Also, I remember people asking for Ronso or a more bestial race.

You asked for Viera and got it. It's a race where we only ever see the females for lore reasons. As a result, we ended up with male only Ronso to balance it out. It's really not that complicated.
I said, perhaps with too many words, that choosing to do two gender-locked races is a breaking a promise, breaching trust, and lowering overall quality and credibility. That in and of itself is a bad thing, especially given how it has all been handled. You would disagree with that?

I am not talking about lore at all. If I'm being honest, I personally didn't want viera to begin with, because they are a race from Ivalice that has been somehow magically transplanted to another world called Hydaelyn because fans like them, where they did not originate from and do not belong, and that sounds pretty against the lore to me. But, lore aside, they went back on their word and are changing something that is a staple of the game, that made it unique, and are releasing something that is lower quality than previously. Full stop.
