Plus, XII's development was also troubled, since Matsuno had to drop out mid-way due to health issues, so if he planned to introduce the males in that game, it was out of his hands. The whole "lower birthrate than females" was invented for XIV and we know it was a development time issue and trying to please 2 subsets of the fanbase.

Basically, we're back where we've always been. Not a yes, not a no.
Non existent in FFXII except for one mention if Fran talks to one of the Viera, on how the males are sparse and mad in the head and muscular/stout.

Revenant Wings talked of cross breeding female Viera with other races and connected to the Ivalace lore. Hence Feol Viera.

So if they pull directly from FFXII lore, the men are crazy and barely to be found lol.

Let's hope that changes if they do ever try and add them, or would be quite awkward.
