    Just a Friendly reminder that Viera and Miqote are 2 different races with 2 different Lores.
    Though some similarities exist, they are 2 different things.
    Plus Viera existed WAY longer then Miqote. So if there is a lore reason, Viera would be the only race that it would be acceptable for.

    But hey, before anybody attacks me, Im not against Male Viera existing as a Playable Race in XIV. I just personally believe there needs to be a good written reason in Lore.
    The Garlameld Threat being 1 possible reason.

    Pardon me for intrusion, but Viera 1st appearance is 2003 and Miqo'te, technically, 2002. Yes, Mithra and Miqo'te aren't the completely same race, but still Miqo'te are based on them (same as Roe based on Galka) so technically our pre-race was born even earlier than Viera.

    Hmm, don't know if we count the Mithra/Galka though, even if they were 'there' the idea that was actual Mi'qote came after - they're different enough that they're not the same race and more of an ancestor of said race. Do Mithra even exist anymore in FF14?

    Mithra Minion in game states that there is speculation among scholars in Eorzea that Mithra were likely the ancestor of Miqo'te.

    Lore purists telling Square Enix they have to keep the original lore intact of content reimagined in later games don't get the point of the FF series. Reimagining stories, places, magic, races, and characters is part of the charm of Final Fantasy.
