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

could you imagine if male viera were fully implemented and we just werent allowed to play them

That would be apocalyptic for SE

So was Yoshida wrong when he said he didn't like gender locking so he made sure male Miqote and female Roadagyn were made?

Yea, I didn't even think of that. Hasn't Yoshi used the term himself? :v Are you gonna tell him he's using it wrong too OP?

can people put link of the article when he said that, I haven't find any interview at moment where he says that. In the last Interview he said that he added the male Miqo'te and female Roegadyn to fill a void that was present before launch

OP hasn't posted in a while so I'll take the pass: If neither one of them were present in 1.0 in any form i.e. NPCs then yes, he's using the term wrong because they weren't available to be locked.

Merlwyb was in 1.0

Merlwyb was in 1.0

merlwyb was probably added when they were already developing the female roegadyn assets. iirc she was introduced in patch 1.22, near the end of the legacy's lifetime.

[Joven]

Merlwyb was in 1.0

There was a male miqo. (If im not remembering wrong)

If that's the case then they were available, so they would be considered locked.

[Lacan]

There weren't any male miqote assets till ARR. Merlwerlbrylylberb was the only female roe in 1.0 and her model was completely unique. People weren't sure what race she was, some thought she was just a unique looking f elezen.


So the traditional race assets weren't in 1.0 and m miqote and f roe were still considered "genderlocked." Checkmate nerds. :v
