Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I agree with you there. Not making male Viera kid-like would be great. I'd feel very awkward playing a male Viera that looked like that second picture.

Best option would be to not make a Feol Viera then, if we even get them. They're entirely different from what we've been shown so far - just like the miqote races are different.

There is a fundamental difference between the Feol and the Viera. Take this explanation:


Nowhere in this explanation does it say that male and female Feol look like children. That second picture on the first page looks like a child. That is what people are getting at.

Your argument for the Miqo'te races is also that they are different. That is true, but literally the only differences in appearance are tendencies toward darker colors and their eyes.

Think of it like this: If male Viera were midlander Hyur built, male Feol would likely be Miqo'te built. And keep in mind that the pictures you see above is comparing a GIANT Viera (have you seen how tall Fran is in-game?) to a smaller Feol, who is probably still the height of a midlander male. If they're supposed to be smaller and "cuter," there are ways to do that. Look how cute you can make a male Miqo. They don't look like children.
