Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Taybat]

I think with the civil war happening in Galremeld right now. We may see some development about the Viera towns that exist

[Theodric]

I'd rather not see their addition tied to 'Garlean Oppression'. That's become a rather lazy and tiresome plot point now. I think it'd be far more interesting to justify their presence through being frustrated by the status quo and harsh lifestyle that they're expected to endure whilst the women live in comfort and luxury by comparison.

If anything the chaos in Garlemald and civil war should be exploited as justification to bring us playable Garlean Purebloods.

The civil war should result in the Empire's gaze being turned inwards. Dalmasca has already been cut off from the Empire in effect, and turning its focus there whilst a civil war wages in the mainland would be foolish. I think since they're not a hive-mind, some disgruntled males choosing to leave the Wood, would make more sense.

Well, Garlean Civil War could work for other male vieras in general, but you as the Warrior of Light, as a male viera - it wouldn't work. You would be a male viera who started adventuring outside the wood, during ARR.. so well before the current events of the story. They would for sure have to figure out something more creative.

I suppose if they want to be lazy they could use past Garlean Oppression though - Or just give no explanation, and add them. I'd call that lazy, but actually adding the missing genders would be enough.

-1 No. No and no.

i mean we have player au ra despite yugiri in lore hiding her face when she came to eorzea as not to make people afraid. when it comes to the wol, lore is bendable. surely as a "few have lived to see and tell the tale" viera thats obvious.

Don't fancy reading a thousand pages but has there been any movement on this? Some reason to believe it may happen since this thread was started? Feels like the answer is "no, but we'll humour you by saying it's a 'possibility'... some day... maybe", like a meteor falling on your house or winning the lottery...

If they absolutely are not going to do it or have no plans to address it, they should just come out and say it... and use the the word "never".

its basically in "maybe" mode right now and probably will be for awhile
i do wish they would say just no or yes so people can move on aswell
