Garlean Playable Race (?)

[SannaR]

You have to separate game play and the things the game has to allow for it to game from what the lore says. The whole reason you see way more cat boies and a few running around with Nuhn as their last name is because the game allows it. Same with all of the other races and jobs that shouldn't have so many or more than one.

In your play through the msq and the job/class quests only you are the exception. The fact that some of you don't want to see that split or accept it as a split shows how much you rely on it as a crutch for your argument for wanting it.

Miqote are fairly common in Eorzea and 1 in 10 of them are male, it'd be weirder if we didn't see cat boys running about. Moon cat fellas are out making a name for themselves to impress the moon ladies, and Sun cat fellas are out getting stronger so they can lead their own cat girl harem one day, both perfectly logical excuses for why they're so over-represented in the adventurer job market.

It's far easier to stretch plausibility for seeing Miqote men hanging about everywhere than it for seeing Garleans chilling on every street corner. You could argue they've pushed up against the lore a little bit for things that were in very high demand, but that's not a particularly good reason to just plow straight through it, especially for something that doesn't really seem all that popular anyway.

I went and did some looking. Perhaps she did at one point in time, but now she just stays on the sideline the whole time, untargetable, issuing orders, never participating in combat. Conjurer Temple Knights spawn on top of her a lot though, and they do sometimes start out casting cure on other temple knights.

In the Grand Melee when she becomes the target of The Fury's Gaze or whatever, she uses an Aqua Vitae, and then runs off, shouts, "Fury Protect Me!" and then uses Rampart.

She definitely used cure at one point, if it was edited out then I think that makes it fairly obvious where the team stands on magic using Garleans.

Sure, it's easy to explain that. Yet many pro Garleans as a race people use the whole "Well I saw 50 moon cat boys, 12 Bunny girls and 30 whms when I logged into Limsa." as something that we all know only happens because the game has to allow everyone to play what they want to play as instead of forcing everyone to choose something else the lore wouldn't allow.

It's a bit selfish to go and use everyone else's character as a lore break or bend to try and justify one's reasoning behind why the devs should allow something to be put into the game.
