    Valorplate dependent gender 
  • Why does Orin's gender change depending on what Valorplate he wears? Are all Valorians like that? Is it the armors themselves? How do they cope with this?
    • I think it's a matter of Gameplay Story Segregation because the "main" Valorian seems to be Silvermane. It's a similar situation with Warframe. Also, I haven't found any lore to support that switching Valorplates means switching genders.
    • It is possible that being able to switch Valorplate requires someone to be genderfluid. It is worth noting that all of the entries in the Codex regarding Orin avoid assigning them any gender and use gender-neutral terms. We also know that there is an organic body somewhere in the Valorplate, as Orin is described as being injured at the start of the game. On the other hand, Macros is also described with masculine terms (including "brother"). It is possible that the voice shift is just a quirk of Valorplate.
    • The Ultimate Edition has some additional dialogue between Ravenna and Soras where they state Orin is also the only one who can use all the Valorplates. The reason behind this isn't delved into, however.
