Quoted from the Fanfest lore panel.
They haven't told us what those are yet, nor if anyone has ever been successful (Which I'm assuming not because they said there's only one WHM). Until they do that's moot because people can just invent a bunch of stuff and be completely wrong.
Just like we know Blue Mage is a FF class but we have no idea if it will ever appear in FFXIV. So some people don't think you should play it at all because you'll get the lore wrong, but people were trying anyway.. only later to learn that the devs said BLU probably won't even be IN THE GAME
Well, I was originally responding to your post that said it wasn't up for interpretation. But I figure there is a lot to be able to interpret. All we were given as descriptions for the playable races were a couple of paragraphs and some naming conventions. RPers are constantly filling in the gaps of the lore. Half of the miqo'te lore on this website is based on educated guesses and speculation. We don't know anything at all about Au Ra but people are still creating them. We know very little about Doma except that is an Asian parallel but people still RP them.Â
If we could only RP exactly what is confirmed to exist in the lore, there wouldn't be a lot to RP. My character is a roegadyn but I don't know anything about their culture or their customs or their physiology.Â
If you cannot rp anything not in the lore then I suppose no one could rp a tribal miqo'te not in the U tribe. I only remember seeing the U tribe. Lore could say that certain tribes died off long ago. Etc. It seems to me it is easy to pick and choose what is okay and not okay. I suppose it has something to do with power or presumed snowflakiness. But is a White Mage really any more powerful than a paladin or a summoner? They're all epic.Â
RPers agree and disagree constantly. Lore is always being debated in rp communities. Everyone has a different viewpoint, different tolerances, different things they like, different interpretations...aren't these threads proof of that?
