It may not be explicitely stated, but expected among players, particularly if there is a soft precedent for it already in the game. Which is also why some of the hype happened the way it did. Again, they showed female viera, played footsy about whether we would get male viera (which would be a FF First and be huge news in general for the franchise as a whole, not just the game) and didnt say nah to it. Fans ran with it cause it wasnt a huge jump to expect it.

Now maybe people did get out over their skis on this, but you shouldnt sit there and call them unrealistic for what they expected.
Its unrealistic when you know what is coming (as we did) yet expect something totally different (as people are doing) and then take the position of not being given said knowledge in the first place.
