Hear me out.
I'd like to start out by saying that I don't play aramusha so I'm not just looking to spice up my main or anything, but I've always been kind of curious about why the aramusha is gender locked to male. They're supposed to be based off of Ronin, 'samurai who fell from grace' in Ubisoft's own words, however the other two 'proper samurai' in the game, Kensei and Orochi, can both be male and female. Why couldn't the female versions of either turn into an aramusha? If we're going by in-game lore as well, the shinobi and aramusha work together, so they obviously accept females into their ranks.
I can understand the other gender locked classes, I just feel it's a weird inconsistency within the samurai. Any one else feel the same or am I just weird for thinking that.
