Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[SturmChurro]

The lore is actually designed to allow both genders for both races and I'm not sure about what a hemroaphroditic race is but I'm gonna guess u mean it with both genders

That's the trick there are no male vieras. They are like Asari!

Nope. It's stated how male viera we like keeper of the moon miqote, so they exist but are fewer and don't live with females

I would also like them to look like the concept art.

This is kind of off topic from what we were discussing, but it's something I wanted to add to my post since I've been thinking about it.

I think right now, the devs are actually discussing whether to implement male viera or not. Well, not literally right now, but I think in this general time, this is a period where they are making serious considerations and taking in player feedback. Why do I think this? The longer they wait, the worse the consequences will be. What I mean by this is more gear will be coming out, and so they will have to adjust more gear to fit male viera. Especially the headgear. The longer they wait, the more it will pile up. I believe it was said that the dev team began working on female viera near the beginning of heavensward. I'm thinking the dev team, if they come to the decision of adding male viera, will have to make this decision swifty, and begin working on male viera models at the beginning of shadow bringers.

I can't even begin to imagine how many gear pieces this new expansion will introduce. Whether the answer is yes or no, I genuinely believe this is a decision that will have to be made soon.

Hmm I wouldn't really expect male Viera to have headgear if they are released through net expansion, but if they launch them at 6.0 and they also did the hats it'd be a lot of work. Maybe they can just use female Viera's hats but I'm not sure about that.
Also I'm more partidary of believing that they have already made a decision but they want to save it for later so they can make ppl very excited through the live letter

would depend on how far gone they are with female viera head gear
if they figure out a way to fit glasses,head band etc etc on the females it wouldn't be much different on the males but for the sake of cutback work for now and get them out there sure

Well we know that Viera will wear the AF head piece for Dancer. That much we've already seen.

Chances are they will only talk about what to expect in the expansion. If they do mention the opposite genders, then at most they will say is they're aware of the feedback and just repeat what was said in the Mr. Happy interview.

It will be very costly to add a new race or genders. So I won’t say no, but I would not like to set expectations high.

Yeah j agree that they might say that, but perhaps they can manage to release them late on the expansion or they have already startes working on them. At least, if we are going to wait until 6.0 I'd really appreciate to get an official response confirming them since it would make me a lot more comfortable.
I guess we'll see what happens soon enough and I won't set my expectations that high so they don't crash down
