Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Joven]

Don't comment there and they will die quite soon. It's easy. But ye, some people who just want to fight for the sake of fights will write there something. Like yesterday when somebody bumped few shitty threads which were on 4th and 5th page already and were quiet for few days. Because we can't prohibit them to do it.

I don't want to prohibit anyone from posting their opinions just trying to make people see that circular arguments are pointless and making a big fuss like this before the content even comes out or anything even remotely official on the topic is announced is just childish.

Just to be fair, male Miqo'te are not small. Their height is shorter than average for the world though but still is very common, especially for Asian countries. The range is from 160 to 172 cm.

In Europe overall, the average height of a male is 177cm, in Japan the average height of a man is 171, so Miqo bros are not actually not short funny enough.
To compare this the average height of a female in Europe is around 168cm, while the average for a Japanese female is 158cm.

In my country (Denmark) the average height for a Miqo man is short, but that's because my country's average height for men is 180 so my personal perception of "short" starts under 170cm. (5'5")
For a Japanese player the Miqo'te males fall in the average height category and don't come out short if they ran down a street in Tokyo.

So if we have Viera males start at 165cm (5'4") and end at 185cm (6'0") it would enable those who wanna be a tall beanstalk to tower over the Miqo bros, and the ones that want to be cute and small to come out like this.

So if you're a short dude in real life, you can either play options way taller than you or a lalafell, which I find kinda funny.

Heavens, I'm 163 and average/tall for a latino. It's not miqo'tes that are short, everybody else is too <kupo>ing tall...

Eh... I don't know about all this cm crap, (ya wierdos, j/k) but I'm 6 foot even and made my male character 5'10" cause I kinda wish I was shorter in RL... That and I always like the Bruce Lee / Jet Lee persona of a "little guy that kick your butt." I also tend to make all my female charcters around 5'5" which is why I've never played a Elezen or a Roegadyn. Hrothgar are tempting tho... so are Viera. need to see their emotes tho as I'm currently really happy with 80-90% of the Male Miqote poses/emotes.

I play the shortest option for a highlander female, which is really fun - cause she falls into the same height as an average midlander. So I get to have the pretty highlander faces and strong legs but still be a little lady that can kick ass.

But I'd love to be Viera male so I can roleplay as this:

Happy 250, everyone!

Passing through to drop my support, you have the concept art square, stop holding out!

[SWB]

Please please please stop. First we have to deal with gender locked clothes! And now we have gender locked RACES!?

Please recognise players fought for years just to unlock the bunny ears from the golden saucer from being female only! Why would you think after all that having a female only race would make sense. The players already showed you they want male bunnies.

Just let players play soft men, and hard women if they want. Don't limit us to the same big men/petite woman archetypes, especially if you're already announcing this will be the last races to come to 14.

[FeliAiko]

You can already create/play as "soft men" and "hard women" though, if it's that important to players. Let's not act like the so-called cute/waifu type is the only option available.

More options are always good, and just like people are happy to have male Hroths and female Viera to increase their repertoire, people would like to have female Hroths and male Viera for the same reason
Like, when I made one of my alts, it came down to fem Miqo'te and fem Au Ra. And the two were noticably different in ways that mattered to me in how I built the character. Races are more than just the visual archtype
