Chosen guardian no longer has any connection to gameplay anyway so if you dislike it that much just ignore it on the character sheet.
Thats stupid.
Nobody and up identifies under a new religious identity when they travel what?
Oh sure I'll just change my spirituality to fit in, its fun, its cool.
Its just more of the writers not adapting to new races. Your "hometown" as a hrothgar or viera or auri is whatever city you start in, despite being the singular member of your race in all of eorzea, unless you do the warrior, gnb, or white mage questlines.
I really think its more than time the writing of the game reflect the reality of the players and add in a/v/h lore into Eorzea instead of whatever expansion zone they smack them in.
Not of course that it matters, they already sent the bar for MotR into hell by not having Azemya have any miqote traits (unless you wanna be generous and say Byregot resembles a roe) so hooray...more Ascians who are just remodeled hyur and earless elezen, I hope the design team doesnt wear themselves out being creative.
(Also aint it cute that not a single ascian uses the Roe model despite roes having almost nothing separating them from hyurs? Show your bias more guys!)
