Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Tabbs]

I've shared some of these sources before, but I wanted to compile it into one post for people's viewing pleasure.

Thank you for sharing this all in one spot! Really handy actually; its a shame you can pin individual replies to a thread.

The OP could always be updated with stuff like that.

my insinuation was more that there was no established lore for the viera on the source so that there's no lore issues with male viera being made playable. maybe if we were on norvrandt, sure, but on the source?

The Dramaturge on the airship in Kugane has had all the Source's viera lore since Stormblood and it's the same as Ivalice viera lore. He's also been to Dalmasca, which viera make up 5% of the population of the Kingdom, and has never seen a male viera.

I saw all manner of wondrous creatures, not once did I lay mine eyes upon a male Viera, nor did I hear of one living in the city. They simply do not exist to us.

We probably have more lore on Source viera than we do on the viis.

still i feel the lore justification is flimsy. they describe female viera following similar cultural traditions (reclusive, shunning contact) but it's okay for a female viera to choose to reject tradition and not want that lifestyle for themselves and not okay for a male viera to also reject tradition and also choose not to want the sort of lifestyle they have for themselves because...?

Welp, this conversation is back XD

It has nothing to do with it "being ok" then just the Females decided at one point they wanted to leave the forest and join the outside world. Going against their traditions, and being punished by being rejected by their own people and the Forest itself (Or more they lose "the voice" which the Viera that follow their traditions can hear)
The Males I think are also very different from the Females in where they arn't exactly sociable, and I think take their duty and tradition much more seriously then the Females. They dont even interact with their own females outside of the "Reproduction Period"

So really, just because the Girls do it, doesn't mean In-turn the Males will just do it.
