Gender locked race?

[Seraphor]

Well, there's been more "leaks". Someone claiming to be the source of blufevers info has stated that there is a second male genderlocked race. That they're not Ronso, but described as 'bara cats'.

I have to say I'm actually warming to the idea.
I'd never switch to Viera, male or female, but depending on how this new cat race turns out, if true... could be a possibility.

I saw that and it looked fake. Nothing they were adding wasn't already known already.
I still don't understand the whole adding of a second race which is a cat - when we already have a cat race. I would have believed it more if they said it was a wolf/fox/monkey - yes, the bloody monkey would have been more believable! I'd rather have a race similar to that of the last boss from swallows compass than another cat!

I also have to ask how a feline male is less weird than a rabbit male? I mean, if they made the design more than just 'knock off Khajiit' than I can see it, and it was more like Lion-dogs Komainu? Instead, we're going to get what I imagine to be 'Humanoid Byakko' - which BTW has the same type of feet as Viera. And while Byakko does look pretty handsome for what he is. I'd be rather disappointed if they simply take the model from Byakko to make another feline race. His body - regarding the muscle structure - and his face would have been ideal for a male Viera in my opinion, it's very manly and not at all what a person can describe as 'cute'.

Sorry for the huge image, will hide box it once I figure out the BBCODE

I doubt Rev or Garif are male viera.
If young female/male Viera look the same til the age of 13, male Viera would need to mutate most likely to look like Rev or the Garif. I doubt a cute bunny child with maybe tiny/no ears can grow into a cat-like race. Also lets not forget the proportions of the ears.

Oh no, I wasn't saying that Garif were male Viera - I was saying that it seems much more likely to me that they would have been 'male race' that is supposedly gender locked. Back in the day people thought Garif were male Viera, but that was simply because each 'tribe' only had one sex in it. Viera had females, Garif had males. Of course Garif females and Viera males exist - but that's simply what people speculated due to the lack of seeing them.

To me Byakko looks like a male viera more than a feline race
I honestly wouldn't mind a race that looks like him (if we can adjust the muscle size)

I read about that too, but to be honest... there needs to be more evidence about this.
I could simply claim to be a leaker too on discord.
While Blu did this stuff last year and his were more or less accurate over time, this new one claiming to be one as well, is just silly imo. Trying to get attention, being angry about comments people leave here and on reddit (other platforms). Looks more like someone wants bara cats and is unhappy about people asking for bun bois
Or who knows, maybe thats how male Viera look like?

Bara cats ?? lmfao
Now that I think of it, there is a possibility that the new "male race" (ronso / bara cats) are a new miqo'te subrace

Half the leaks in that image were wrong anyway. The only credibility it has will be found out on Tuesday since they're claiming Kirin's Osode and Vermillion Cloak are glamour items from Hydatos.
If those items show up then you have your furry race.

There was another thing claiming those a while back. Allegedly from BluFever or possibly a copycat. Both with the same wrong info about BLU being melee DPS.

hmm i had to look up both those items and seeing how their both body pieces it seems unlikely we'd get both i would find the Kirin's Osode more likely as the wind up tarutaru minion has the vermillion cloak on and i feel that will be it's reference in ffxiv we also have 2 minions left for the ffxi races to go as well an emote that i haven't seen from the website we also yet to have any leg or arm gear as an item from there.
I'm not saying it's impossible but seems unlikely we would get both

The Wind-up Mithra is wearing the Scorpion Harness and we still got the Scorpion Harness in game as well. So just because a minion is wearing it doesn't exclude it from being given as a gear piece.

fair enough never saw it i still feel it's unlikely to get 2 non eureka(high ilv stuff) body pieces as potential stuff in Hydratos pool of items but we will see Tuesday/Wednesday
