Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[zeylos]

I'm still trying not to get my hopes up. Far too many things that I would like to see added to the game end up being the exact same things that the development team choose to compromise on.

and thats just fine ^^

Personally, I have been raised with the mentality of better be happy and excited then dissapointed than not to be excited at all, but its completely respectable not to get your hopes up, considering that theres a chance that male viera wont come for 4 years, or worst case scenario, not come at all

This is my mental cannon for male Viera

A male Viera bard by @whispwill on twitter, but the full version seems to only be available to people who bought the zine they did.

O.o the Male Viera guy is back

Would have been far better if they had released just female and male Viera. I was looking forward to male Viera so much, I don't understand after all this progress that the same mistake was made of going back to a gender-locked species. Could have saved female and male Hrothgar for a later release. I may have overlooked it but I never saw the same demand for Hrothgar as I did for Viera.

I agree with you. It would have made more sense to release Viera this expansion due to how heavily they are tied to the Greatwood and serving a role close to that of 12. For Hrothgar you could replace each one in the game with a Roegadyn with no problem, except maybe the Gunbreaker instructor. Otherwise, the characters that are Hrothgar in the game now could be replaced with aother race with no consequence or change. It would have made more sense to release them in the potential future Garlemald expansion.

Well...
Any time soon is great!
But I think their hands now are full, to dream it sooner.

Not like they said we'd get male Viera in the 1st place, Plus we have yet to actually see them in any FF game, (Im not saying they don't exist, so stop it right there) in lore they barley if ever leave the Forrest, and they live separately from the Females. So getting Male Viera was already a pipe dream from the start. Its the One FF race (that I know of) that would work with Female only.
Plus they (or Yoshi Specifically) said this might be their last chance to develop a race. So they wanted to fill both demands for the Viera and a Beast Race. Ultimitly adding in a beast race to give a more diverse option.

WILL we ever get the other Genders? Maybe, remember its not off the Table, but no promises are being made.

Or they could’ve just tied the Gunbreaker lore in with Garlemald rather than the contrived stuff they went with... either way, can’t say I’m impressed by how they’ve handled Viera. I think I’ll snd up taking a break until 5.1 to re-evaluate how things are going. I’m a little disheartened by the expansion and direction I see they’re taking some things in so hopefully that’ll be clearer by then.
