Why has no Male ever tried to leave the forest.
Why from birth to death has not a single Male has ever deviated from this at all?
Not in the entire time since the sundering?
Why do they not have the freewill to choose?
Who or what is taking their freewill away?
Isn't it bad to take someone's free will away?
Are male Viera okay? Do they need rescue?


Every member of a populace conforming exactly to the culture is more unbelievable then They never leave cus reasons!

We are the WoL we are the exception to every rule, breaking the limits of whats possible, etc.

FF has always been remixing, recycling and reimagining. Why are Viera the one immutable exception to this. Even 14remixed the original FF11 races.
I was gonna ignore this because I was talking to somebody else...but alright.

--They simply haven't. Apparently they take their duty more seriously then the Females. Why? Ask the Creators, not me.
--Why should they? Just because the Females do it doesn't just mean the males will
--I dunno man. But its consistent they they just haven't
--Who said they dont have freewill? Maybe they decided this themselves.
--What freewill is being taken away? Where is it established they don't even have free will?
--Again, what free will is being taken?
--This is silly and not even a point

Thats an opinion you are having. Just because times change and people and other cultures change, doesn't mean everyone and every culture will change with them.
Being the Warrior of light doesn't change the Viera culture, unless there is suddenly a subplot that a Viera WoL changed the minds of the whole culture. Which hasn't been done...yet.
The XI races are different from the XIV Races. Otherwise they literally should have just made it FFXI-2 and just made a continuing story in the same world of Vana'diel instead of Eorzea.
