Gender locked race?

[Gwenorai]

I honestly think that second Viera, the smaller type? Is Feol Viera and they are certainly adorable as all heck. This makes a lot of sense to me actually. The other distinct clans of Viera Rava and Veena don't have that many differences in appearances and share the same customs. In fact, if I recall the difference in appearance is hair colour and maybe a small change in ear speckles? There may be more, but certainly not enough to have two clans. Or the Feol looking Viera are actually just kits? What we do know about the Feol Viera is that they are not held under the same Lore - and males exist with the females.

I do find it unlikely though, but hey, I find another playable lion-like race unlikely. Lupin seems more plausible to me than another feline.

Regarding the whole lion however;-

• None of the leakers would reveal a name only a very scarce description which hardly could count as a description.
• Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of Lions; is basically the story for which the 24man was based on. With Ramza and Ultima.
• Squalls Gunblade; Lion Insignia
• The Elite Bluemage sect; is called 'Immortal Lions'. They are tied into the original source of Blue Magic.
• Trailer revealing the gunbreaker with Thancred is vs a Lion.

If they were guessing it could be that all of these 'hints' could have been what alerted them to it. Or maybe these are the hints we should have been looking at. Either way, guess we shall see won't we.
