Future Races for FFXIV

[Zojha]

Garleans can't be a playable race because they can't use magic.

Or rather, "all but a few" can't. Which equals "some can". Which means they would be a special snowflake if they were playable. And surely, being a special snowflake is completely unheard of as Warrior of Light.

They make it pretty clear that the reason Garleans developed magitek technology is because pure-blooded Garleans cannot manipulate or feel aether. Unless the lore book contradicts it somewhere that I missed on my first read-through.

That's why is put the "all but a few" in quotation marks :P That's from the lore book. The full sentence reads:"Garleans have little inborn ability to manipulate their body's aether, however, and thus the arcane arts have ever eluded all but a few."

They eased up on the "absolute no-go, nada, never" in the book. Apparently, "a few" can use the arcane arts. Probably not enough to sustain an army however.

Seems these contradictions are popping up with increasing regularity. Thank you for pointing it out.
