Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

With blonde it at least had sense - originally Viera are white-haired, other colors they get if they actually dye them. I'm not sure if it works in same way for FFXIV Vieras, though.


And well, tbh, I think that if they are going to make counterparts, they will just announce them on FanFests without talking about them anywhere outside of it. But we will see.

It's not the color though, it's the symbolism behind it. Let's take a race which has been only shown to be dark skin and let's introduce them in XIV as light skin and blonde. The ONE race in all of the of FF franchise that was actually (mostly) dark skin haha. I just find it funny more than anything, the XIV devs are really interesting folk.

The thing about male Viera only being hinted until December 2020 is sad though. Viera (female) were hinted at in patch 4.3 if I remember correctly when they were listed as one of the races residing in Dalmasca, so that was much earlier than male Viera which won't be really talked about until the story moves away from the First and into the Source again which that should be around 5.5. There will literally be nothing new to talk about regarding male Viera for almost 2 full years.
