Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

Im all for it. More customization, more the merrier.

I'd love to see female hrothgar.
Imagine an entire race of "as badass as myrlweb" women.

Honestly, I never liked Ronso in FFX, so adding them to FFXIV under a different name doesn't excite me.

That being said, I am glad we get another race, and for those who are happy with the addition of the Hrothgar.

Still, I feel races should always have a male and a female option for many reasons, and I do hope they add female Hrothgar in the future.

/signed gender-locking is archaic and does not belong in today's mmorpg games.

As I said on the Viera page, as long as the lore for the race is written in a way that allows for the presence of both genders to make sense, I'm totally okay with removing the gender-lock.

There shouldn't be any gender locking in this post-ARR game, we should go forwards rather than backwards.
I sincerely thank the devs for the work they've done, I hope they understand why this is so jarring for many in the community.

I agree. Not only would I personally consider buying a fantasia to change to a female Hrothgar, but I believe that genderlocking these two races so that the only new options in this expansion are sexualized bunny girls and strong beast men reinforces harmful and regressive stereotypes about gender. Devs, you are doing great work everywhere else, so please remove the lock to provide options to your playerbase and show you do not support such tropes.

I also want to throw my support in here for the eventual release of male viera and female hrothgar, and express my disappointment in the decision to return to genderlocked races after already having addressed and corrected the issue in the past with adding male miqo'te and female roegadyn and highlanders.

Though I appreciate the effort to try to please two subsets of players at once -- those wanting viera and those wanting a bestial race -- I think this was entirely the wrong way to go about it, and in the end, alienates more people than it pleases.

I also understand that it's too late now for changes at ShB launch, but please reconsider undoing the genderlock at a later date when more development resources may be available. This is something that's extremely important to many of your players, and seemingly at one point in time, was important enough to the dev team to remove once before -- and that's the dev team whose decisions to do so I was super proud of and to which I was happy to pay my sub.

We understand it is a lot of work to create new races Square, but gender-locking sets a very bad precedent and was abolished in 2.0 for a reason. Either way, now that we have two new races before the "no-new-races" came into effect, please consider working on the other two genders as the next step! Female Hrothgar and male viera!
