Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I will never understand why people want to repeat the mess up that was the Au'ra height difference...

.. I don't think it was just height with the Au'ra. An Au'ra female who was the same height as the males would STILL look very odd next to them.

Yeah, the difference between them was so outlandish that it's just 'No' - so I'd rather they didn't go anywhere near it where the males will end up looking extremely odd next to the females. I'd honestly find that so very underwhelming. The females are glamour queens, the males should also represent the same elegance and attractiveness that the females have.

I can deal with them being a tad smaller but not to the point where it's cringe-worthy. Though the hilarity is that if they were small, then they'd be small muscle men who are angry all the time and have a harem of women they have to deal with every three years.

Male Viera returning to the villages.

The sad part is, that those who want them small want them cute and male Viera are not cute by lore and description. So someones bound to be overly disappointed.

I don't want a "cute" Male. I want a compact martial artist type of Male. Complete with beards and stuff. U'odh Nunh is in no way "cute".

I should rephrase, most I've seen talking about it wish them to be cute. I suppose the argument is that you wish to them look like that then you should roll a miqote. But, I'm all for them being martial-artist style. Matsuno did say they'd have a martial artist/boxer style body - so who knows. I'm all for them having lovely beards and stubble - I can't see them shaving daily since they're survivalists.

I'd personally settle for them being Hyur Midlander height, if not a tad taller if they were to be smaller. Just not to the point where they're brushing 5'3 - Midlander already looks small compared to everyone else anyway.

I'm fine with them reaching midlander height but I also personally want them to go a bit lower than Miqote. Sliders are a thing, after all.

Is anyone else just going to roll with a female model for now? I'm really loving how this guy looks and I feel that I can comfortably consider him male in headcanon. If you were hoping for a more masculine look, this probably won't do it for you, but it could be a nice holdover on the hope that male Viera models are eventually released.

Yes, although not so much instead of a male model but I've been loving working in the benchmark so much that she really feels right as my femenine version

P.S. I like that toon! very boyish.

From the screenshoted tweet by Matsuno, I kind of envision male viera having a build similar to omega m or this:

Like a boxer, no body fat, and fit. Yoshi P also said slender, handsome, and elegant. So I think omega m or the pic I showed is right around the ballpark, but honestly who knows. Can anyone give me a link to Matsuno's tweet?

Once is a mistake, twice in both directions at least looks like a balanced decision.

No thanks.

Since they're a thing, they can just set the minimum below the females' and you can make yours short. Problem solved.

Yoshi-P also said they would be tall, thankfully. After all, he said they would be like Elezen and they have height on their side!

Perhaps the original post should be updated to include the comments from Yoshi-P and Matsuno?

筋骨隆々だけど体脂肪はかぎりなくゼロに近く、試合前に減量したボクサー的な感じ？　（あしたのジョーの力石のアレ）
大樹の上で寝たりするなど自然と共に生きる狩人。ほぼすべての装備は自作したものばかり（錬金術による薬品含む）。
傍らに幼いヴィエラ♂少年を従者として従えたマスター狩人！

"Muscular but incredibly low-fat(almost 0%), like a boxer that trimmed up before a fight. (Like what Rikiishi did before his fight with Joe)
A hunter that lives with nature like sleeping in treetops. Almost all equipment is made by himself. (Including Alchemic medicine)
A master hunter with a young male Viera alongside him as his pupil!"

Edit:
This is kinda a good example of what I like actually, since Therion(Octopath Traveler) is a short guy, slim, and fit for hunting.
