Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Don't ever cave in SE. You're doing the right thing.

Why are gender locked races the right thing?

because there aren't male viera in the games. like ff12. They don't fit in with the lore, or the world, and would be inappropriate for 14. Especially since the rest of the world of the 1st was destroyed

They exist in the lore though so why wouldn't they be appropriate? They could be brought into the game pretty easily if they had the resources or willingness to make it happen. They don't just exist in the First either, so...I'm not sure where you're getting your information from.

it doesnt mean much though its not like they dont exist and have been told in ShB that males are in the first
and its not like that even matters the player is not from the first

lore isnt stopping them from adding Male viera or female hroth

Yep. They are both confirmed to exist. We just haven't seen them.

Male Miqote in this game are suppose to be a rare sight, yet like half the playerbase are them.
They said Male Viera were also a rare sight.

The rare men, however, are still held in high regard as Wood-warder, defenders of the jungle. They remain deeply solitary, except when they decide to take a ward, always a male, to train.

It is estimated that around 80% of Viera are born female. They begin to show sexual dimorphism at around the age of 13, which is when the males will be taken under the wings of older males to train in the ways of the Wood-warders.

Also this isn't FF12 so there's that.

What's the First got to do with anything? The Source is still there. Besides, there are male Viera in the Ivalice games. They are not sighted, which is a different thing.

Sure, they use a modified Roe body, but regardless of what you say, they are indeed very diffrent. They arent just Roe's with cat ears, but you can argue that they are Roe's with cat heads I suppose. The fact is, the head is so unique enough, that that alone makes it different. The only thing Male viera will bring is another humanoid head with ears, period.

You say it's unique enough. I don't think it is.

Whatever. You're not really going to convince me and their low % of active characters is all the proof I require that they're far from "necessary". Unique =/= good.

If you're just here to gripe about male Viera, I suggest you save your breath. It's not going to deter me or anyone else from asking for them to be added.

It should have been one or the other, perhaps at this point, the Ronso later in a different expansion.
Viera themselves have more presence in this game than the Ronso and with Fran's appearance in 4.0...
Coulda had both genders now and work on the other later.
I mean, who do we have? Runar, that GNB guy and that one dude you see like twice in MSQ in the Cryst.
They aren't very fleshed out at all. They don't even coincide with the Viera lol.
I literally don't know jack squat about that race at all LOL. Unless I'm missing something...
Viera have their whole own area...

But the one thing we all know about Viera, is that the males are never seen. That’s been in the lore and even brought over into this game, and even in that Viera area, there isn’t any male viera present… so your point?

Its still lore brought over from a different game into this game. Reguardless if you hate that or not, this was the reason they didn’t include male viera, and to be frank, the rest of the world seems to be ok with this. While I am ok with the idea of Male viera being added, and have nothing against it, when viera was announced, I didn’t expect to see male viera due to lore from ff12.

I never once said I was trying to deter anyone, so try and not take anything I am saying as some sort of attack. And while you can sit here and say that "Low Numbers" and what ever you wish is reason they shouldn't have been added, you cannot deny the fact that they are indeed very different from Roe. Try to refrain from this salty outlook you have and simply pay attention. While I am at it, if your argument is that they look so much like Roe, then what would male viera bring thats different? Its just another humanoid male with ears, nothing is diffrent from say a male miqote or even a male au ra. You may not like Hrothgar, but there are just enough people that enjoy them and what they bring, and even people who don't play the race have pointed out that hey are diffrent enough to be warented being added in the game. You cannot simply look at numbers of people who play it and say "Yep, that shouldn't be here". I don't play female Roe, but I really like their look and if I ever made a female character, I probably would pick that, does the low number of female roe players mean that shouldn't have been in the game as well? While on that, what makes you think male viera would get more players than male hrothgar? You would see a surge for a few weeks then it would "canabilize" the male miqote numbers.

I get you want male viera, and hey, thats cool man, but don't throw shade just because its something you personally wouldn't play. As I stated from the start, I get why people want male viera, and more power to ya if they get added, but to me, they just would be another human with ears. One of the reason I switched from male miqote to Hrothgar was because I wanted to play a beast/animal race that was a bit larger.
