Actually they have been rewritten slightly leaving the forest no longer seems to make you an outcast to be shunned and i believe this was done to allow people to play Viera without fear they would be ostracized when we go to the Greatwood in 5.0 we also got way more lore on the males than any other game involving Viera, there is also the omission of the Foel Viera but given FF12:RW wiped them out no changes there if they aren't around.
