    How Would Viera Fit In XIVs lore?

    If they were to be exactly like their XII counterparts, they'd be like Gridanians. Viera have a spiritual connection to nature. Unless they are to be placed in a new zone, deeper into the black shroud, I don't see how it's going to work. Though, it's not unreasonable to think that there wouldn't be nature worshippers elsewhere, especially due to the fact that Viera, and Gridania have two major differences. Viera connect to a being similar to the concept or Gaia, which is known as "the green", and Gridanians speak to the elementals. Maybe they'd be placed in a forest somewhere else, but this theme could theoretically clash. The other problem is the extreme lack of males, which parralels to the Miqote. Miqote tribes tend to have more females than men, but not always. Logically speaking I think Yoshi P, and his team have to do Viera one or more of the three ways. 1. They just keep the lore similar, and add a new forest. Likely a jungle version of the shroud. 2. They just make new lore for them. 3. Males and females are equal in number. 4. They are equal in gender ratio for players, but not all Viera civilizations are. 5. They go with the Feol Viera, and have the wood lore omitted, or of ancient origin. Anyway, it's pretty likely that the developers will cave into Viera. People aren't letting it go, and they keep bringing it up. How would you like your Viera?
