Gender locked race?

Who is this? Of course, I'm talking about the hooded fellow. At first, I thought they were an ascian with the hood, but looking closer the design doesn't match. Then I looked at the arms and the tattoos/bandages/scales - they actually remind me of Viera style clothing, or specifically, the male Viera concept art; the males have these type of things on their arms/wrists? Especially the bandages. The arms look 'male' to me, something about the physiology - the thickness. Especially when compared to female official FF14 art. Then there's the nose...the nose looks like a Viera's nose, small button top like. Then there's the marking on the face/neck - it looks unkempt? At first, I thought it was scarring or something of the sorts, but it also looks like fur? It also looks like they do actually have a scar going from the nose to their cheek, a slash mark like an animal clawed them.

You do have a blooming fantasy and while I do not critize it, I doubt a male Viera has anything to do with the expansions box artwork. I do believe its the Emet-Selch, the ascian that has yet to be revealed.

What if that Ascian's vessel is a male Viera? The two are not mutually exclusive.
