Gender locked race?

Aye; the issue I have with this chap is that he's certainly not the authority on Viera - sure he knows the information but that's that.

Well, he kind of is...

The character in question is the stand in for the guy who is responsible for Ivalice and he's famous for telling stories that have depth and fit together very smoothly. His words carry immense weight no matter the form they take where Ivalice is concerned...especially if he agrees with Yoshi-P or simply doesn't want to see Viera men show up for some other reason.

Maybe he simply doesn't want the dispel the mystery surrounding them?

Aye, I know who he's based off of. xD The issue right now is the character is portrayed as not being the authority as only those who pay attention actually know who this guy is. If we take his words for the weight that they have then people should also take into consideration that he talks in past tense and has implied that things have changed considerably. Like how a Viera leaving their home is no longer seen as an outcast. A sign that WoL Viera won't be looked at in a foul light once they return to the wood.

As for him not seeing them; that's down to his past adventuring and seeking of information - that has also changed since he's been part of the company now with his elegant wifu. So, back then when he was adventuring? Of course, now? Things have changed at least for the females. The males are a mystery which can be taken both ways by his words.


To me, it sounded like they were going to introduce them. After years of no sign of them and only lore - that's a huge leap for all fans who enjoyed the Ivalice games, not just FF14. I'm not excited, and my hopes are tamed, but I like to think that we're not going to go into the gender locked route.
