Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I kinda agree. I like it, but I would want it to be optional. Maybe they can have a chest tuft slider, but also with a yes/no option right above it.

^^^ this right here

I personally would be dissatisfied with such a general announcement, and they would be wrong to release it without more details like at least a time frame. As Yoshida said and we're all aware of it, it's a massive undertaking. They'd need to allocate resources, be it from the team itself or backups SE would allocate, and those things take time to plan out internally, all the more so if they truly will receive outside help. And to get that, it means they need to properly put together all the feedback, all the data from people who already cancelled their preorders and their subscriptions, so they can come to SE higherups and say "look, this is already costing us money, help us fight this".

I should hope we'll get a statement along those lines during April, certainly before ShB itself is released. It would make sense for them to do so because then they can still enjoy some extra orders, be it from people rebuying it or just people who waited until after the Fanfests and now would think it's 'safe' enough to buy.
But anything less than that would be irresponsible of them.

^^^ this right here, I would prefer straightforward information as well with a timeframe or a concluded decision whether they’ll do it or if it’s completely off the table. I’ve held off on buying the preorder for this very reason, because I want to see as a customer how they will handle this.

I’ll most likely buy the expansion, but their answer will determine if I’ll buy the preorder or just the base expansion cheap.

Hnnng I'm getting the itch to sketch no matter how crappy it'd turn out. Imagine how great this thread would be it turned into male viera art-posting too. /HEaVYbREAThING

If you’ll draw one I’ll draw one bud.

No one in this thread is saying they're going to quit. We have been over this. Why are you even back here?!

I'm personally hoping Viera look like this art work by FrischeNq! So much so, I made it my signature!



Elezen are just so stiff, their rectangular shaped bodies don't look very good and make alot of gear look meh imo. They are like... Long Midlanders and their Faces are pointed and not nearly as strong as I would like! Also they have necks for days! Really to me the only similarity between Elezen and Viera would be that they are tall!

I would love for them to be more athletic and masculine looking then Elezen, more elegant!

The OPer should consider adding this one to the OP. It's a pretty popular piece and it captures how I imagine them so well.

Tbh, just dont bother arguing with people. Its not worth it, the arguments just get on repeat and it can get tiring explaining things over and over again. I like the idea to change the topic to Fan Art, so here is my contribution I found on tumblr.

Agree, this type of design should be represented too, and this is a very popular piece not only in the forums.

Yes, hi, pre-order cancelled, not renewing subscription person here.
You guys need to stop acting like people who think this is sexist, or people who are going to unsubscribe, are such blemishes on this debate. People who come in here and bring people like me up as a reason why this request is unreasonable are stawmanning. Stop getting up in arms and trying to fight them off every time they show up here - ignore and move on.
