It never made sense for Yugiri to have to cover herself up, especially if you're playing as an au ra yourself. There are a few immersion breaking things like that in this game, but even if it's not ideal, I don't think that should be a reason to stop the dev team from implementing playable male viera.
WhiteArchmage already explained the Au-ra above. But the only thing Ill say about that is...the Au-ra are a brandnew race so far exclusive to XIV, while the Viera have been established in Ivalice since Tactics, and then we see them again in the Familiar land of Ivalice in XII. Their Lore is already written, and kept consistent. Its not new to XIV like the other races are.

Despite our differences, we both at least agree a good story would make it more interesting for them to be in the game.
And I wont get mad or fight anybody if they DO get put into the game. I just hope and would appreciate some good writing behind it besides "Just because" And this is only exclusive to the Viera, because again, they were made before this game, so Id just like their lore to be consistent and Id rather it be Expanded on, instead of lazily ignored Just to put them into the game.
