Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I said all females use the same base model. So Base -> Elezen -> Viera. I also said female Viera are almost identical (read not identical to the T) to Elezen. Moreso than any other race in comparison to each other. Both Viera and Elezen have the same slopped shoulders and long arms. Their necks are also the same length but Viera has a larger head on top of it to make it look more proportional. And to top it off, stance has a lot to do with the perceived difference in body shape. Take a look in the benchmark (q-q servers down) to see what I mean. Not that this matters anyways cuz this isn't the female Viera thread and once again, super nit picky. XD

It's just something there to point out that more than likely since female Viera were very clearly a variation of female Elezen with a larger head, male Viera might mirror it by being a male Elezen with a larger head. I think it would fit both the female counter parts and make sense with their lifestyle.

You are wrong though. Viera are almost identical to midlander, the only difference is height, and that is just a slider. Height enlarges the same proportions. The differences between elezen and viera are much bigger than the differences between midlander and viera. I'd actually go as far as saying the body is identical to midlander (as in unmodified; muscle slider). Are we talking about size (height) or the actual build?

Speaking of males, they would be using a modified midlander body NOT elezen, because elezen is literally the midlander body. It's arguing semantics at this point. They might not even modify it they might just do the same thing as females and just adjust the muscle slider (tone) default.

Clarification: Using your example it would be more like this actually Base (midlander) -> Viera

Viera,Elezen and Miqote are made From the midlander model

they are similar but there is some clear differences that occur the way they are posed

Thank you! Some reason here!

Why would they even use the elezen (modified for elezen) as a base for viera like the poster is implying, when they can just use the midlander body and adjust it's height (which they did)? It's crazy I am even arguing this.

I believe femle viera have a carbon copy body of female miqote, with taller height (both of the things cost basically no resources, just scale the model up and done) and then the heads and animations are the costy parts. I believe that they also didnt have to refit a lot of gear to female vieras considering they basically female miqote (could be wrong) and the only real work was from animations and head reffiting (the latter which they didnt do because resouces?)
