As always I look forward to your posts Anonymoose.

We have two path companions who are shamelessly gender biased and making assumptions. What's odd is that a bunch of them refer to the paragon as a "he"/"him" earlier in the very same quest. Almost all of them, in fact. I only listed a few of the nine.

Do we conclude with the majority and assume it is a him? Possibly Urianger?

Or do we take this ambiguity as a sign to leave it alone until they flat out tell us who it is?

Thanks for bringing this one to the table, Hiir. Something tells me it would have thrown a wrench in a discussion someday if we hadn't checked it out XD
I myself am on the Urianger boat, while the Circle of Knowing were watching and waiting on the City States response to the Garlean threat, Urianger was dealing another card. Give the Beastmen more power or show them how to use their current power so they can defend themselves, it's not just 5 Races living in Eorzea, we're all in it together and we all stood to lose everything if the Garleans won. Teach the natives how to defend themselves. But on the other side Louisoix (with knowledge of Urianger's role?) after seeing that the City States would only be as powerful as the Adventurers who showed them loyalty, gave the Adventurers the ability to take out the Primals if they become too much of a threat or a burden on the plans they had of the future. Course thats all blind assumption and trying to give more substance to the story.

All in all, the only one being hinted at being a Paragon is Urianger. He's one busy Archon if he is. But maybe Paragons have a lot to do with the Archons, we do know he knows how to summon things. (dun dun dun Arcanist/Summoner)
