I've said before, viera are absolutely getting roxas hair in 6.2
Will hrothgar? Well...if they can find time in the day to let ears clip instead of constructing a new head model without ears, mayhap. But unlikely.
I really wish they made the neoishgardian hat fit its the best hat design in the game for gods sake.

I always think about how much better mviera would be if they wemt off that one draft art where they had fur and snouts and...muscles.
They were still plenty humanoid but actually looked rabbity instead of middy hyur with silly ears no.7.

I think male viera look amazing as they are. I wouldn't have liked it if they had snouts or were buff.
Besides, if you want something that's buff and has a snout, there's hrothgar lol

I don't know about that. I think Yoshi P mentioned he and his team wanted to include a beastly race into the game as there was a demand for such a race. But there was also a lot of demand for viera as well. While male viera do exist in ffxii lore, only the iconic female viera have ever made an appearance, so the team went with female. It just kinda worked out that way.

The reason only male hrothgar and female viera were released was because including both genders of each race would functionally be the equivalent of creating 4 new races. It was all a matter of work flow. Viera and hrothgar were supposed to be the final races added to the game, so the team had to make a decision - one they thought would make the most amount of people happy. The graphics team did not want to disappoint, and tried to appease both groups of people. (And just for context, there were so many people who wanted to play as viera for many, many years. And there were many players who wanted to play as a beast race for equally just as long.)

Nah male viera are fine, femboy representation is necessary, I just wanted to meme.

All of those look boyish, but not really feminine. At the very least, they don't fill the same ultra feminine Amano look of the earlier FF as well as Male Viera do.

Miqo'te, elezen, and midlander aren't feminine though. Before male viera were a thing, I always thought there was a lack of elegant male options. So I'm glad we got a slim and elegant character model for males.
And I think ffxiv has a decent amount of masculine looking races (male au ra, highlander, roegadyn, hrothgar, and midlander depending on how you customize them)
I don't really consider elezen an option because their proportions are not good in my opinion, and a lot of people think this as well.
