Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Theodric]

We should also be wary of the tiny minority who want them to be stick thin, short and overly feminine/androgynous. Though vocal, they don't appear to actually be representative of broader and more conventional tastes.

They're supposed to be wardens of the forest, so in my head I could picture them being pretty muscular. The au ra build would probably suit them pretty well[..]

Sign me up.

Humor is all good, but be cautios with your jokes. One of them can be pretty much taken as "so that's what they want" by team and then the entire community will suffer because of 3 people "lul it's for fun" messages. ツ

GOOD

I won't lie, I'd die laughing if this is exactly what happens.

Just like we should be wary of the vocal minority that are asking for 'classically handsome' defining it for their personal preference.

Or you know better yet just showing support for their inclusion and just let the devs have it their way and enough with the backhanded comments

And yes I'm aware this comment is one too but Theo you are especially bad with the snidey comments towards people's preferences and quite frankly it's just urgh at this point.

This would be glorious. i mean personally i would enjoy another small unique proportioned playable race.

Thankfully it isn't a 'vocal minority' who favour classically handsome aesthetics. Good looking guys are more popular than the strange looking, sickly characters that a tiny but vocal portion of players are pushing for within this very thread.

Luckily Yoshi-P also made a statement a while back ruling out child-like viera, so I doubt the attempts by some posters within this thread to try and push them towards being as short and androgynous as possible will see any success.

I'm not sure what you're accusing me of with the last bit of your post, though I have a feeling you might be mistaking me for another poster - perhaps even yourself! No worries though - it happens!

Simply trying to turn it on its head this way won't work, because his entire point is that the "classically handsome" aesthetic is more broadly preferred than some of the frankly odd, effete looks that have been pushed for as the overarching look for the males of the race... I imagine if anything they'll throw in that one "soft" face that looks weird on virtually every male race and be done with it.

Theodric has offered a few examples of what he considers to fit within that rubric, at any rate, including this lovely pic...



...I am sure we're aware of how this will fare against it.

don't we have more than enough classically handsome female characters?
let's make a chubby AND chibi bunbun gal :P. They can always go back and readjust the look of the character design or introduce a new viera design saying they are from another tribe
