Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I have no problem with Male rabbits, but everyone here hoping for some kind of small rabbits to mirror the aura dimorphism need to realize that it's absurdly unlikely with how they've been described.
If I have to put up with this for 2 years and then the backlash starts AGAIN because everyone is expecting "muh smol fluffy bunnies" I'm going to be very very unhappy.

It's ridiculous, male vieras are supposed to be survivalists who live like Bear Grylls 24/24 and fend off outsiders, but all the catboys here seem to believe they would have been small, feminine boys, they don't want vieras, they don't care about vieras, they only wanted bunny people, as long the race was called viera they weren't going to get their bunny little boys.
I would have been fine adding them, but they should be closer to male au ra.

A thousand times this. If you want something like a Viera, you'll be essentially sticking bunny ears on either a male elezen or au ra.
Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but stop with the 'cut wittle bun bois' crap, please.

I honestly thought the two images where they're cute and small were the 'child' concepts to highlight the fact you can't tell the difference between the two of them until puberty hits. They honestly look like children to me - more so than a lalafel, how is that even possible.

Exactly. Thank you. I am ALL for the first concept art, including the males being shorter than the females but this...??


Those two things are not the same race. At least not at the same stages of sexual maturity. Disgusting.

That's because that's a different type of Viera. Just like Midlanders and Highlanders are different, that's a Feol Viera. It's not the same kind as Fran or the ones we've been teased with so far.

I see nothing anywhere about the Feol Viera having to look like they're underaged infants, either. Just that they're blonde, which this one is not.
We already have gone through enough with the Lalafels. The fact that there are people in this game that want more underage-looking avatars makes me wonder what weirdos I'm sharing space with.

I mean.. that wasn't even the point you were trying to attend to to begin with. You said "Those two things are not the same race. At least not at the same stages of sexual maturity. Disgusting." I pointed out that they are Feol Viera - which may be a standard look for them, especially considering the only official art we have of Feols make them smaller and softer than Fran's type of Viera. If Feols were even on the table, you wouldn't have to roll one. We don't even know if we're getting female Feols though, so that's an entirely different conversation. The Male Viera being asked for, right now, are suitable counterparts to the ACTUALLY announced Viera - not possible ones. It would be a huge leap to assume people are fighting for male Feols right out of the gate.

Additionally, our characters can't have sex or engage in anything sexual, so their sexual maturity is an odd topic to bring up at all.

that's not what a feol viera is.. they aren't shorter, they only have shorter ears.

Visually, they are closely linked with the official Feol art that we do have. Considering there is an equally diminutive female character, it's HIGHLY likely that is Feol sub-race art. Especially when you look at the fact that there is a leaner, taller variation of the male concept art that looks more like Fran's variation. If you take into account that male Viera of Fran's race are said to be more primal, it makes little sense to have the dimorphism impact the males in a way that scales them down. It makes the most sense with the paired smaller rabbbits to be Feol.

Same about 1st concept art. It was amazing: both masculine and a bit "bishonen" in some way so like the golden middle. Not "petite", not "oversized".
As for second concept art I can understand it as "Feol Viera", not as main one. Though, if it will eventually end like this I will not be really against.
