So, realistically and logically....

again, lore cna NEVER be a way to limit gameplay, lore should be made to expand it. using lore as a reason to not add something like this is just a cheap excuse, even more if this is just miqo'te race lore all over again, and we know what happened there.

That doesn't make sense. Of course lore can limit things. You don't see carpenters casting Fire IV.

Edit: Also the catboy thing is very different, since the lore it not the same, although some parts are similar. Male viera are at least not nearly as friendly overall and quite possible very hostile.

that's not lore, that's logic and practicality. there's no story specifically written behind why Carpenters can't use Fire IV. the absence of lore is not lore.

i don't even care about male vieras, that's just terrible logic.

It is lore. In no FF game has a CRP just start casting fire on everything nor has male Viera been a playable character or even really seen. It's adds depth to the race as a whole. It gives the female characters story that would not otherwise exist. It is in the lore that males do not reveal themselves to others. You say common sense for Fire IV, but it is also common sense to create a story.

I wouldn't consider him CRP, but if he was, then there would be more justifucation for CRP casting fire IV, then there would be for playable male viera.

A "choice" they make after being taught to be just that.

When they are brainwashed, yes.

Ok I win, you are just getting ridiculous. Brainwashing is not some switch you flip. In fact you you are making the case for people rebelling against this society and leaving for a more tolerant one more compelling.
