Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Allegor]

Only if it's as NPCs and not as potential playable races. If the latter, then it just causes story issues to arise (why and how did someone from the First come to the Source before all this travel stuff became common knowledge to the players character?).

Same as why would Yugiri hide her face in fear Eorzea would freak out at the sight of an Au ra....while talking to an Au ra /shrug

And even though it's non canon, they could use the same excuse as the FFXIV x FFXV crossover did - randomly being spirited away by some portal.

That's a little different. Au Ra exist on the Source. Vii and Ronso do not... but Viera and Hrothgar do. I've already placed a reason on how male Viera could potentially be playable, however it would mean we can never have the Golmore Jungle be a place we can explore (not that we would/could anyway. Again, lore reasons). The how they could be playable then becomes a players decision.

• Born outside of the jungle.
• Managed to survive leaving the jungle.
• Lore shmore I'm a dinosaur.

It also makes things less confusing for new players, who may or may not know that Vii = the Viera of the First (which would also be a spoiler, if they're starting from the beginning and have no idea what a First is).

I think that considering the reason why 20% of the population are catboys is so they can get stronger, there won't be any prolem making male viera playabke
