Garlean Playable Race (?)

[Jandor]

Again, none of this makes much sense in the form of an argument because like, You can play as an Au Ra in ishgard during the story. Which, doesn’t make a whole lot of sense at all but yknow...lore bend. You can play as a duskwight and have your starter city be gridania. Dialogue doesn’t make a lot of sense but yknow....lore bend. The aether thing has already been explained by their people that it is still possible for some to do so. Yoshida gave the lore argument for Male Viera back in ShB yet, look what happened. I understand if y’all say stuff like oh they can’t right now because of the engine. But please, stop trying to use the lore as an excuse. They bend the lore all the time to fit their needs, this wouldn’t be any different. It’s just weird to keep using it as an excuse when there’s multiple instances of things not making sense.

They bend the lore a bit if it is required to meet fan demand, they don't just break it and stamp on the pieces for the sake of half a dozen people.

Dialogue being a bit weird for half a dozen intro quests in Gridania is hardly comparable to hundreds of Garleans freely running about using magic they shouldn't be able to use in the cities they're currently at war with.
