Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I think it would be more accurate to say they won't be smooth. One doesn't have to be Rambo to show that they work out, but Viera live in an unforgiving environment where slacking off or being weak literally gets them killed.

Aye, this. I doubt they'll have a muscle slider. The females are pretty toned/athletic - but not as muscular as a female highlander, which is a given. I expect the males to be as toned if not more toned than a male midlander with the 'toned' at maximum as default while having the elezen like body, without the stupid neck. When I say elezen like body I mean in regards to height and slimness. Makes no sense for the males to be less toned than the females who have a more cushier lifestyle. You can still be slim and be very much toned.


Sniffle, I had to go back to midlander because elezen neck was just too much. I tried!

You sound like me. I switched to Elezen for like a week or two in December-Jan. I really like elezen actually, but it's just way too difficult to make an outfit, or just run around without looking weird. You have to hide their proportions which really limits everything. Well you don't have to, but it looks better if you do.

My alt was also an elezen (duskwight) for the majority of the time I played her, but I changed her into a miqo'te with the free fantasias from the story eventually. Probably going to switch her to a viera too, cause I can't help it. I really should level her.. and finish the story.

I know right! I tried to make some cute looking glamour with the new adventure hoodie and whatnot, can't do it. If it exposes the neck then it just looks horrible. And that's really upsetting. The neck being that long isn't beautiful like I know they were going for. People would play Elezen if they just toned down the neck and perhaps touched up their animations a little.

Honestly, if they had a body like Midlander but taller and perhaps a little more 'toned' I'd be all over that. I love their proportions.

Note; this is the glam I was going for on my alt boy.
Imagine wearing this on an elezen! Don't mind the crappy bow, he's just a baby.

Oh yeah, you pretty much have to have collared outfits, turtle necks, or something that covers it up otherwise it just looks really weird. Heads are also very tiny, and can look very odd with certain outfits, but I don't know how to really describe what outfits make the head look smaller; stand out. You just know it when you see it. Viera on the other hand have proper proportions. Yeah, if Elezen didn't end up looking so jarringly weird at times I think they could be a lot more popular. I think they probably are one of the races that need an overhaul the most, but by overhaul I just mean new faces and potentially new animations. Their run animation is way too stiff. Their proportions are a design choice, so those will never change.

I want that top so bad, but I waste my gil on trash like dye constantly. I'm just gonna hold out for the event coming up and make a nice monk outfit so I can level it. I already have my pieces in mind.
