Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Theodric]

Most people I know want them to look something like this:



Tall, classically handsome and with a muscle slider.

The people who were pushing for them to be very small and child-like are very much a vocal minority. Some of their requests were incredibly creepy, too!

(On that note, now that Yoshi-P has confirmed that child-like Viera will not be added, hopefully the OP is updated to remove the child-like Viera art as it's irrelevant.)

I already said I'm no longer going to edit the OP. Drop it already.

I believe doing so will encourage more people to support to the Viera male cause, so I will continue to advocate as much. You're free to ignore the suggestion, though I'll confess to being a little confused as to why when Yoshi-P has already stated that child-like Viera are thankfully not going to be a thing.

I'm not changing it because too many people keep requesting changes to the OP. I'm not doing it anymore. Stop asking.

How odd. I don't recall seeing many requests for that throughout this thread. A few, yes, though not a huge amount and I've been following this thread from the very start as my contributions so far will no doubt attest.

It was mostly in the beginning, and now just sprinkled throughout this thread. I still get requests like yours. Not happening. Stop. Asking.

It certainly would but several people have barked up this tree before and he always gets really snippy about it.

I like to look at it as proof that the devs are considering things even more; they've clearly been made aware of this thread in some capacity but also to the community's reaction to the idea of childlike Viera and they chose to respond to both things in that release from Yoshida. The original post here now shows that the request may have initially been for something else but it's evolved with time.

I agree on the base point however, it'd be a lot easier to support if it actually reflected what's being requested now instead of being a time capsule from a month ago.

It makes me iffy because it feels like the idea to play as 'children' may have come from this thread. I do remember someone earlier on in the thread who was very much advocating for it using that image as a defence. But that's just me - I've always been against that child image.

Feol are indeed hybrid race - they look 'younger' and live longer, but they're the same height as normal Viera, I think their ears might be a tad smaller though.

In the OP's defence I don't think this thread started that.

It may have been one if the contributing factors for people who visit the forums but for Reddit and discord communities it was already out there.

I agree that editing the original post would be nice from the perspective of garnering new support but based on the aggressive reactions from the OP it likely won't be happening so it's kind of a moot point.

"The whole play as a child" has been around since the game was out. Not a recent development. The bunny people drama probably just was an opportunity for people of that inclination to try and wedge it in there.... again.
