Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Anselmet]

He would also not look too jarring next to the female Viera, and it would visually make sense why the females are the protectors of the village, and how the males are stealthy due to their slightly more lean yet elegant physique.

It's time to have a race where the women are strong and big and the men and small and meek! I'd fantasia to a male viera that looked like that immediately.

I want smol boi bunnies.

If they wanna be lore Accurate.... Make the bunny boys have an omega Body. Slim and lacking of muscles.

To all the people who want buff Bunnymen....They are submissive for a reason if they were ripped then they wouldn’t be second class

Wait, who said they were submissive? Or second class? Just because the ruler of the clan is a matriarch doesn't make them any less 'important' to the society. Keep in mind that females can also become Wood-wardens, not just males. The males just happen to be like 'Jedi/Sith' where they automatically go into the service of it. Kind of like how in some countries men have to serve the in the army - mandatory service.

The males as soon as they hit puberty are trained to be cold-blooded murderers/killers - most of the females are not as they get to decide if they pick up the mantle of a wood warden, lore has it that most of them don't. With that in mind, it's the males that are more than likely the physically stronger of the two - there's just a smaller population of them. And seeing as they're 'outside' of the community it could be hinted that the male wood-wardens who forsake community and clan do not report to the matriarch and instead only respond/submit to the wood. This would explain why they haven't left the wood as of now, constant contact with the wood spirit - not the matriarch.

Also the idea that you want to be a bunny boy because they're submissive and second class to you is rather, errrrrrrrrrmmmmm

Anyway, I like the idea of them being elegant, beautiful, slim and handsome. As long as there is a some sort of muscle/tone slider and the height isn't something that dips to something horrifically small I'll be happy. I'd prefer them to be around the same height as the females however, a tad smaller would also work - even if it means their ears are smaller.

As an add on; if the males were small and 'meek' then it makes no sense that it's the males that are sent out to be the first - and most of the time last line - of defence and not the more abundant female. If anything if the males are extremely rare as well as the 'weaker' gender then it would make sense that they should be the ones in the community being protected by the amazonian females and not vice versa.

I think people mix up something with how a race is being introduced - in this case male Viera being elegant, handsome and slim (while being stealthy assassins inside the jungle) vs. how they would customize their characters to their likings.

Getting a race designed and introduced should be always in a neutral way. Players can design their characters appearance as they please. I dont care if people go dress up as femboy miqote or masculine roedames, players should always have the option to design their character to their likings.

And since we do not have the freedom to choose between different body types, we rely on races to add these. Thats why I dont play bulky races in first place.

edit: grammar, ugh not native engrish - difficult sometimes

Aye, I'm all for neutral - as long as there's a scale I'm happy. But if the race is going to be shoehorned into small and weak looking, then that's something I'm not for. Sounds selfish I know, I should be happy for even getting them in the first place. But ooff, small and weak looking males doesn't scratch that itch for me. Slim, handsome and elegant with the possibility of muscle/tone sliders and height sliders would be perfect for me given that the baseline height or the range is decent enough~

Really getting milage out of that therion huh?

[Duskane]

Yeah I've tried to see in the JP forum with translate but they hardly write in there, If anyone locates their thread could they link it so we can read through it? I've yet to find it.

Everybody seems to be forgetting that they just don't have the time right now to add the other genders. Shit, they're still working on completing the Hrothgar. At least they gave us two playable races, and I'm sure that down the road the other genders will get added just like they did for races in the past. At this point, if you wanted male viera and female hrothgar at release, we would be waiting another year to get Shadowbringers at all. It's not awesome to have to wait for something you're excited for, but if you'd rather not get anything at all that's on you. At least they aren't spitting half-assed, rushed models at us just to appease. Just my two cents on the topic.

Well seeing how even the Viera wont be able to wear head gear from the start, how low quality some of the Ronso faces look (and that is the most important part on that race..), how Viera and Ronso have normal feet and how they seemingly did not have Ronso ready to show at the second fanfest...sounds quite rushed to me.

[Merceus]

I'd be really happy if we could get a definite "Yes, we will do this." sort of statement.

I know that the male-hrothgar and female-viera aren't finished yet, but without the other sex for both, they will never be finished!
