As an XI player for years that dabbled in 1.0, I still remember how freakin' beyond thrilled I was when the first male Miqo'te screenshots were released during 2.0 development!

I think I'd feel very differently if either Viera or Hrothgar were absolutely verified to be female or male only (like the Galka in XI- they were 'male only' but not REALLY male if you wanted to get technical, they actually constantly reincarnated. Male Mithra existed, but canonically were also rare enough that they were actually gently, but forcibly kept within Mithra towns and cities to help ensure that the Mithra had a breeding population- they were literally not allowed to go out and adventure at all, thus why there were no playable male Mithra.)

However, we know that male Viera exist (to the point of XIV lore having even been specifically created for them) and we know female Hrothgar exist due to female Ronso being very present and existing.

Give us the bunnie bois and lion ladies!
