Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Veis_Alveare]

You know, I always felt that whenever I got the newest gear, something else would come out to replace it rather fast. I never really got enough time to bask in my glory. So I don't think it would hurt to slow content down a little so it doesn't feel like a gear treadmill. I mean, it still is, but we get to enjoy what we've earned for a little longer. If slower content meant I would get to play as a male viera, I really would not mind.

I'm very opposed to this. Slowing down an already slow content cycle would spell death for this game. As it is many people unsub between even patches because there isn't enough to do.

This one?

Would really love it if we could get something like this for male viera.

Yes, this is the one! I liked this one paired with the female~ He has the perfect figure, slim/lean but with muscles and the likes. I agree with wanting this body build.

I agree with you. Muscled, but slim. He looks a bit rugged and wild, while remaining lithe. Despite looking a little wild, he has an slim and elegant figure, although the posing in that picture doesn't seem elegant lol. I can see a character like this being stealthy. If male viera ever get added, please consider something like this, devs.

I'm hoping for something like this to be possible with a flexible height and muscle slider:



I would not read too deeply into Yoshi-P's use of 'slim' as such a word has been used to describe playable races with a decent amount of bulk to them. Yet in comparison to Roegadyn and Hrothgar, they still count as 'slim' in the regular use of the word. A muscle/height slider that is fairly drastic would be the best compromise.

If Viera men are ever added, please consider giving them something like the above character's physique, devs!

Ah, a person of culture I see. Steve Fox for Viere poster boy. In all seriousness, I wouldn't mind this - I just want the ability to have some muscle and some height.

I won't even lie. I bought Tekken 7 mostly for the eye candy.

I'll have to check if bunny ears are an option in the game's customisation. I think they are.

[Gwenorai]

Yes, slap some bunny ears on him. Which made me think...

Hey square, why not actually give us Viera looking bunny ears instead of the ones in the saucer? You know, with the actual hair turf at the base and doesn't look like felt or have a random metal piece sticking out? At least then some of us would be able to make do. I think the saucer rabbit ears look tacky, especially when compared to the actual bunny ears the Viera have.

And before folks say 'well, we got two sets of bunny ears why do we need more.' - argument; we've got multiple sets of horn headpieces as well. Heck, I'd even settle for it being a mogstation item as long as its obviously not genderlocked and looks like actual viera ears.

Gives me something while I wait for the aye or nay on if they're actually adding the missing gender or not.

... maybe it's time the XIV team gets a bigger budget and more people (in all spaces like designers, coders and QA), or that I wouldn't mind the patch cycle being every 4/4.5 months (it's already releasing staggered content in .51/.57 patches) since Yoshi-P himself has suggested people take breaks and play other games once in a while.

The bigger budget thing is what strikes me as being relevant. Something YoshiP said in the LL was that the issue wasnt something you could throw money at. I actually disagree. This is one of those situations where more money actually would make a difference. More money = more team members = greater output. The requirements for installing the off sexes of Hrothgar adn Viera is literally a man power issue. They already know the process to update armors and gear to fit a model, so teh time sink is the design side, and the QC side. Both of those are man power issues. This isnt a case where theyre developing a new physics engine or what not. So yeah, more money would help.

[Roda]

So a slightly different type of male Au Ra level of shredded?

Nah, slim any elegant lines all the way to mach the females
If I were to pick a fighting game character physique I'd probably go for Ky '3'

As stated earlier, a muscle slider would make for an excellent compromise. As Lauront's poll revealed, there's a lot of appetite for Viera men to be fairly bulky. The degree in which people desire bulk varies, yet that is precisely why a slider would work well.
