Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I am expecting that if they do add male Viera, they will utilize the male Elezen model, which they previously said they considered doing. Though, I hope the faces are more attractive. I will be interested to see if they bring them to 6.0, but I have a feeling it won't happen. Thankfully, I am just 100% in love with my Hrothgar, so I am okay if it doesn't happen.

I thought they were 'Rava' but then it brought the question up on why all of the Rava aren't the darker skin tone. The one talking to the twins (the priestess) who I thought to be a Rava - also has the light skin. I thought this was due to lack of sunlight or something, or them just hiding underneath the thicket of the trees. But the Rava in FF12 also have this where Golmore jungle is extremely thick in regards to the treetop. It was very confusing for me. Like, haha, what was the reason for the Rava there to be light-skinned? Just putting forward this isn't something where I'm upset, or racist because I highly doubt that was the reason. I'm just ??? yo, why is the Rava that is known for the darker skin tone not actually dark in ShB and can easily be confused for a Veena, and can only be told apart due to the 'on point' eyebrows. There has to be some sort of reasoning for why they decided to do this for both races.

Time to be lame as heck and check every single settlement to see if there's an actual Rava that has a tone that is similar/close to Frans. And see if there's any of the 'Lost' - perhaps it's a cultural thing, where Rava and Veena don't actually exist in the first. And neither do the lost.

Yeah, when I went through the story I thought they were all veena too. It is odd that they would make them all light skinned, when dark skin is what makes a Rava a Rava - and the classic Viera. I'd say that maybe it is because they wanted to differentiate the viis from the viera on the source, but the few I've seen on the source are also light skinned, if my memory is right..

The official response was no, theres a technical limitation. There is no new official news.

Nothing yet, just a 'maybe.' from before - not a 'no.' Only no that was received was those who wanted to have a child like male Viera.

Pretty decent fan concepts. A looks like the typical high elf, but with bunny ears. Without the ears I'd probably mistake A for an Altmer. I don't like B at all. If they were A's height they would be about as tall as an Au Ra? I'd say that's about 7 feet if the average female is about 6 feet, but a slider from B - A would be nice IMO. The second picture is giving me Native American vibes - and I like it.

I prefer A in the first picture, though perhaps with less height to make it just about or slightly taller than the females. The second picture looks amazing! I only wish I were more talented in coloring and photoshop to make art like these ones.

Edit: This is some more art from another tumblr artist, solthrys:
