You can't "lock" something that doesn't exist.

Exactly, we want to see the dev team's vision for this game. Not fans' demands. Else we would have gotten Sephiroth for Alphascape instead of the amazing fight against Omega. What bugs me more is that when the dev team tried to partially implement something based on fans' demand, they got labeled with horrible things despite them explaining why they did it instead of people thanking them for their hard work to provide things for as many players as possible.

That's because much of the player base built their own expectations that male viera were going to happen without any guarantee of such. I witnessed it here and in game. They deluded themselves after Paris fanfest into thinking "Oh the males aren't done which is why they didn't show them. They're definitely still coming!" Not to mention the blufever leaks that were nearly, if not 100%, correct in all their predictions/leaks and everyone chose to ignore it. Blissful ignorance. So now they label the devs as lazy, sexist, homophobic, or what have you because they didn't get their way. I realize the above mentioned was a minority, but they were vocal and rude about it. To the people here that are being reasonable and actually voicing your want for male viera and female Hrothgar, thank you for being reasonable adults.

"Oh the males aren't done which is why they didn't show them."

That's exactly what happened with Hrothgar males, so mocking people for thinking that's why male Vieras weren't shown in Paris is a bit...
