Gender locked race?

[artyport]

preference of normal hands thats all they really changed with Viera,
Just because we saw 1-2 dainty looking faces doesn't mean there isn't a combination of female viera that looks like they get into bar fights nightly and wins.

I still think lore helps imagine what the race should/could be and so far pretty much every playable race has fit the lore besides maybe female Au ra,
Lore definitely doesn't set things in stone but its definitely a huge part of this game and 95% of npcs do work with the lore.

Don't get upset over opinions some people are just over reacting throwing out false claims.

Also side note
Thought attack on titans pretty boring
20 episodes in and zzzzzzzzz

I’m not mad.
I honestly just would rather someone give there opinions about how they hope they look as oppose to tell other people their ideas are invalid.

Moving on I’m very curious about the potential of what hrothgar could be.
If there thing is manes. How do they make manes with work with the current hairstyles. Is there cc really gonna be just be choosing their beards.

Despite my desperate desire for male viera.
I’m also super excited for hrothgar.
I really love seeing how people design their characters

What if Hrothgar was like Duncan from FF6 mixed with Byakko.

These troll posts and attacks on ones person are getting old. Getting to the point where I'm feeling petty and would just go 'you know what, with the way some folks are acting maybe we shouldn't get any.' - killing my hype real bad. But that's petty, and I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Think it's time I give this thread a pause until fanfest and we see who's sobbing and the likes.

For the record; Theodric - I don't think you're trolling in the slightest, your comments are actually pretty interesting to read.

I'm trying to distract myself. I'm not ready for the levels of heartbreak this will (likely) bring

Can we actually address the real question here ?

Will Vieras be able to wear bunny ears from the gold saucer ?

Miqo'te can wear all the attachable ears in the game (fox ears, Cait Sith ears, bunny ears) so I don't see why not.
The bigger question is how they'll look with the bun hairstyle

Am not trolling am actually curious about the male viera appearance although Roegadyn is my favorite male gender race and know no other race will be as good as Roegadyn for male doesn't mean wouldn't like to see other different races.

Diversity is what makes the game good is what sustains one MMO so am on your side when you would like to see male viera in game too.

Won't be playing female viera character if there is no male is not fair is my way of protest, know that my opinion doesn't matter but is still one opinion.

You're not the one that was bothering me either xD I thumbed-upped your previous post. It's those who are jumping the gun assuming that anyone who goes against their opinion is ultimately a 'troll' and out to get them. Instead of having a healthy discussion about it where the cons and pros are discussed; how folks may view that idea to be 'out there' and discuss why and vice versa - instead we get the chat turning into a mess and something that I relate to primary school shenanigans. And of course, I suspect I'm not 'innocent' of it all either, hence why I'm just - 'yeah, time to give this thread a break before I go full DRK'.

When you're using counter arguments that aren't rock solid against a point of a lack of diversity that is proven to anyone who logs into the game do pardon us for feeling attacked.

Elezen may be more on the slender side, but their lanky proportions are odd and they still have a bit of bulk to them. Then as stated by several others, all the females had an injection of waifu put into them(barring roegadyn and lalafell).

So please, do pardon us for being a little less than happy that people are trying to shoot down an honest attempt at diversifying the races with a different body shape.

I think as long as we dont know how the males will look ingame, any wish should be okay. Be it small and skinny or masculine. We cant take art of it for granted seeing how the Au Ra (especially the women..) turned out in the end, so maybe they are like the concept art or maybe they are not. Saying that someone is not wanting Viera at all just because they have a different view on what they would like just creates more arguments and that is not how a discussion should be done, especially about something which we have no facts about.

We know that they are fierce protectors..Xaela woman are also fierce warriors and could be part of tribes that are constantly fighting against others, the males included. So we already have a gender in the game that should not be able to go toe to toe with the males yet they are equal when it comes to power. Also the NPCs dont know much about the male Viera because people die before they see them. Who knows, maybe they are just masters in stealth and thus take out any enemy before they are spottet. This could very well lean into them being not that big or full of muscle. If you take care of the problem before it notices you, you dont need much power.

About using bows: In this game any race can be an archer and any race can handle bows. From the small Lalafells, to big guys. So why should it suddenly be different with Viera? Just because something needs a certain strenght in real life does not mean that it has to be that way in a game.

So maybe lets all just accept that we have different views on how they could be and let others be able to post what they would want. Its not like that post would suddenly influence SE to redesign the race, thus no harm is done.

In the end I just hope that there is no genderlock.
