    IDK if it was already posted, but I couldn't see it.


    Yugiri hides her face, only in part because she is Au Ra. The main reason, is because she is a Doman - and the Doman Village was destroyed. The only surviving Domans are the ones who escaped to Eorzea.

    Not true; Yugiri herself states she's wearing her mask because she doesn't want to weird people out, and there are Domans besides her in Eorzea who do not wear masks (the refugees on the boat, the ninja who come to hunt Karasu Redbeak). There are Domans left, but like Ala Mhigo their homeland has been conquered and turned into a Garlean province... it's kind of why Yugiri led the refugees on their exodus in the first place.

    On the Fantasia thing--Wasn't it stated (in a round about way) at fan fest that Fantasia creates an illusion/hallucination for the user (strictly lore-wise, anyway. Obviously other players see the change)? In other words, the NPCs don't react to a race/gender change because they don't see a race/gender change, the user is just living a giant fantasy, or did I misunderstand the explanation? (Which I can not seem to find anymore so i can't double check it). Fantasia is basically purely meta, right?

    I think the only people a logical explanation for race change would be necessary for would be RPers who don't want to completely reboot their character after a race change, but I think generally, they manage to come up with something that's not absolutely outrageous or outlandish.

    If memory serves me right, it's sort of a "your mind makes it real" thing. The PC changes their perception of their physical self, and reality rewrites itself to fit.

    Let's not get into the quantum mechanics of how that would work, OK? It's magic, a wizard did it.

    I've heard that Fantasia was addressed at the Fan Fest, but I've never seen any confirmation of what was exactly stated there, written or in video, just mentions that it was addressed in some form or another. I tend to assume that it's a powerful and rare potion that changes your body and warps people's memories to make it so you always appeared that way to them. Because magic or something.

    At the end of the day, I just prefer the change race explanation (since I already have a back story) over the always an Au'ra, just glamored as a Miqo'te explanation (since that would require a new backs tory and I'm honestly not 100% sure I'll stick to Au'ra.) Although the latter probably makes a bit more sense.

    The Fully body glamour thing could be used still, an assumed form means that you had an assumed identity and were either lying about your true intentions. You can then after the change state your true intentions, be it pretending to be a wandering scholar seeking new lands or allies for your people, but learning that those around you accept those who are different you decide to be fully honest with them. Thus no longer needing the glamour, easiest way is keep out information you wouldn't normally give out, or make vague mention of where you came from originally in your glamoured form.

    Isn't Yugiri a princess or a noble from Doma? Maybe that's why she had to hide her face or something.
