Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I am sure when we go to Golmore, possibly in 6.0, we’ll get a glimpse. Same with female Hrothgar. This expansion is focused on another world and they probably feel it’s too soon to reveal so much as an NPC.

Very much so - we still have our own realm which is about to get wrecked with chemical warfare... it was a very inopportune time for us to be called away. Even with the Ascians removed after 5.0 - the Empire is still at large.

It doesn’t seem like they’ll be removed, as the Zodiark/Hydaelyn arc wont end by the conclusion of 5.0, but I imagine they will withdraw their control over it and move on to other objectives, especially if it’s already doing what they need it to anyway... possibly led by Zenos.

I dunno if we'll be going to Golmore any time soon, mainly due to lore reasons (also do we really need to have a second Viera tribe to visit? It's bad enough for me that we're going to one). The lore between the Viera on the Source and the Vii on the First is most likely completely different, as I'm sure the Vii are more open to getting help and helping others due to the Sin Eater threat, whereas Viera aren't in any immediate danger (especially as their jungle is probably the safest place from the war taking place on Eorzea) and will probably continue to kill anyone who enters their jungle.

Basically; what we've seen in Orbonne Monastery is all we're gonna see of Golmore. Kinda like with Xelphatol.

Edit: it felt weird not tossing shade on Viera in awhile. Didn't feel like myself.

I talled my FC members about this thread and maybe one person who knows german might translate the male viera info to english. Can't promise tho

Oh I am from german too but not sure if I can make it (or remember it...because cheese brain) but I would be most interested in the Japanese version.

Edit: I took the other part down from my post...not to further start another argument. Hopefully we are over this part again.

What exactly info you are interested in?

Yoshi had stated that Shadowbringers is the end of 80% the ascian storyline and there was a slide during Vegas fan fest that said we’re stopping the Garleans too. I don’t anticipate the entire plot taking place on the First. I can see us going back to finish the fight. If not with an army, we could just defeat the Emperor on his own and the rival political faction could take care of the rest.

That may be a good thing if it ends up that way because it could mean we would be able to visit Garlemald in a future expansion as a city and not a dungeon (looking at you, Ala Mhigo)

Been a while since I posted but here's my image of Male Viera.
Firstly the height is about 155.5cm minimum with a height range of 12cm like their female counterparts.



I made a character with the said minimum height and it kind of looks like this.☟☟ I imagine them as archers, lancers or assassins/ninjas lorewise.



As with the aesthetics, I'd like them to be more masculine than what I made with this, and preferrably more manly looking than a Miqo male.
The muscle mass is about the same as the Muay Thai champion Rambaa Somdet(157cm tall) which I think is as good as it can get.

I have no plans on updating the OP. I would prefer to keep it untouched.

Support (female) Viera thread had 238 pages without them being confirmed for XIV.

Actually, my first viera thread was not for female only. It was for male and female viera.

...

I'm not picky about height as I would be ok with either males being taller than the females, the same height as the females, or shorter than the females. If the males are shorter than the females, I don't think there would be any drastic height differences like au ra though. I do like the idea of having male viera with a muay thai champion body type.

I do not think lore would pose many problems with the implementation of male viera because the warrior of light is an exception - doesn't follow the norms. I don't think we would see a lot of male viera npc, if any.

edit: I think my posts are still "recharging", so I'll respond here

Viera's height difference would be more than half the difference of Male and Female Au Ra though. I think, why not?
I'm hoping for a more flexible height slider so people can be taller than an average female.

I'm not personally against it. If the height difference was like in the picture you posted, I wouldn't be bothered, and I would totally be cool with more flexible height sliders. The only thing I wouldn't like is if the males were extremely taller than the females.

This was actually used with Female Roegadyn as SE probably thought not having a shorter option would lessen the FemRoe playerbase.
They actually have a 28cm slider compared to what I've posted which was 12cm, to match the female's.

Edit:
This is the size difference between Au Ra Males and Females. Note that Miqote male's shortest height are taller than Au Ra female's tallest height.
It's different enough to be noticeable for Viera(in my interpretation), but Au Ra's is like a big smack in the face. Females don't even reach the Male's shoulders!
