[Critical] Male Viera height slider; tall option. Show your support.

[Hunky]

Though based on the investigations done in regards to their height with what we have so far, it seems like they're on the taller side of things. So I'm happy, personally - they're not as slim, feminine or androgynous as some of the suggestions were pushing for over the years.

They have a nice amount of muscle to them, so they're toned and athletic rather than skinny - and the proportions are an improved version of the Elezen model which is also what a lot of players were pushing for.

Agreed! They look phenomenal. The team did a great job.

Apparently, Matsuno is also very happy with how the male Viera turned out.

According to a comment in Mr. Happy's video, Matsuno stated on his Twitter that the males are different than what he had in mind, but he loves what the devs did with them and plans on using a fantasia to play as one.

I couldn't find Matsuno's twitter to confirm though.

My only gripe with male viera now is that I wished they looked just a little older, like 5+ years or so, and I would have liked to see some options like stubble in their trailer. Maybe when the benchmark comes out. Perhaps they will have that more mature face option, one that wasn't revealed in the trailer. As it really looks like they only showed 3 face options.

I remember reading in the lore somewhere that Viera retain their youthful appearance even in old age. They don't age like the other races.

I think it's safe to say the devs kept that in mind as they designed their faces.

But I don't see why there can't be a mature option. Mature doesn't have to mean old. Male Miqo'te have a mature option too and it still looks young. Maybe that's how the mature face option will look like.

The female Viera trailer only showcased two of the face options, if I remember right. So it's likely that it's the same case with the male trailer.

I believe the Dramaturge says it, Viera easily live three times as long as Elezen and retain physical youth for centuries.

Female Viera has decent (but not great, like most races) variety in their faces with 3 being the "young Elezen face" they talked about and I'd say 4 being the most mature, the other two faces fall somewhere in between.

They mostly featured face 1 in the female Viera trailer, I thought I saw a face 2 in there as well but someone else said it was only face 1 with different hair/lips/noses/brows/colours and I can see that being the case as well.

If they only showed variations of face 1 for male Viera as well there's three more they haven't shown, so there should be some variety.
