Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[MrKimper]

Yeah, but what if Yoshida's japing us, and male Viera and female Hrothgar always existed?

I doubt it, it's more likely this is some ploy to drum up excitement for 6.0 with "LOOK! WE'VE LISTENED TO THE COMMUNITY" than anything else.

Oh my god, what actually went on in this thread, the past few pages.



It's not the people who just want to play a child character, because they think it's "cute". A little weird, especially if you are a dude, I think... it's the weirdos who will take advantage of it. Male viera, I personally think it would be weird as hell to have them look like toddlers or preteens, because the females look like adults. If they looked like manlings with ears that would be funny as hell, but it would be fine, as long as they looked like MANlings. A feminine looking male would probably be fine, since apparently in their lore they looked like females for awhile, so even if they grow out of it they would still probably have a similar build to a female since they would probably only slightly mature out of it.

If I had to pick what variant of male I'd want, it would be probably a leaner highlander build. With some soft, some harder faces, and a muscle slider for the people who don't care to have a lot of definition.

omg the mods went to town and deleted a few pages

Yeah, well, the weirdo's shouldn't ruin things for normal people. Regardless, it's not likely we're going to get a hummingway esque male viera anyway. Yoshi P already described them as slim, handsome, and elegant. He also commented on possibly using an elezen base. So if we were to ever get male viera, I'm guessing they will be around the same height as the females. Like you said, the male and female children look the same, so when they mature, the male viera may still have a similar build to the females, minus the obvious female characteristics like their chests.

It seems like the character in this image is female, but I would like this androgynous look for the males, too.

Yeah, that's true. A "few bad apples spoil the bunch" sort of thing, but the severity of what these "bad apples" would be doing.. it really isn't worth it. Not to mention I think an adult/young adult look would make more sense in any context anyway. We already have lalafells which I think are a decent balance, cause they can look cute, and mischievous while still knowing they are adults. I think male lalafells are nicely designed in ff, for that crowd. Like gnomes in WoW.

Speaking of gnomes in WoW I think some popular WoW youtuber, streamer, or something who mained a girl gnome was ironically ousted.

Not just Male Viera, But Female Hrothgar. Please respond SE. Please work on it and give us the other genders

However that is just another race for male similar to some others in game, while with Hrothgar SE will deliver something completely different a gender such as the one you describe we already saw with Miqo-te, Hyur and Elezen, in fact was hoping for something more of a tribal facial feature reference while mature since they are a tribe who survive in the forest, and since the lore describes they survive a harsh ritual before going into their exiled and guardian lives it should be at least athletic.

Found some fanart I really liked on twitter. Wish XIV viera could have kept their more unique features.

Seems I lost a few post i can understand the HOW DARE YOU!! one despite me keeping it as low key as possible but the Teacher one is a bit weird wonder what i said in that that warranted it being removed oh well

moving on nice to see people are still supporting with art pieces

[Kelryth]

You missing the point that the female viera playable character are adults and the lore if not mistaken state that male viera leave when reach the adulthood to live exiled and protect the forest.
Nah the lore state well they multiply also and you not going to leave their village as male viera until you reach adulthood and is just that simple.

The mentioned above assumption you made is just as wrong as your line of though.

To play with the ages you mentioned above you already have your miqo-te or hyur for once let us have more mature adult races.
So am praying for a Male Viera with wrinkles and grey white hair, mature adult and athletic.

Yeah, you've totally missed the point yourself by an AU.



As I stated I do not want to play a child male viera but it wouldn't bother me if square made them.



The playable female viera as adults wouldn't be procreating with child male viera. There is a condition in real life that afflicts 1 in 5,000-10,000 children called Central Precocious Puberty but I doubt male viera kids would have this.


You already have more mature adult races. Let us have young adult races for a change.


My assumption, that people that find playing child characters in games is creepy because they associate kids with sex, is just as valid as the assumption that those who want a younger male Viera are pedophiles wanting them for erotic role play purposes.



Sorry eh!

I like this fanart. Would be cool for the males to look like this.
We know female viera do not have rabbit tails, but I wonder if the males do.
