Does it really matter if it doesnt follwo Tactics or 12 Lore?

Why cant there just be Male and female Viera in the game. 14 has some elements of other final fantasy lore but tis not 100% copy pasted lore. Theres no real justification at this point to have Viera be female only and males be off somewhere else, and since Yoshi P doesnt like gender locked races (from what I understood, he put male Miqote into the game for ARR), then theres very little likely hood that itll be a gender locked race. Not to be negative about the thread, but why is this even a speculation at this point when we still have 1 fanfest to go and plenty of plausible reasons within the context of ffxiv why we havent seen a male Viera yet outside of silly assumptions like "Oh its gonna be just female cause other FF games"
