I just wanted to add my voice to the "we don't like gender-locking races" and "please consider introducing male Viera" discussions![]()
Square-Enix doing gender locked races is nothing new it's been done before.
I bet at some point someone will make all female Viera free company and will name it "Playboy". In the whole free company will be one male Lalafell or something.
I just wanted to throw SE my support on locking the genders. Like most I don't really care, but most of the male characters and outfits look stupid in this game so I'm glad I don't have to look at them prancing around.

I don't see why people have an issue with erp when you have a blocklist. If its not something your interested in ignore it. You play the game your way and lets others play their own way.

Ah, the good ol' "I hate what someone else likes so nobody should have it" mentality. Perfect for single-player games.

I want to show my support to Male Viera and Female Hrotgar. I was very disappointed to see this decission and while I can understand that doing the counterpart will be costy, genderlock is not inclusive and I don't want that in nowadays gaming industry. I do not support genderlock in FFXIV. I will never be okay with that.
I was really happy to hear that Yoshida was firmly against genderlocking in 2.0 and this with the fact of no racelocking (which is the main reason I didn't play others MMo's with that restriction) were the reason I started to play in FFXIV. I love this game, I really do. I wouldn't be commenting in the forum otherwise. I read and know a lot of people that dreamed to play as a Male Viera for so long. I also know some girls that wanted a female and beasty race. I think that Eorzea is an amazing world because you can be whatever you want and express yourself in many ways. So please, Square Enix, let FFXIV to continue that way.


Sorry (not really) to burst your bubble, but you're in the minority.


Sure, its been done before. Doesn't mean it needs to happen in FFXIV. And the only games I know that do gender locks are low quality Korean games. FFXIV is better than those games and its supposed to be better than gender locks.
