the lore to include a clan of viera that have more males or what-have-you if they were THAT worried about lore.

In fact, since they care so much about lore, I think nobody should be Dragoons anymore, or White Mages, since there's technically only two Azure Dragoons ever, and only one person aside the Padjal are allowed to use white magic. It is in fact ruining my immersion to see so many Ninjas around, too! /s
