All the Lore so far (this is still the Lore forum) seems to indicate that nobody anywhere has ever encountered, or will ever encounter, a male Viera. Ever. Almost as if, instead of the "extremely uncommon" argument they tried with the male Miqo'te back in the day, or simply being absent for no good reason like female Higlanders and Roegadyn, they decided to shut us up by simply closing the door even tighter. I hate this kind of argument, but if we take what the Dramaturge says about them, and assume that he'd even say the same thing to a male or female Viera, it's safe to assume, for the moment, that playable male Viera are an impossibility.

Assuming they do create a new single-sex race for the males, all I'm hoping is that they don't deviate too far aesthetically. Something with a similar lithe build and its own touch of beastiness would be nice. Lots of people suspect a Ronso derivative, but I think there's not enough room on Hydaelyn for two cat races. I might actually use one of the free gift fantasia I've had since 2.0 if we got sexy wolf boys instead, but that probably won't happen with Lupin already roaming about as an NPC race.
