Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

It's also possible that something was lost in translation or that it could change at some point during the development cycle. As Lauront's poll revealed, there's plenty of appetite for tall and well-built Viera men. That could very well sway the development team between the present day and the actual implementation. Assuming they're even added to begin with, of course.

Pretty much what I was going to say all we have is one interview that could have been lost in translation and no official statement, better wait until they make an announcement.

well-built Viera men

The issue is that different people understand "well-built" in different way. Somebody will think about Highlander body type (who are actually bulky), somebody will think about Miqo'te body type (who are noticeably athletic).

...

I don't think a poll or player requests for a certain body type would sway the dev team to do anything. Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's likely. Yoshida already has a vision for what male viera would look like. It seems like if male viera were to ever be implemented, the devs already have a general idea for their appearance. It will probably be a fitting counterpart to the females.

Like I already said, I'm not just saying this because of my own preferences. It's literally what Yoshida has said, and it's shown in the concept art. At the very least, I can point to things that have been said by the producer himself, or even the concept art. Even if there's a chance things can change in development, it's better than having nothing to point at. Going off solely what has been said by Yoshida and the concept art, male viera will most likely be slim in build.

I do support having a variety of face options and muscle sliders. However, I have this to say to the people who want buff viera; I honestly don't think it's going to happen for you. At the very least, not with the information we have been given at this current point in time.

[Quipsy]

Not just elegant and handsome. Elegant, handsome, and slim. Emphasis on slim. All these descriptors combined lead me to believe male viera will look bishounen.
On top of the fact Yoshida mentioned how they may have implemented male viera - elezen base with miqo'te face. Also on top of the fact that the concept art itself doesn't show male viera as overly buff.

However, I understand what you're saying. Or at least I think I understand what you're saying. At the very least, you want a gruff face option for male viera. I support having a variety of face options for sure.

Yup! That's basically what I'm after. XD It doesn't even need to be "gruff" really, just older and more refined looking with stronger features--bishounen are "beautiful boys" who become "biseinen", which are beautiful men, after all. This is perhaps more on-the-mark for a straight-up bishounen with the same look, which is just fine since scars are a common enough customization option. (Of note is that example also has a slim yet athletic body, not too far removed from what an elezen has.)

[Duskane]

i did mention 4 faces before these are the ones i guess they would use
i don't think this thread has shown of the 2 on the left (or i missed it) so figure i put it into one picture .

[Senn]

...

I could see male viera having these as face options.

[zeylos]

Reasonable. While I'm not a fan of them personally as long as this is the attitude people take on it I can at least not oppose their implementation.

No kid Viera, that's all I can ask at this point. Anyone who can say they definitively want their male Viera to look like adult men take my begrudging support.

I find it extremely amusing on how u ppl are like 'But male viera is only for ERP!'
Then u must be extremely mad about female viera.
I also recommend u not to search Hrotgar on google when they are released unless you want 90% of the pages to be for either ERP or erotic manga about male hrotgar

[Nestama]

The person you're quoting literally said they'll begrudgingly support the addition of male Viera... so long as they're not children, of course.

[Halivel]

If there ever will be a "children look" race, at least both genders should look like this, not one. But I highly doubt it ever will be a thing really. Though I would like to play as Padjali, for example, it can be very interesting storywise (mostly from RP side "why did a Padjal left the forest").
