While there may be Padjal we have yet to meet, the lore doesn't really leave much wiggle room for "unaccounted for" Padjal because the Elementals pick them specifically, it's not really some random thing that happens and no one knows about it.(02-21-2015, 09:51 AM)Hihimi Himi Wrote: One of the things I noticed in various quests is their "Masquerade" as normal, albeit very powerful, conjurers...Probably to put the population's minds at ease.Â
I've been through the WHM story twice and I never got that impression. O.o I thought the general population knew that the Padjal were blessed by Elementals with White Magic.
Also, you mention the horns yourself a bit later, and that's my major question. How is a perpetual child with horns going to masquerade as anything other than Padjal? It's -potentially- possible that less educated populations of Limsa and Ul'dah might not immediately know what she is, but most anyone in Gridania would know a Padjal when they see one.
If you're going to play a Padjal, you may as well play the Warrior of Light as well. You're pretty much afforded the same level of mary sue.
