Hell, it's not like 14 would be defining what Male Viera ARE because Yoshi P has been clear that they'd be doing FF14's version of male Viera.
Each game has their own version of moogles.
Each game has their own version of chocobo.
Male Viera are overdue for a debut and FF14 IS a mainline game...
I mean, them being put into XIV is a Grand Unveiling in itself XD
They aren't Sacred, Id just prefer them in their own verse because I would like their lore expanded on to include the males. Something that has been absent for several games in the setting Viera Come from.
If they are just another FF thing that gets recycled and repurposed, we probly wouldn't be having this conversation and it wouldnt matter. But since they come from a specific setting, I just personally want that honored by some degree even if its in another game.

But these are just my personal feelings, doesn't matter if I like how they are included/if they are included.

And about people not getting about what you were so adamant, maybe you should be more explicit about what you think of "being lazy". I tried to search for a solid or more informative lore explanation for the release of male migo, female Roe and so on... but nothing.
As mentioned by a fellow poster, we really gotta see as our character as a singularity. Maybe in mmo interaction you break the immersion, but lorewise would be more immersive.
And sorry, people are not throwing stones at you. It is just that you really have some issue with Male Viera, clearly, as in Female Diva Hrothgar topic you send kitten's gifs and have another tone on your posts.
They literally are not the same race, they even go by different names and 100% work differently from Ronso. The Males having Unicorn Horns is the biggest difference I can point to in how they are different from Hrothgar. There isn't just a few Ronso Males that are born without Horns, all Males are Born with Horns. So the one Custom option we can get that comes with the Horn, and them being called ronso on the 1st, is moreso just fanservice and/or a reference. But they are Hrothgar, an original race to FFXIV. Not Ronso from FFX. Viera for the most part, work exactly the same as they do to...Viera. And are actually called Viera on teh Source the game mostly takes place in; even coming from the same homeland area thats apart of Dalmasca.
Do know, I really dont have an issue with Male Viera, anybody that thinks I do just dont understand my stance here. Its one thing and completely fine to disagree with me, but it feels more like Im just not understood. And I notice when Im not understood, people start filling my posts with things I never said or argued, which is quite annoying. Me posting cats and being optimistic on a Hrothgar thread and then me posting an unpopular opinion about how id personally like Male Viera to be added does not at all say I have an issue with Male Viera. That doesnt even make sense....

And this is quite old...but I never once made the argument that Lore, or any other reason is an excuse why Male Viera Can't be put into the game. Im not looking to Limit the Viera in any shape.
And the FemRoe and Male Miqote situation have no baring on the Male Viera conversation. They are races that were made one way in 1,0, then updated and changed in 2.0 with the games revival and rework. The Viera are not in the same situation and come from another game.
