Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

If you’ll draw one I’ll draw one bud.

I-I'M GONNA TRY!

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.

aaaAAAHH!! Im love him! The nose is wonderful and I really think that's one of the main distinguishing features of viera. The short, high, bunbun nose!

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 some 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.

I agree, in most cases it is a gross simplification of the existing stance and even if it was accurate, people prioritize different things out of the content they currently have and the content to be released. It doesn’t change the fact that there are people that are looking at where the game is going and questioning it, and the lack of male viera can be a part of that.

It's a great piece of art, but I'd rather not see a viera with such a thick torso. Omega m's torso is thin. I think Omega m is a good in between for people who wanted a somewhat more muscular viera, and those who wanted a smaller viera. The viera in the picture you're referring to leaves no room for people who want something thinner. -and besides, I already posted the older fanfest concept art where the viera do appear to have some muscle on them.

However, I do want to point out that I would rather see male viera in whatever form than no viera at all.

Can't wait to see.

They could somewhat give both, depending on how they implement the muscle slider. It would at least help create an illusion of such an effect

Yeah, but muscle sliders don't change the shape of the body. A thick torso will always remain thick, it'll just appear less toned with the slider.

That art is in fact even better than the FATE art and you've linked some art of the skinnier guys anyway. So I don't really see how it "leaves no room" for them. It's not like SE are going to stitch Viera together from everything everyone wants. But up to you.

No one in this thread is saying they're going to quit.

Don't know if you're purposely lying or just not paying attention.

Why are you even back here?!

Because I want to be. Do I need any other reason?

Furthermore, I believe if male viera were to be implemented into the game, they will be based off the elezen model. Female viera are based off of an elezen model, and Yoshi P mentioned the men would look similar to elezen as well. This viera you guys are referring to is less likely to happen for that reason. However, Omega m's body type is more plausible. Why? Because it appears omega m is using a male elezen model as the base. Sure, we could ask the devs to make a male viera from scratch, but why is there a need to do that when an omega m body type looks great? It would also require less work.

Because an omega m body type is within the realm of reality, and because it's a good in-between for buff viera and a smaller viera, what we should do it ask specifically for that.

[Lauront]

I'll be specifically asking for something like the art. The Omega M body is an okay compromise, but not my first choice by a long shot. I also don't care for them being shorter than the femmes.

You're welcome to stay. I haven't been reading any of your posts, but if you want to explain why you don't want to see male viera in the game, go for it.
