I do wanna talk about about the lore that shadowbringer gave about the Viis.

So in the sidequests they mention that a male killed the beast and helped a female but went out of sight because the WoL came. There is also a side quest where we have to get things for a newborn baby, which is seemingly something that has not happend for a time. And we also learn that there are maybe a handful of males left thanks to the flood and the sineaters..

So my question is: Why are they not trying to make more babies? I know that they get older than most races but would their cycle really be that much worse?

The females might not even have much of a problem because we do know that other Viis are born outside the village (Lyna for example) thus either those are all males that left, or they can reproduce with other races...but for the males this situation is very bad. They are already less because of the low birthrate and then they have a harsher life and the flood happened too..wouldnt it make more sense for them to try and make more babies thus increasing the chance to have more males too.

I mean even if they have longer birth cycles they should still have way more children running around..but seemingly that one baby girl is the first birth in quite some time..when other races (or humans) can give birth every year or two then they should be at least be able to give birth every five to ten years?

What are your thoughts? (I know that I might be overthinking it but maybe this gives us more to talk about)
You won't see any Viis for some time if carefully read the quest line. Yes, we saw a male(Don't need spoiler for it, all through this thread) in a sense, but from what they were saying, the men are about all wiped out due to the flood, so even seeing one was a miracle. As for why no children around, you don't see them anywhere in FFXIV hardly lol. So, maybe there are kids bouncing around somewhere hidden, who knows. Lyna and the others are what are outcast, not born outside the clans there but left. But what is confusing is they call her a Viera when she should be a Viis in the wiki, odd that.

Who knows though, maybe there's a shard where men are abundant and female are rare, but for now the men are no where in the source or the shard of light.
