Gender locked race?

[LaylaTsarra]

They look amazing. The animations looked awesome too. I suspect the race will be gender locked. Don't think that will be a popular thing but I suspect they'll be showing another race real soon.

I'm not a fan of gender locked races. They're usually very tacky and blatantly catered to outright fan-service. Even if the race isn't gender locked it's pretty clear that male Viera will effectively be overlooked. There's only a handful of male Miq'ote represented by NPC's and male Viera are described as even rarer.

I don't have an issue with outright fan service when it's done across the board. Yet so far there's no sign that that'll be the case.

It's particularly odd when one considers that a lot of people asking for Viera did so because they wanted to play male Viera.

Honestly really hoping they give us male viera. I've been waiting relatively patiently since the concept art back when Heavensward was announced. It's been something I've been eager to use and i've been really supporting of SE's decisions as of late, considering they had said they wouldn't do gender locked races way back in ARR because of the backlash they'd gotten about the Mithra and Galka, so what did they do for ARR? Miqo'te and Rogyden, both similar in stature but giving male and female versions to 'classic' races.

Honestly. I'm okay with the female viera, they look good. And I can see the lingerie being the equivalent of the linen underclothes like how it's unique across each race. despite being the same item. But as for males? I'm really, really hoping they don't hold onto the information until Tokyo. I'd rather they break my heart now than to have to wait weeks to finally hear a no.

Viera needs males. If they don't add males then they need to add a male only race.

>Some of us haven't forgotten it was rumored to have two new races for Shadowbringers.

Even though they said Viera was the last race, given the amount of trolling before showing Viera, it wouldn't surprise me at this point. Also, because players tend to like to bring up SE making _ promise and not keeping it. It would be a little nice to have them 'break' this 'promise.'

Well, there have been leaks that Ronso were also going to be added, so... I'm starting to wonder if that's not the case. F!viera, M!ronso.

Honestly I'd be at least content if that was the case. I also wouldn't put it past the cavalcade of trolls to do exactly that.

Wheres the leaks? I haven't heard of this.

I'm not really sure what the stance is on the forums so I'm not going to drop links but if you google ffxiv, viera, and leaks, you'll get links to the discussions.
