Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

So I have a theory, I’ve mentioned it before and it COULD happen but then it couldn’t. So during ShB yoship states we will know that male viera exist due to npcs mentioning them. I wonder if we will get more in depth about their appearance. We might find out if they are taller than females, body type, the fur patch, proportions, etc. I’m hoping during this we will get some hints on if they are confirmed or not. I know I’m probably over exaggerating but why would they make more lore, even change the lore on male viera if they weren’t going to be added? Unless it’s just the same thing the dramaturge said.

Very valid points all around. I actually forgot that he said they'll be mentioned in the game/lore in Shadowbringers. This brings interesting possibilities/scenarios/mental visuals. We'll definitely know a lot more about male Viera; whether they talk about appearance or not is a different story though. I really hope they do so that we at least get a mental picture of what they look like, even if it's something hyperbolic like "they're tall as trees and imposing as coeurls. The tree you're standing next to might be a male Viera." Something poetic and exaggerated like that could give hints without being definitive if they want to be mysterious about it. Ultimately I just want them to confirm this look, it's just absolutely perfect and goes hand in hand with Viera's facial look and the clothing is open yet protective, specially the first two; they have that metal protection around the legs Viera are famous for and leather leg wear/upper body wear. This is what you don't see in the other male Viera art, you don't see a full, finished, and detail body:



Usually when they create full body detailed art that ends up being the look

Hmm I'd like to know how male vieras will look, and also how their racial gear will be. I'm hoping is as revealing as the females and is like a loincloth or something, that shows lots of skin but still feels protective and imposing
