Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

And of course they always remain loyal to concept art, don't they [looks at Au Ra]

The difference between au ra and viera is that we now know what female viera look like. They appear to be using an elezen base with a face that somewhat resembles miqo'te. Not far off from what Yoshi P was talking about, actually.

Regardless, even though it's still possible to change things in development, what I was pointing out is that Lauront referred to a joke tweet and suggested Matsuno would prefer a highlander physique for male viera. A joke tweet. But when it comes to information and ideas Yoshida straight up gives, the answer I get is "well, things can change in development".
