Gender locked race?

Mmk so, the line about going to rabanastre and not seeing anyone in japanese is:
Watashi mo katsute rabanasuta e omomuita koto ga aru ga, dansei vu~iera no sugata o mitsukeru koto wa dekinakatta nē.
Which is interesting because it specifically says not seeing male Viera in Rabanastre. (dansei)

I mean, do you have access to the JP words or are you just going off of what someone else said? I would like to look at them and see if I can put my rudimentary Japanese to the test.

Edit: Gonna see if I can swap my client lol

Good one to look at is the difference between Middyy's quotes; English Middy is a lot more ominous and at first, you couldn't tell if he was going to help or not. Japanese version he wasn't and it was clear he was there to help. Lyse in stormblood has her be more 'blonde syndrome' protag - and comes across as outright flirtatious to WoL in the Japanese versions. Xenos's famous comment after Shinryu is also different. Just points to look at since I don't know Japanese and I'm going off the reported comments from other users who are bilingual. But you can use these points as reference points if you go rewatch some cutscenes~

I'm sure someone here who is also bilingual can chip in on the differences, or those who have also seen the same comments/videos of the translation differences.

Interesting, is the dialogue pretty much exact throughout? o:

Oh you just meant in general the JP is different than localized lol I thought you meant someone pointed out specifically that lore was different. Honestly the kanji was way too crazy for me for the most part so I basically just google translated it all. For the mooost part it's the same concepts, matriarch society, exclusively women in the village and men are out on their own.

This bit in particular might be special:
Shūraku o deta dansei vu~iera wa mori ni gai o nasu mamono, aruiwa ningen o, tetteiteki ni haijo suru tame dake ni ikite iru to ieru.
The male Veira who left the village is a demon or a man who harms the forest.
It can be said that it is just alive to eliminate thoroughly.
Not sure how accurate google translate is there, sounds like leaving the forest is even more damning for males.

Edit: Yeah google sucks at translating, had someone else look at it - It is said that the male Vieras who leave the herd live only to absolutely destroy the monsters which harm the forest, or otherwise the humans who do the same.

Ooof, if that's true then yeah - explains why we won't see males outside of the forest just 'randomly' on their own accord unless they're told to go by a matriarch/the wood itself, green word shenanigans. Makes sense I suppose, they're the first line of defence and most of the time the last needed. And those small numbers means they have to go 'repopulate'. Life as bunboi is rough.

Edit - Ah, so they're just walking, talking, breeding terminators that go rambo on anyone who would hurt the wood. Yerrrp, guess that means whoever started that forest fire is on their 'hit list'.

Plot twist it was a male Viera. Won't that be interesting

ooh.. the wood sent out the male viera because he needed to become the warrior of light in order to save the wood from primals, the garlean empire and ascians.

That can be the backstory you choose for your character. Just remember that SE have never given our characters a backstory, since that's for us to decide.

[cicatriz313]

Lol I mean, that sentence I don't think is in the English script for the dramaturge and it makes male Viera sound pretty BA. I still would prefer something lion looking but at least there's some coolness to them.

Iono man, my character never gave Cid no goggles
