No female Hrothgar? No sub.

I've said it in other threads and I'll say it here, I'm not angry about the gender lock but I'm more surprised than anything else. A gender locked race is not something I ever would have expected from Yoshida and his team. No male viera, two gender locked races, no healer. I'm so confused by their design decisions this time around.

I don't find it confusing, myself.

SE wanted to make a beasty race because they knew it was something the game lacked back then, while the fanbase mostly wanted Vieras. Adding races to this game is a huge pain and adds tons of new work per patch, for every single piece of equipment needs to be adjusted to the new race; thus, SE decided that this would be the very last race they'd add. Now, if you can only add one more race, how can you fulfill both the need for a beasty race and also the need for Viera? The solution was to release half and half in an attempt to please everyone.

Even if I'm not a fan of half races, I do understand why they did it this way.
