Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Amnmaat]

Are you just knowingly leaving out Highlanders, Roe, and Hrothgar? For sake of argument, fine let's leave out Hrothgar. Highlanders are both tall, and muscular, and fit your "tall, rough, and non-assuming" descriptor. Roe would also fit this description, but they are more broad than highlanders. The statement that male viera would bring "manlyness", or "balance", to tall males, is ridiculous, in my opinion.

Also, for that matter, if we are going to base the assumed look of male viera off of this concept art - one those feet are a no go - they have bestial looking faces in comparison to the female shown. Is a more bestial look something male viera supporters want?

Some qualities will overlap, but some are more defining than others.
Male Highlanders are the sloppy protectors; need I say more?
Male Roegadyn are the epitome of protectors but their other defining quality is their gentlemanly demeanour; they're the ones who would do anything to not offend his woman kind of man. Very classical gentleman.

Races are not one dimensional, some qualities stick out more than others. My point is that male Viera would be the perfect protector male because they fit that super hero trope; "by the time you see a male viera you're already dead" type of deal. And just looking at the official sketch/concept art they look non-assuming, as well as looking at female Viera and how they are. This goes into psychology and probability, but I'll just say that's what I believe they will be like, as I stated in my original post. If they end up like I think they will they will really stand out in 2 particular qualities: hero and protector.

As for "beastial" face you're talking about, that's not a beastial face, that's just how female Viera look but more rugged/male. Viera have the same pronounced jaw structure.

So you say races are not one-dimensional, and then continuously talk about wanting male viera to be this one-dimensional "hero and protector". What are you even debating here anymore (aside from this back and forth nonsensical development back and forth you two are having, in my opinion)?

I can't imagine male Viera looking like male Miqo'te (teenage boys) when you put them alongside female Viera (strong warrior women). Male Viera shouldn't be used to fill a quota; that should be left to a brand new race, like Au ra was.

That's unfortunate, since they are envisioned to have a miqo'te like face, and elezen body. As many like to say from time to time in here.
