Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I would play as a bunny version of Ky Kiske...(I love GG)

He said more money or staff wasn't the issue. It was a QA and bugging issue. From what I understand, you disagree with Yoshida on this point?

It seems like the main concern is if male viera is being worked on, patches would come out slower. For those of us who would not be bothered by slower patches, we should voice this opinion in this thread. To anyone reading this, simply say slower patches will not bother you if it meant male viera and female hrothgar will get implemented so the forum staff can relay this feedback.

Senn explained why and this is the image that I liked paired with the female Viera, edited by Senn.

I actually really liked this idea the most in regards to male Viera body type. Not too bulky, and not too frail. The perfect body type for a sneaky assassin of the forest. Just so long as they don't end up with weird posture and animations like male Miqotes unfortunately got stuck with.

If added, I think male viera would have a somewhat elegant posture. Or maybe elegant/cool. Viera tend to give off that vibe. They don't necessarily come offf haughty like elezen.

3.5 month patch cycle is already way too long. A lot more players will quit if 5 month content droughts are a thing.

Slower patches most definitely would not bother me. I think the quality of the content is suffering due to the 3 month patch releases, which effects far more than just races and genderlocks in my opinion. I feel slower patches would be more beneficial for the game and the devs as a whole.

I strongly disagree with the idea to delay content solely for the sake of Viera men and Hrothgar women. I want to see them added to the game, though not at the cost of content. If the content cycle is to be adjusted then it needs to be adjusted in a way that brings us more than just the missing gender combinations.

What about 4 month patch cycles? Perhaps we could compromise? That .5 month could make all the difference over time, and it would go back to normal once male viera and female hrothgar are done.

I would absolutely be willing to have less eureka type updates if it meant finishing these races.

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.

A slider only works as a texture, there's no actual bulk being added or subtracted.
And I'd rather the cohesiveness of the design not be focus tested into oblivion like the au ra's was.
Players who want bulk have highlanders, au ra, and roes, players who want to be long and lithe have... the weirdly proportioned, super angular elezen. The design niches aren't exactly balanced or even filled if someone wants a softer but still athletic lanky male character.

Omg, I wouldn't mind if they never gave us another Eureka ever again, even if they didn't give us male Viera. Eureka was a mistake. lol
