Mini Kingdom Hearts doodles from my sketchbook (Digitally enhanced to make them more aesthetic and less messy). They are small and imperfect, but doing them relaxes me a lot ⭐️
I've further discussed this topic with a friend - if anyone has any further information (please, no headcanons.) feel free to add more to the discussion, but this is what we know so far in lieu of this previous post.
Hi ! Your post picked my curiosity, because I play in French, and I had no memories of G'raha doing menial tasks to earn his Sharlayan citizenship.... Because it doesn't exist in the translation. French translation is usually closer to Japanese than English, so here's what I can translate from his entry (unfortunately Encyclopedia Eorzea haven't been translated, so no information from that)
First part about the history of Corvos and the Miqo'te is basically the same with different wording. Garlemald invaded, the Darnus's family started to investigate what remained of Allag there, so the G tribe decided to send G'raha to the Students of Baldesions.
''The descendants of the Miqo'te made sure to preserve their secret ; they placed under the Student of Baldesions G'raha Tia, the possessor of the knowledge and heir to the eye of blood. This is how this young man got the Sharlayan citizenship overnight. He then studied the ancient Allagan civilization, which earned him the status of Archon of the Stadium.''
Notes :
- I translated that he got his citizenship overnight, but the way it's worded in French implies he just became Sharlayanese, no mention of how he got it precisely.
- The Archons are linked to the Stadium (as they need to present their thesis there), but it's mentioned several times that he didn't study there, out of the Scions only Krile, Alphinaud and Alisaie did. (Maybe Urianger, can't remember, but I know Y'shtola and Thancred didn't.)
Otherwise, from memory, he does mention bullying because of his eye, but I don't think he says from where. The wording seems to imply it was from children in his tribe, but your arguments about how it's illogical stands strong. I could always do a fast NG+ of CT one of these days to find back the bits of dialogues if you wish.
My theory is that the writers forgot the parts about children with odd eyes to be lucky, especially because the bullying has never been mentioned again, so they may try to sweep this like it never happened.
Feel free to ask more questions, or about other pieces of lore in the game, and I'll try to find it and translate! Hope this helped, kinda.
