This isn't really accurate. A more accurate statement would be that it's very, very hard, if not impossible, to come into the knowledge of Succor without being directly trained by a Padjal, as they are currently the only known repositories of the knowledge.
Quote:Are there White Mages in Othard? Maybe some traveled there in the past? Are they controlled by a similar group as the Padjal?
Probably not. If anything, it's far more likely that we might run into an old-style White Mage in Ala Mhigo, given that we know that refugees from Amdapor fled into the land that later became Ala Mhigo.
Quote:I've always been kinda miffed that I can't really RP as a White Mage, so I'm sort of wondering if this new land would offer a work-around.
Actually, you absolutely can RP as a White Mage, if you so desire. You just have to come up with a believable story as to why the Padjal would have trained your character in the art, or how you gained access to the knowledge outside of Padjal training. That's it.
You just have to make it believable. You just have to sell, as it were, the story really, really well.
