I'm coping real hard here, but could the Collaborator system be our ticket to "playable males" in HI3rd?

Apparently the Part 2 protagonist won't be released as a Valkyrie but rather as a Collaborator (ELF analogue). The Collaborators are the joint partner in the fancy Astral Ring attacks, but they'll also be playable in certain open-world areas on Mars, and if you use the newer main menu mechanic then when you open the menu (aka going to the "bridge") then these Collaborators will stay on the screen, basically doing the same thing as the current system where Valks can appear on the bridge of Hyperion.

If this is the case, then I can imagine that with the Male Dreamseeker being a Collaborator and not a "Valkyrie" nor a special unit like Adam, then perhaps other males (Otto, Welt, Siegfried, Lyle, Raiden Ryoma, Kevin, Kosma, Su, etc.) could also be released as "Collaborators", giving them a limited gameplay role but also letting them be controllable in certain open-world areas and appear on the bridge.

Since past surveys in CN showed that there wasn't support for playable male Valks, then the Collaborator system could be the loophole that lets Mihoyo release male characters as part of a gacha system without making them part of the same core gameplay system that all the Valkyries are a part of.

This also means that perhaps past open-world-ish areas can be updated to allow Collaborators to roam around. This could include St. Freya, Schicksal HQ, the Elysian Realm, New Atra, maybe a future release of the AE Salt Lake City base, and so on.

Well, y'know, something something about the patriarchal man gatekeep gaslight manipulative monopolizing confine the only pure light he ever sees - his innocent sister and the experienced old uncle who looks a bit careless and homeless but is actually very gentle and can only look at the prisoned songbird girl from far away…

Ye I'm normal about them I promise-
