Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

It's just an au ra with removed horns with mismatching rabbit ears plopped through their hair. If people really want that look just play au ra.

It‘s just a fanmade mod with the things given in the game. what would you expect? i think it‘s out of question that they are just going to look like an au ra with bunny ears instead of scales.
they will obviously be distinct enough as their own race (if they ever get implemented) but will probably fill in the same niche as male elezen and or male au ra do.
au ra females and miqo‘te females also fill in the same niche being the small, cute, waifu races.

Still in favor of the base model being a hairy lalafell.

Idc what they look like. All I care about is supporting their life of seclusion. With so many casuals playing female Viera, I don't blame the males and support them on their choice.

It’s a good thing they said no more child-like races

They never said no more. They said no children. And lalafells are not children. So a hairy lalafell is still an option.

I have to agree with my shared hairstyle acquaintance. Lalafell are not children while slim a chance still remains.

Live in weird times stranger things have happened. I mean also has Yoshi-P been on record saying male bunny are weird? I mean is what more weird then a hairy lalafell with long rabbit ears, OR if they go the WoW dwarf route and give them rabbit ears. Manlet bunny males ftw.

Lalafells are still child-like, and with the backlash this expansion with them i highly doubt they’d ever introduce another one, especially for male viera as that doesn’t even make any sense whatsoever lore wise lol. Plus i’d rather they be more unique not just deriving from an existing race.

Ever heard the saying, "There's always an exception?" Them adding male Viera would make the PC one of the few exceptions, without breaking lore. Remember, it doesn't matter if there are a million and one female Hrothgar or male Viera running around. As far as the story is concerned, the PC is the only one that matters and will ALWAYS be one of the few exceptions.

We actually DO know Matsuno's and Yoshi-P's idea for male Viera, or at least their starting ideas.

Matsuno thought of them as tall, with a lean, boxer-type figure (he particularly cited a Hajime no Ippo character that had been starving himself before a match); I could look for the art he commissioned on his twitter when I have some free time.

Yoshi-P toyed with the idea in an interview (though I forget WHICH interview, MrHappy's?), and described them as having "An elezen body with a miqo'te face"; so tall, slim but broad-shouldered, round-ish head.

The poster was refering to the "hairy lalafell" male Viera idea, not the lore-argument for keeping male Viera unplayable. The sexual dimorphism to make THAT happen is... no, just no.

Then I completely misread the statement, and agree that it is just...no, please no.
