Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Adding my +1 in support. Female Roe and Male Miquote were added to this game to remove the gender locks. It seems backwards to add gender locks back in. I'm always in support of more options and greater customisation.

Tempering with the lore of your own game is different than tempering with the lore of 4 much older games.

The lore has it that a viera can leave the wood to seek aid from outsiders and the likes if the greenword - the wood - allows it; this is granted if the viera or the wood itself is in danger. The lore is flexible - especially for a WoL who would fit into this.

No one is tempering the lore of those games. Things can work differently in FFXIV if the team so desires. They have the power and control to write something that works in XIV and the older games will remain unchanged.

So no one is tempering with the lore if they decide to temper with the lore huh

Altering the lore in XIV has nothing to do with the lore in any of the other games. The vast majority of the FF series have been mostly one off's with only player suspicion and theories to say otherwise, with only a few exceptions. There's been nothing that solidly states that 14 is canonically based in 12's/tactics universe. For all we know 14's universe is an off-shoot to that of 12 much in the same way that 'The First' is an off-shoot to the main continuity of what we played so far in 14.

We're not talking about the Viera of FFTA/A2/XII/XII:RW. We're talking about the Viera of XIV. ENTIRELY separate from the old games. The Ivalice of Hydaelyn is NOT the Ivalice of those games, so they can change what they wish.

Also, I personally will be a lala until the day this game goes offline, but I have friends interested in playing Male Viera. An option for a male that is not a muscle-jacked roidhead, and canonically a little introverted is a niche that needs filling, and would be a great option for those who feel that way in life, who like to match their RL and in-game personas.

Consider this my +1 for Male Viera

You mean the same lore where FF12 takes place before FFT the opposite to ffxiv? or the lore that its a fantasy world made up by a kid fyi this is Viera's origin a dream made manifest because a child willed it or the lore that has Vassler and Ashe as siblings rather than lovers or Bah'Gamnan being semi good :P

FFXIV changed the lore for a lot of the past Ivalice games why is Viera so Sacred? I want male Viera not to ERP that is the literal furthest from my mind i want to just play as a Male Viera for content just like you like playing as a lalafell/Dwarf
