Gender locked race?

[artyport]

I feel you’re not grasping my point.

1) you specifically mentioned a high ranking Flames officer performing heroics.

2) I am not saying that to wield a heavier weapon that a lalafell or any of the smaller females must have magic augmentation. After all, the weapons are adjusted to their size. What I am saying is that you cannot discount the role magical gear and materia plays with the heroes. These are used specifically to augment the wielder.

3) The divergent physical and mental evolution of the races is a fact and ties into traits they found advantageous and attractive in their environments. You cannot simply discount these because it’s fantasy - that is awfully poor writing, and SE have never done this. You are taking exceptions and trying to present them as violations of this point when there are better alternative explanations to hand.

I just fought along side some random lala in a fate wielding an axe dropping monsters twice her size.
I just think you are more willing to allow women to be more flexible in fantasy than men.
You have female viera who are describe as strong warriors.. however you dont care that they are walking around mostly nude. BUT MEN oh boy they live alone in the while and they have to be rugged? Come on.. Give me a break.

Alphinaud is technically a child, though. At least by the standards of quite a few countries. He's also stuck in a time bubble that keeps him locked at the age of sixteen no matter how many years pass in the real world.

He has a point, alphinaud is technically a child I think hee's 16? in lore? and yoshida has said previously why the dev team wouldn't make child miqo's playable when requested, because it's uuuh well, I'll let someone else say it.

I forgot to mention job/class traits and powers. Anyway, I shall take a break from the thread until Fanfest as I believe this is becoming cyclical now. Better to return to discuss the matter further once I see what they’re doing.

Agreed! see you folks in a couple of days or so, happy bantering.

If you wish to be petulant about it and fail to be able to separate game mechanics from lore, so be it. You’re not worth engaging any further.

it was an npc... doesnt that count for lore?

Before I leave, this could be cool.

What if they're not dropping hints for hrothgar since they dont TECHNICALLY exist on our shard? They could come from another shard that we'll see in SHB.

I believe that's probable. If the leak about using the tower to travel through, and we milk the lion references from the trailer (kuribu's lore says they are made in the vision of people from another plane).

Would also make sense we haven't heard a lick of them until they've dropped pretty much (as you read in this thread "if they're real where are they, are they going to come out of no where?" evidently that might be a yes lol).
