Gender locked race?

[RikkCavalier]

Showing continued support for all genders for all races! No gender locked races please! Male Viera Fem Roth Lets go! Male Viera Fem Roth Lets go!! /day 6

Rename the second new race to Viera male! Yoshi said Viera is the new race so be it! Don’t do more than people asked and get yourself in trouble because most people aren’t that grateful about your extra efforts, Yoshi!

Streamlined both new races into just ONE new race named Viera! We have both males and females new race gender. Just that they are called 2 different names! Makes people confused and angry! By combining both, problems solved!

I guess they chose they'd rather face the genderlock riot than going for the good ol' gaming trope:




At least being genderlocked gives the possibility of the other gender to still be added, but if Hrothgar were indeed male Viera, the 7 hells would've unleashed.

Not to sound snarky, but if the fans genuinely didn't like fantasy tropes, they wouldn't have demanded Viera. Not that I'm judging. It's just apparent to me that the Viera female design is a trope design in and of itself, regardless of what is done with the males. It's the old supermodel women in high heels/playboy bunny trope. Making the men smaller/shorter/thinner, etc doesn't change that. Roger Rabbit didn't make Jessica Rabbit any less of a trope. :P

Dear Devs, I have dreamed of Male Viera since Final Fantasy XII. This is a fantasy that predates XIV. Please add Male Viera and Female Rothgar. Thank you. /day 7 (I missed a day T.T)

I am strongly against having gender-locked races like this. The Male Viera concept art had a unique build and was highly requested. There is no ground in using lore to reason it. Additionally, denying a female version of the only beastly race is a dated concept.

This ↑. And I agree with the character model builds that the original concept art showed for the Male Vieras. The Female Roth will definitely be the stockier female build than any of the other races, I just really hope they fix the eyes and the over all quality of the Rothgar face. I posted earlier in the thread about the big differences between the faces shown on the Viera trailer versus the faces on the Roth trailer. But ultimately, everyone will be happy if both races are added. /Day 8

Viera males and Hrothgar females!!! Let them out, Square!

I'm all for adding more stuff

I was surprised they decided no Male viera for now after how many people were looking forward to them on here.
