Male Viera Naming Conventions

[alacruxe]

There has to be some significance around there being 12 names, I think. Given how closely related they are (in the case of Veena) as well as how restrictive, it only makes sense that it defines them along a category that can be split into 12 or 2x6, so... regions, birth months, something like that.

Can't believe I never thought of birth months. That makes so much sense, especially with the Rava set being "split" the way it is. The Eorzean calendar has a similar system with the whole Astral/Umbral thing, so it matches up nicely.

My mind immediately went to 'something something Zodiac' while skipping directly over the birth month step regarding the number, but I agree that it makes a lot of sense.
At this point I'm wondering if they're planning to wait until female Hrothgar are released to put both documents out together...

I would genuinely love to have female Hrothgar names at the same time, but the tiny possibility of them waiting for their release to post male Viera naming conventions is one of my biggest, and probably most ridiculous, fears lol.

People can already play male Viera. They're going to have players want to abide to their lore and flesh out their backstories (myself included) as soon as possible, since they're finally a reality. It'd be less annoying and easier to guess if their surnames actually were the same as female Viera, but they are clearly deliberately different and hold some sort of cultural significance specific to them.

Right now I suppose we can only hope to hear something around the 4th, once the community team returns...

That would be... Distressingly too late, or miraculously early....
