So according to this Gamespot article: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/for.../1100-6442709/
there are several classes restricted to a certain gender. Here is the relevant quote from the above article:
"Roughly half of these playable characters are female. Each of the three factions has four heroes each: one is a man, one is a woman, and two can be played as either man or woman."
Just wondering if this is true? Obviously, we would need a response from someone on the Ubi team, but this is really disappointing, if true.
So we would not be able to play the following class/gender combos:
Female Lawbringer, Female Shugoki, Female Warlord
Male Peacekeeper, Male Nobushi, Male Valkyrie
Anyone else hoping this is just Gamespot making incorrect assumptions? lol

Yeah, the game modes were pretty disappointing too. I would love something that took a bit more time and had multiple stages and objectives. But I think the lack of male/female options for every class actually pisses me off more, somehow, lol.
No female Warlord is just freaking weird...
I am assuming they are running out of time and had to axe the other genders for the newer classes? i really hate that, but hopefully this is something they could work on post release...?

Well the warlord was in the game since the first ever gameplay, he was in the background, so there must be a different reason for this. They have a few months till the release, I would imagine they would have time to model a female variant of armors in this time. So I am wondering some of the choices. But if I had to choose between female/male choice to 6 classes vs add more creative gamemodes, I would choose the gamemodes.Originally Posted by Voidrek Go to original post

Yeah, I assume most people would choose more game modes, but in a perfect world we would get both. Ah well, it would be nice if this was just a big misunderstanding on Gamespot's part, but that is probably too good to be true.
Still, I wonder how much work it would take to create a male/female variant of an existing class as opposed to a brand new class altogether?
This was just a big surprise since the devs have constantly stated that we could choose a male/female version of our characters. I can only assume this ended up on the chopping block due to time constraints. Sucks...lol.

Gender was a question asked at the masterclass directly and the response was very "play who you want, make them as you want" not "half the roster is locked in the gender department".
Gamespot has been wrong before so I wouldn't be surprised if this is all just misinformation. Were it not, I don't see it as a huge deal but a pretty shady move on Ubi's part for conveniently dodging that.

Finally, the truth has been spoken. According to my friend who participated in Tech Test, the game mode was really boring. You may feel excited at first but after a couple days, you will click the refund buttonOriginally Posted by coma987 Go to original post
