Garlean Third Eye

[MikkoAkure]

This is incorrect. Per the Encyclopedia Eorzea: "Garleans have little inborn ability to manipulate their body's aether, however, and thus the arcane arts have ever eluded all but a few."

There are pure-blooded Garleans capable of using aether, it is rare but it is possible.

The problem with that quote from the EE is that we haven’t seen any evidence of that from the game itself and the game treats their inability to use magic as absolute.

Nor do pure blooded Garleans only use the elezen model. Cid uses the Highlander model, and several pure blooded Garleans in the Garlemald zone use the midlander model.

The point that poster was trying to get across is that there’s no such thing as a “Garlean” race model. Garleans in the game just take a Midlander or Elezen body and change the ears and put an eye in their forehead. Some like Maxima are still a normal Elezen head that you can make right now. SE would need to create a whole race from scratch in order to make them playable.

Cid uses a unique appearance like the other leaders in the game, but it’s based on a Midlander skeleton. If you copy him in the Halloween event, he does Midlander emotes and he’s super short compared to the “Elezen” Garleans.

Given how Garleans are portrayed, it wouldn't surprise me if anyone discovered that they had the talent, they'd hide it out of fear or shame.
