I mean, you have to pay for Shadowbringers to get access to these races, so if you want to play as one, you're already out the $40 plus the subscription fee or whatever, and these limitations are nowhere on any of the promotional material they put out for this game that openly advertises the races as one of the reasons to buy the new expac. They were even advertising male Viera with EW promotions and not a single word about the limitations on male Viera was present.

I don't want to say they're intentionally being malicious, but it is a bit hard for me to feel sympathetic towards the devs with the reasoning of "they let you know back in Stormblood that these were going to come with limitations!" when they've otherwise made absolutely 0 effort on making that apparent in anything outside of live letters, especially towards new players who started at or after Shadowbringers launched. I don't think it should be up to the playerbase to make the developers do the right thing. If they're so adamant on keeping these limitations to the point it irritates and frustrates them when players complain, then they should do their own due diligence to let it be known that these are not, and will never be fully functioning races. Until they do that without the community demanding that they do the right thing, it's hard for me to feel sympathetic for them.
funnily enough a similar thing happened with tiny tina's wonderland people who bought the season pass were absolutely fuming that they spent 5-10$ on a DLC (depending on how it was bought) that was barely 10 minutes of content but people who defended them were saying that they knew what they were paying for cause it was described in the description for the DLC. as if that somehow makes up for the fact that it's 10$ for 10 minutes of content (which mind you the only thing hat was explicitly described was how the DLC was structured not how long or how in depth it would be it literally just said you get 5 rooms before a boss and that was basically it not how big the rooms were if they'd have side quests anything. worst of all they timegated the bosses forms one form each week and it was cut content)
