And we know from the trailers, not just the main one but the location trailers as well, the Scions are present when one of the Greatwood villages gets the crap kicked out of it; probably by the Imperial Garlean Army units gunning for us. You want to talk lore? It would be lore-breaking in the extreme not to run into any hostile male Viera NPCs if we are responsible for bringing Garlean troops into their homeland and said troops targeting a Viera village.
The lore states that no non-Viera have ever spotted a male Viera.
It's be incredibly lore-breaking if the NPC is talking to a male Viera as he says that.

We don't know what the Rak'tika Greatwood is in relation to the Viera as a race. The current lore only mentions Golmore. It could be a fringe settlement of Viera completely unconnected to those of Golmore.
