Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I would not say no one wants a bulking male bunny.

oh im sure some people out there want that, but they already have roes and hrothgar (bara), and au'ra (the gymrat/"dorito" build) males

Roegadyn and Hrothgar are considered too bulky for a lot of people's tastes, myself included. Personally I'd like something along the lines of Gladio from FFXV, Snow from FFXIII or Basch from FFXII. They're not excessively muscular, they're classically handsome and if you stuck bunny ears on them...they'd be pretty close to what I'd like Viera men to look like.

I'm pretty confident that Highlander men would be one of the most popular race/gender choices - at least on the North American and European servers - if they had actual eyebrows and more handsome facial features. If Viera men end up somewhat close to that ideal, I could see them being a hit rather than a miss.

If that\\'s what you want just play an aura/elezen and wear bunny ears. We don\\'t need anymore recycled races.

Its literally NOT. A recycled race... unless you think of women as a different race which raises... questions.

[Awha]

Maybe I'm weird, but I would not complain about having a bulky bunny man.

Aye, I could for a manlet bunny man.

To be fair though, while I think that would be really cool and likely very popular on NA and EU I higly doubt it would go as well on the east, where it would make mroe sense to at least give them the option to have 1 cutesy or at least young-ish looking face and likely a body thats similar to au ra (considering male au ra are after all based in a large deal on the male viera concept art) so I think the most likely thing is something like, 1 handsome face for west 1 cutesy face for east 2 faces that idk what would be like and a body type thats more similar to elezen than higlander considering YoshiP did say they would look close to elezen. That being said, I wouldnt be opposed to having male viera be based on Snow from FFXIII

To add onto this, comparing the body types of the races shows us that elezen are pretty muscular, while highlander and roes being on the more extreme end of a bodybuilder - even miqo males are quite beefy. elezen just look abit lanky because of their elongated neck with a smaller head. also their arms seem abit long too. I‘d love to see something between elezen and aura body wise, maybe with a muscle slider. as you said yoshi p‘s vision already sees them in that direction.



these are just my opinions tho, i‘d love to see in what direction they would go with them. also something which is a MUST for me, that they consider matsuno‘s vision of them.

Yeah, honestly I would love male Viera not mater if they gonna be smoll boys or buff dude's, but the argument that "there are already enough slim body shapes" is very disingenuous to me. So I hope that if we ever get male viera, they at least have a muscle slider. But no matter what, if by some miracle we get them, I will play them no matter if they are beefcake or reversed Au-ra :;D

Well, I was a M Highlander before changing to Viera, so that would be ideal, but I have always thought they would make them look like Au ras. Not too excited about that, but we'll have to see if that ever happens.

*when you meet your twin* ^^

To the forum now:
I would love to see bunny boys or even want to play bunny boy for a bit.
I just hope they are not taller than the female.

[Theodric]

I hope they're taller than their female counterparts, or at least equal in terms of their height.

It's been proposed numerous times throughout this thread but a good compromise would be to allow their height slider to go above and below what female viera can be in terms of their height. That way those who favour niche aesthetics can embrace that, though those of us who prefer conventional aesthetics can also be happy.
