Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I thought Yoshi-P said "should we make them have an Elezen body with a Miqo'te face and rabbit ears?" from the Mr. Happy interview.

" Yoshi P: "If we did create a male design for the Viera, he would be quite elegant, handsome, and slim. He would look more like the Elezen race"

He mentioned the Miqo'te face/Elezen body shortly after that line I think.

Naruhodo. All is revealed to me. I feel like that's basically what the female viera are, except it's fran's face.

Eh then again their noses are more distinct.

Not particularly. I'm all for attractive men being posted. I just don't think they need to be posed in an explicit, crude and overly suggestive manner. The same can be said of the women.

It seems to me as though there's a very vocal portion of posters seeking to hijack the race to be something it isn't.

Funny enough and no offense but, a NSFW picture of a Au Ra makes it in the first few posts in reddit, being upvoted by 700+ and people come here telling me some Viera fanart is crude. Sorry what?

A wonder I've had over the weeks since the Hrothgar announcement....

Would the community be temporarily satisfied for a male-only clothing item that is realistic, dyable bunny ears? Considering how people can't even come to a consensus as to what viera men would look like, this would let everyone at least appear as the type of Viera they imagine, and considering at launch viera can't wear most headgear, you're not missing out on that by wearing the ears....

I like many others do want to see the new races completed, but as male viera seem to have the bulk of the requests and outrage, this could be a way to at least offer a temporary solution without having to do as much developer work for creating a new race with new gestures and clothing modeling.

mhhhh for me personally nah, i'd better wait for the real deal tbh... and i don't mind waiting for them. i just would be happy with a confirmation!

I still would like to have male versions of Viera added.

I mean, I'm kind of doing it right now, but the ears looking better wouldn't change much for me. It's a Hyur's face, with Hyur animations, at Hyur height, and Hyur lore. The only thing it would have that would be a "male Viera" is the ears, which, while very trademarked and distinguishing, is still really not all there is to it.

So I looked at one of the Blue Mage threads and noticed it had a good amount of likes (not nearly as much as this one, of course, but still). There doesn't seem to be any indication that they'd change that limited job thing. It kind of puts a small doubt in my mind about the genderlocks. Maybe it's just my inner pessimist talking, but what if the naysayers are right? Would they really end up adding the missing halves?

Eh, there's reason to be more hopeful here than with blue mage, because they've actually addressed though cautionary that they may be added in the future. Yoshida has 100% said already that they have no plans to make blue mage unlimited and won't be looking at feedback until after 5.1 at the latest.

Still I doubt there'll be any official response, maybe at most a stealth add of the missing races for 6.0.
