Male Viera Lore Possibilities? What brings them out of hiding?

[Violyre]

they existed but they was not important they should have stayed that way the best part of ff 11's cat race is that all the men nearly extinct so they never played any important role in the society

It's a single player story at its core so other players are not taken into account. Technically you're one of the few male vieras or miqote that decided to break away from their communities in exchange for adventure.

I don't really get the hate toward adding more races to the game? People wanted to see male viera in game for the first time and it honestly came out of nowhere. People weren't expect SE to even announce them considering covid. So the fact that they did it is impressive tbh.

If people are so gung-ho about sticking to lore, then Viera shouldn't be playable since they don't leave the woods. Lala shouldn't be able to play muscle bound jobs like War or Drk because physics.

This is an MMO, and a fantasy game at that. This isn't realism simulator. Of course some things are going to be out of the ordinary.

Mostly I've seen people supportive of the addition with trolls and some haters being negative as usual.

Very impressive. The graphics design team have clearly worked hard to do it. I am so thankful for all their efforts and dedication.

A lot of people will be very happy for this, their excitement and dreams are good to see.

If i had to guess, probably the massive world war currently going on. It displaced a lot of viera and hrothgar, there isnt any reason why that would only affect a specific gender (even forest guards gotta move if their forest burns down)

The reason I posted in the m viera thread, a whole two years ago, about wanting m viera to appear in a standalone game before 14 was that I expect to see 0 lore invested into them. We didn't see anything for F Viera, but it's.. fine I guess. We know about them from the Ivalice games. I'm beaten down by two long years of silence on healer design and no bunny hair so I really don't even expect there to be much more than maybe an npc with a throw away line about male viera. In fact the line Fran has in the SB raid series may be all we get!

What worried me more was the "This is a 14 original design." We wouldn't have had any of the great Au Ra lore if it wasn't for the Azim Steppe, but I don't really trust SE to give us another one of those. Looking at the map in the trailer didn't fill me with any kind of confidence in it.

Necroing thread to say we're almost to early access and still no lore. So sad.

[Duskane]

they will just grab the females lore and put some white out over some sections

[TitusAldin]

sadly his stardrive did not kill them all before they butchered what made the viera cool just like the cat boys did with the cats

we get it you don't like male cat boys or male viera you've made yourself very clear and we respect your opinion.

I think that the fact that we can play them from lvl 1 in the MSQ and that no one will reference it and be even slightly surprised pretty much makes it better to just not ask any questions about it.
