Popori are animals through and through. Baraka is Male only. Elin Female only. Popori is i believe Male only. Honestly, many others and myself were fine with some of the races in XIV being single gender. To this day we still don't understand why they had to devote resources to "even out" races like it really mattered. Seriously it is stuff like this that drives game developers crazy. Look at Yoshi-P for example, he doesnt want to bring Viera into the game (even though a lot of people want it) because people who like to complain about not having a male or female version of a race will complain about only haveing the choice of Viera female. On another note, why do people really care about something so trivial as this? Your ONE character can do ALL classes/jobs, so what if you can't choose a male version of a Viera or some other single gender race. IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.
tera is probably not the best game to do the compare here....most people who play ffxiv rather not play tera or thought it was not so great (I said most not all) then there are other who like it. I don't think they are really bashing the race just they don't want to see it in a game where it would not make sense seeing there is one furry like animal race where two would ruin the game.
