Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I'd be fine with that, that would visually be pretty adorable and not look too morphed. (would also give them more of a stealthy advantage over the females)

I have no idea what is adorable in this, Because that's how it gonna look:

Just look, where is her head.

I meant I agreed to your suggestion of the males being 180-190 bud.

ah okay then. Becuase I feel "WUT" when I look at this height example.

I'd actually like to point out Yotsuyu.

Yotsuyu's fate and the story that led her there absolutely broke my heart, and will probably be a sore point for me for a long time, but I fail to see how that has anything to do with wanting male Viera added into the game?

Personally, my goal is just to get male Viera added, 100%, and to that end I'm open to basically any bodytype that could be considered a reasonable match to female Viera; meaning, given that female Viera are beautiful and relatively civilized in appearance, with minimal animalistic features, the males ought to be similarly attractive and civilized, with any animalistic features kept to the same level as females are able to display. The sort of nonsense that produces a huge, grizzly looking monster as the 'male counterpart' to a green, but otherwise human-looking woman needs to die out. That has nothing to do with it being 2019 and everything to do with that sort of design sense having always been in utterly poor taste.

That said, my preference leans toward making the males shorter and cuter than the females, to balance the scales (no pun intended) after Au Ra. Quite frankly, if it's okay and not 'creepy' for female Au Ra to be such tiny waifs compared to the huge and intimidating-looking males that they barely look like the same race, then the reverse is also fine and not creepy at all! Double standards are silly.

Something slim and elegant along similar lines to Elezen would be a close second choice, however! Nix the elongated effect Elezen have and give them a little bit more muscle without making them bulky, and you'd be golden in my book.

It does seem that most of the arguing over this stems from the sad fact that we have entire races restricted to one body-type, though? I wonder how feasible it would be to allow for limited body-type customization by allowing players to select, for example, a male Highlander-style physique when making a Miqo'te? All the gear in the game is already modeled to fit a male Highlander body, so that shouldn't be an issue? Sliders would cause the servers to spontaneously combust, but surely a little mix-and-matching using existing assets couldn't be too taxing?

Anyway, I have cancelled my sub, though I've got over a month of playtime left, so I'll be around for a while yet. I really don't want to lose my house or FC, so I'm hoping SE sees sense and makes a statement that they'll be adding the locked genders in the future, before my time runs out; if I lose my house it's likely to kill any interest I'd have in returning to the game. I'd even be perfectly content with a time-frame like 'some time in 5.XX' or 'at 6.0 release', as long as they 100% confirm that they plan to do it!

To be honest it does look hilarious, it reminds me of the picture of the mountain and his smol wife lmao

I don't know if people realize this about male Elezens bc we aren't widely played, but we are actually quite muscular. Slim waist but we do have quite a bit of muscle definition in our models.

That IS rather less noodly than I remember them being. That level of definition would be lovely for Viera.

I just hope they wont be as stiff as them, and the arms could also get more muscles. Also the small head is rather, ugh. I think there will be a bit of difference to Elezen - atleast thats what i hope about our stealthy, dextrous jungle assassins. And if they are a bit smaller, they might make actually a great body contrasts to existing races (male Miqote are rather athletic)
