Male Viera (BunBros) - We Want Them - With Heels!

[Cilia]

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.

(Maybe) lessening the stigma of leaving the village / forest and explaining what male Viera do with their lives isn't particularly significant.

They're still the exact same people from the exact same locale in the exact same region they are in Ivalice, with the exact same social structure and the exact same clans and the exact same attitude toward outsiders. They are the exact same people from Ivalice - just like people wanted. If that leads to the males being unplayable, well... careful what'cha wish for, I guess.

I still don't think that's the case, but whatevs...

It may seem like a small change but it actually has much bigger implications, Fran in ff12 was upset she couldn't hear the word of the forest anymore

its the most emotional Fran gets in the entire game willingly and its because she fears she has been abandoned by her very home something no Viera in ffxiv post Garlemald occupation seems to have to worry about that anymore.

Another implication is when you change 1 society law it calls into question other ones look at Ishgard for evidence bringing to light the dragonsong war also called into question everything the schlosticate had been teaching causing muggings/threats on their students so its not impossible for Viera mothers to then go why should i send my son away to most likely die alone when it is now ok for me to leave and return to the forest.

The biggest change between ff12 Viera and ffxiv Viera is the empire in their respective games ffxiv Viera are forced to interact more with other races this absolutely will change how they start to view things within their society it always starts off small but the snowball effect will kick in.
