If a male Miqo'te or a Xaela from the Steppe can find themself as a adventurer in Eorzea, why shouldn't a Viera man be capable of it? Lore and it's traditions have never really applied to the protag of this game - and I mean this in a positive way. It's empowering to see anyone can be the hero. And it's empowering to let players choose how they look. Not to mention it makes for a whole lot of fun while playing....
What's the lore behind them never leaving? What compels them from puberty to old age to never even think about leaving?

Are they indoctrinated in some nefarious scheme? Do they hunt down their own if the ever try to escape? Is it a spell or some magic that binds them? Do they all just think alike and aren't individuals at all?

To me alot of the reasons that would keep them all, every single last Male without deviation, without question would have some form of less then noble origin in my eyes. If they aren't individual's at all but more feral beings who only really act on instinct then that's the whole men are beasts woman are breasts dichotomy that's really gross. (And you can't say it wouldn't because the Vieira reveal video was nearly soft core in its sexy bunnies ladies running around in their underwear.)

Where is their freewill? If they don't have freewill then who or what is taking it? Isn't generally seen as bad to strip people of their freewill?
