They may do a head nod to being able to heal or other things like that, but that was a concession to large amounts of player complaints.

The WoWififation of FF14 is upon us. Look upon the future and despair.
...we got a fairly decent amount of lore on both new jobs. Like, we know exactly what we're doing with those, we just didn't get an answer to this specific question.

And consider: maybe the reason we didn't get any information on this is because it doesn't actually matter. Maybe the Avatar isn't any particularly important voidsent, maybe it's just the voidsent equivalent of Greg from that accounting firm a few streets down.

'Unknown but not important' is far from new, after all. I've done every single job quest, and I can tell you that we don't know the previous owners of our crystal for Warrior, Paladin, Gunbreaker, Sage, Monk, Reaper, Bard, Dancer, Summoner, and Red Mage. And we only know of the previous owner for Ninja, we don't actually know anything about him. We never learn anything about those previous owners, and I think we all generally accept that the reason is probably because there's nothing all too worthwhile to tell.

Would you actually feel any different about Reaper if you were told that the voidsent Avatar is just a normal, nothing-special voidsent? Because I think that's the reason we weren't told.
