It's actually pretty natural for a Viera thread to have 725+ pages.
Support (female) Viera thread had 238 pages without them being confirmed for XIV.

Now that Viera exists in XIV it's not a matter of whether (male) Viera could ever exist in XIV, it's a matter of in what fashion could they exist. The hype doubled because we have female Viera already. Hopefully Community mangers look at the likes and and the fervor and passion for male Viera.
