Viera males should be smaller like Au Ra females

[manickitty]

so you don‘t find it questionable putting a 13 year old boy in lingerie. because it‘s not real life right? it‘s just fantasy, that makes it totally right, where talking fish and turtles exist, everything else should be possible too!

and yes i said that, because people were comparing alphinaud (13/14 years old looking) to a female au ra (16-26 years looking)

Alohinaud does not look 13 or 14. And l
Height is moot considering adult lala are even shorter than he is.

I’ll thank you to not put words in my mouth. Just because you are incapable of seeing a short person as anything but a 14-year old doesn’t mean that the rest of us are.

Wow. Knowing why people want male Vieras makes me pray that male Viera never gets released or they just quickly reskin a Roe model and call it a day.

My ideal viera Male is one with the body of that mature viera look, but about a head shorter than the females when both of their height sliders are at the same percentage. ❤

Right? I'm baffled by all the people who don't seem to be able to see short, slender people as anything but children. If we can accept Lalas as grown adults we can surely accept short dudes with bunny ears as adults?

If we're only getting one size option, I would love for it to be modeled after this:

I've never liked the sexual dimorphism that we have with the Au Ra, and I'd strongly prefer to not have it with the bunnies as well. I don't think the small males would fit with the female version we are getting. Also, I just want some eye candy, and I love me the slender/strong type

Now, if by some miracle we are getting two distinct clans (like mid/highlanders), I'd be totally fine with a cutesy/smaller version for both being added there.

Lmao, wild how many posts here and in related threads look like they'd fit right in on a NAMBLA message board.

I ... just don't see SE making them smaller then Au ra cause that's never been a thing they do. So expecting them to do it is setting yourself up for extreme failure.

The aftermath of Tokyo Fanfest shows the great community don't need anything to set themselves up for failure.

Is Alphinaud really that much shorter than a min. height Midlander/Miqote male though? I don't get why people are freaking out over people wanting to play as a character that size. He's literally 16 (maybe 17 now?) in the story. People can already easily make female characters that look 16, especially miqote and au ra females.

EDIT: And furthermore... we literally have a race of people designed to look like grade school children. It says so in the ARR artbook that that's what they were modelled after. So somehow we're able to get away with that... but young looking male characters would be going too far somehow? I really don't get it.

Yeah and have you heard why the r/FFXIV Discord lost partnership status?

Willing to bet some people here have the reason why on their hard drive.

Oh crap, I forgot about the r/FFXIV discord situation. Yeah, hard pass - nope.

Honestly coming back to this and doing the latest main scenario - there's already a body type around that they're most likely going to use. It's obviously the Elezen model - Nero and Maxima are using it - and without the stupidly long neck, it actually looks good. Slap on a muscle scale and a decent height scale and wham.

Per Wandering Dramaturge text, there is no sexual dimorphism in Viera. Men and women can't be differentiated at all until adulthood.

You guys put way to much energy in this. Beside we do get multiple preset of faces, im sure people will make Viera either young/old/masculine/feminine like any other male race.
The only thing left is the body type and I actually just want to Yasumi Matsuno's version of male Viera.
Beside I do wonder if it wouldnt be weird if male Viera looked like teens that would be ready to mate with a female Viera for... well descendents. (Though I wouldnt want them to be buff either...) qq the artwork looked fine to me.

personally i will have found nice and fun to have muscular viera man, after all they live in the jungle alone or small group of 2... i imagine them like some killer bunny man covered in scar that fight to death all the time with beast we don't want to get close.... because people that did play FF12 remember what type of monster live in golmorre jungle? Coeurl, morbol and such. not a easy place to live into...
