that and those types of males conform more to the japanese ideal of masculinity

If we are gonna get male vieras, which I hope we will do, I think we are going to get the "bishounen"/"Omega-M" body and style, not the "leftover highlander"/"beefy" style or "smol and cute"/"something in between lala and miqo" style.

Simply because "bishounen" makes hella better marketing material worldwide and appeals to the widest slice of audience.

Idk, some of the FF characters popular amongst the JP audience also include more of the "beefy" style. It looks like a healthy mix, rather than just one art style. Bit odd to say bishounen is inherently better marketing material worldwide...

...if the below is considered "bishounen", I wouldn't mind that style.
