With all due respect to the dev team, I think its very dumb to do gender locking races this late into the game, especially in 2019. Genderlocked races and or classes has a very F2P MMO feel to me, not remotely fitting of a sub based MMO. I know they are hard at work making fantastic content but if they can work on 2 races, with one of both gender, they could easily have scrapped the Hrothgar and implement it in 6.0.

I appreciate the fact they wanted to do 2 races this time around because they didnt have one for stormblood, but I think everyone agrees that having 2 half races isnt as good as 1 full race.

I hope they take all the feedback into consideration and implement male Viera as asap, preferably smaller than the females. Considering they are good at hunting it would be cool to see if their speed and skill comes from being a fair bit smaller than the females thus allowing ease of hiding in the forest to catch unaware prey.
