Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I'll bite Omymy, because I find you endearing, uwu. How would you like them to look?

I can answer that: Roegadyn with bunny ears and teeny tiny cotton tail.

Because apparently hi-jacking a race is easier than earning what is it? 120k mgp?

Another fan. Get in line and don't make any noise, ok? *pat pat*

Look, the first thing would be to take an Elezen and an Au Ra.

You grab the Elezen and remove the stick that is embedded where we already know. Second, we let a few years go by before the Auri passes the edgy vein and sells Evanescence's albums on Ebay.

We put them together so that the male Viera comes out: a tall male (by pure logic), athletic since we are talking about races that live in the woods and in the wild environment. As for his constitution I would say that a muscular body, something more than highlander but without being too exaggerated. To note that we have before us a hunter and not a hippie elf with a fedora who smokes tobacco imported from Ishgard near his chimney made by Potatofells.

The result must be an imposing race but one that maintains the elegance of females of the same species. If we could put some hair would be fine, but seeing that the females of the same race do not have I imagine we should forget.

Broadly speaking, that.

Okay, I can actually get behind that imagery. I wouldn't object to them being that muscular. But I can imagine they'd have to be pretty damn slender, just with zero body fat going on. So basically a more developed elezen with better proportions and muscle development? What about their emotes? Standoffish? Aggressive? Aloof? Etc.

That goes for everyone by the way - ain't just the appearance but the way they actually handle themselves.

The ad hominem arguments[...]

First I was delighted I taught you something new, but you use "ad hominem" wrong. Not only because Mr. Brightmore mentioned the irony in your statement (which is spot-on by the way), but also because "ad hominem" is used to attack the person itself.
Saying that you wear a "oversized mog hat" is not ad hominem attack, it's a fact. (Or your other funky stuff you wear according to the Lodestone right now)
But merely stating facts like the hairstyle, the car someone drives or the favourite dishes are not ad hominem - it would require you to go behind that and hit directly a person's attitude as the very translation from Latin suggests.

Or in very short words: You lack the chain of "accusation" [All Lalafell players are X] and "ridiculing of a person's trait" [...because they love small characters, so they must be X!]. Here, just facts have been pointed out (haircut, Mogry hat).


Also, I'd like to have male bunnies. It would be fantastic to get out of the stereotype of "large man, women looking up to her darling" sort of Telenovela stuff. Now the men are precious. And pointy, huge, fluffy ears



Sincerely,

[Omymy]

Blao

To discredit someone's argument by referring to their appearance is clearly ad hominem.

If your a** hurts from saying the Lalas are kids, pour pomade. I hope I don't have to be reading the anecdotes about your life with that font you use so pompous and some photoshop retouching to dress up the nonsense of the day. At least don't tell me, dont care about it.

But well, I already have another potato fan that is going to chase me through all the topics. What a kind, happy race we have in the game.

Hey, let's try to keep things on topic here.

Ooh! I like this design!

It looks like there's another version with tattoos as well.

Very cool stuff.

...

Personally, I don't think they should be more developed than elezen... Elezen are already well built. If you haven't before, try making an elezen alt. If male viera does come out, there probably won't be a muscle slider (the ear slider will take that slot up), so I would prefer if it's not over the top buff. Just give me Omega M's physique and I'd be happy.

You know, I'm always sort of bummed out by elezen. Elves are supposed to be elegant, graceful, and mysterious, but elezen are none of that. We're just lumbering giraffes with awful proportions and an unflattering run cycle. Elezen seem more like the haughty type, too. If possible, I really would prefer if male viera would fill that elf niche by being slim, handsome, and elegant. There's no need to make them a mix of elezen and au ra. Keep it as elezen, but fix the proportions just like they did with female viera.

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Please, no, this game doesn't need any more kawaii bunnies to wear Japanese teen costumes.

That these people live in the woods, killing, for God's sake. They're not Dolce & Gabbana rabbits, for the love of whatever god you have your faith into.

I agree......but at the same time I actually think it looks kinda cute.
I think he would make a handsome dancer, maybe an Ast, Bard or Dragoon.

Emotes, huh... maybe same coldness as females have, but with some wildness?
