But since you wanted to pull the lore angle as "Well we all knew", then lets work this out. Lore, in game, stated that male miqote are a lot more rare, yet that was changed for 2.0 for more player options. So that immediately set a soft precedent with handling lore and off sexes. Furthermore every race has had an off sex paired with it. Every single one, since 2.0. So again, there is a soft precedent that if you see a race, it will provide you the off sexes. Then the lore itself doesnt actually make a full load of sense overall for the FFXIV universe. In FF12, the set up for viera made sense cause it was a part of the world building, a small subset of the world that you had some interaction with, and was within a closed 1 player perspective.
Has nothing to do with lore as a singular reason. All of that is your own personal interpretation.

We know who the Viera are and how they are mainly represented...and we knew this well before launch.

We aren't victims of disinformation.
