Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I was hoping that they would be along the lines of Byakko. Minus the weird tiger arm. The final result does seem to be closer to the Japanese aesthetic of 'bara' than a Western design to me, though.

I like muscle, but around the point of a Highlander guy is roughly the limit of what I enjoy. Anything too far beyond that it ends up becoming too much and weirdly proportioned for my tastes.

I think you can go a bit above Highlanders and still have it look fine, but not too much. I wish they had done so for Au Ra, since a lot of their concept art had portrayed such builds. Personally I don’t like the Roe or Hrothgar build, as it’s at the point where I find it too large. Something like male Raen being left as they are and Xaela achieving a build a bit above Highlanders would’ve pleased me. Something like these guys from DQXI:



For Viera that'd probably be a bit too far, but a man can dream about them going back and re-doing Au Ra to be like that!
