It's actually the opposite. It shows that they're keeping with established lore because the NPCs in question are culturally misogynist.
Incidentally, there's also another group that is the reverse, where the females are the breadwinners and the men stay in the kitchen
Of course, one should also consider the fact that in this world, being smaller and thinner does not seem to have ANY impact on your physical capability. Male or female, Lalafell tanks can weather brutal strikes just as capably as the burliest Roegadyn, for instance. It's actually a bit odd that any culture would develop a stay-in-the-kitchen attitude toward women - but it is also odd that any culture would marry their horses, and yet there's another Au Ra tribe that does just that. I guess some people are just weird. :PThere is sexism and then there are scientific physical facts, and that fact is demonstrated to the most extreme of levels in this game too. Look at Roe and Au Ra males compared to their women lol. In our world, a male can actually be smaller, shorter or thinner than a female and vice versa. In the world of FFXIV there is no such exception between the genders.
Does Gotesu mention anything to you at all if you're a Samurai? Likewise if you're Red Mage for Alisaie?
Alisaie appears to not notice if you're a Red Mage, she'll mention a miqo'te that trained her in the arts and how she didn't take to normal rapiers but apparently doesn't put two and two together that you're one as well.
No but I beleive during a fight against a group of Lupin near the end of 4.0 there is a dialogue during the battle where the Lupin leader will mention the WoL faught against Samurai before but I am not certain that is based on if the player has SAM or not.
That made me mad, I wanted to smack her and tell her I obviously knew X'hrun as well lol
"Gender difference" is irrelevant, though. The WoL can be a female Lalafell Warrior that single-handedly slays gods.Unfortunately SMN will never get acknowledged outside of their questline since we're supposed to be ''super rare''. Which is really weird considering how tied to allagan history summoners are. We don't even get cinematic screen time when every other class so far has. We can summon this big friggin Bahamut, and no one notices us.

I find it really weird you're trying to invoke "scientific facts" in this, a video game where race and sex are entirely cosmetic, and the whole universe is made out of magic at varying levels of physicality.There is sexism and then there are scientific physical facts, and that fact is demonstrated to the most extreme of levels in this game too.
