Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

What I find interesting about this is that Matsuno wrote this lore, yet he wasn't the one denying them to be playable. If that's the case, as a creator he must have already come up with scenarios or situations where this usual 'rule' of their life would change. Unless they're just going to add them and just go "ah, whatever - just use the 'the wood said you had to go' excuse." Which I suppose is better than, 'Just add them in and have it make no sense'.

Beyond this, it does have me cock a brow on how the Viera find this lifestyle to be acceptable to them for so long. Why is the rarer male the one that is fighting, compared to the female who is a lot more common and supposedly can handle themselves just the same? What makes the males more adept that they would actually risk their whole population becoming trashed by shrinking their male numbers to such a degree that their gene pool is shallow enough for a toddler to play in?

How can families let their children do such a thing knowing full well that it's likely they will die? I know it's seen as a sacred honour but still. It does baffle me. How the men can be so indoctrinated to the point none have left the wood - or rather none have been seen to leave... or those that have seen them haven't survived to relay the tale.

Anyway, random curiosity - when male Miqote, femroe and Fhighlander were genderlocked - did the 'blurb' information regarding races on character creation mention them at all? As in, if you picked a female miqote did it talk about the males?
