Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Lauront]

Seems about right to me.

[Mugear_bahamut]

Right, then make it below that. Problem solved.

Fair enough.

Isn't Steve a bit too muscular compared to the description though? lol Just like most Tekken characters.

Not really, if they're muscular and have zero body fat then they'd actually be more ripped. Steve Fox has about 6 percent body fat. Someone at 0 percent body fat who is muscular is a body that is pure muscle. So, you would see the muscle underneath the skin on both the abdomen, pectorals, biceps and thighs (etc). They are extremely defined.

This is someone with 0 percent body fat. So a male Viera's body is going to be ripped. I would honestly prefer them to be 5-6% body fat, so there's no veins or the sorts and some padding. But seeing how males live hand to mouth and most likely on a high protein diet, it makes sense for them to be at 0.

I've been trying to look for other examples for how male viera would look like.
Maybe something like this, too?




If we're talking elegant, I'm guessing perhaps they will be around the same height as the females.

In practice, I expect they'll add some BF. It's not uncommon for them to exaggerate a bit when discussing concepts, but when it comes to actual design, what looks good will take priority.

My bet is they will be like male au ra but with extremely elegant animations, kinda like how the females have super elegant yet deadly and baddas animations

[Duskane]

Probably not as wide and DBZ as male au ra
Next size down for sure

So, was it really confirmed that male viera models are being worked on? If so, would it take about at least 2 patches down the road to get it ready?

No, it wasn't confirmed. It'll happen if the development team manage to overcome the hurdles in their path but there's no guarantee.

Afraid not, Matsuno the creator of Ivalice and head writer for RtI in ffxiv has been coming up with ideas for them which is hopeful but nothing more than that
