Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

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.

Actually, WoL ends up engaging in innuendo and flirted with. One off the top of my head is a miqo'te prostitute who wishes you to engage her services, another is one saying she doesn't mind if you watch her bathe as you're nice looking.
And not going to lie - the idea of something 'childlike' like that having to 'breed' with something like a female Viera that we've seen? Just no. 100x no. NO into oblivion. Screaming at Zodiark no.

I sincerely feel like you're taking something absolutely and totally out of context. We don't even KNOW if the smaller rabbit race is an option for us. Again, if male Viera of Fran's type are supposed to be protectors and more feral, there is no natural reason for the sexual dimorphism to impact them in a way that makes them smaller. And why is this the hill to die on if Lalafells can already engage in the same risky, optional banter? They're not children and no one is actually detailing or providing media of anything sexual for these characters. No one is asking you to think of ANY of these races breeding! Considering that isn't even a function of the game, that really and truly should not impact playability of a gender in a race!

I was responding to what you said; you mentioned the sexual 'activities' or lack thereof and the likes in-game, I responded. with instances where it does indeed happen. I didn't take anything out of context. They look like children to me. While they may be adults in regards to age, to us, out of the game - they look like children. That's the issue. I don't mind if they're smaller. You're assuming I like lalafells engaging in this activity as well. I don't.

Also, I'm pretty sure that's not a feol.

Think we've already mentioned several times that lalafel make a good number of people uncomfortable already. We don't need Questionably Legal 2: Electric Boogaloo.

1. I stand by exactly what I said. The males in that picture look underage.
2. The Feol only have shorter ears and blonde hair.
3. Underage-appearing characters shouldn't be an option on the table at all. We already have the Lalas to deal with, who get dragged up and down the block as it is.
4. There are plenty of sexual themes in this game, many things that I would be incredibly uncomfortable seeing happen to the WOL if they looked like a child. No outright sex =/= child-friendly. Don't play dumb.

Gentle reminder to those replying to this thread with snarky comments, be respectful! The development team works very very hard on this game.

That said, +1 for Male Viera! <3

Hi hi, I joined the forums today just so I could post my support for male Viera. Please let them be accessible, I would love to make a whole new character as a male bunny boy. There's so many opportunities here, I hope the staff hears us out :> Thank you.
