Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Unpopular opinion: Instead of adding male Viera, they should focus on the existing races.

For example adding more options (Au Ra: dyeable scales, horns and faces separeted, Miqo: stribes on their bodies, Hyur: elezen ears, etc) or fixing stuff for female Viera (wearing hats, using additional hairstyles, etc).

Thats one of the biggest problem in FFXIV: Instead of improving/fixing old systems, they keep adding stuff almost nobody asked for.

Too true. The races prior definitely could have used a touching up before male viera, considering the limitations. They've been needing one for quite awhile too.

You're correct in general on this. Existing races need more customization options, and a whole host of implemented content could do with additions or incentives. Chocobo racing comes to mind.

I'd disagree that nobody asked for male Viera, or female Hrothgar for that matter. You're posting in a nearly 1500 page thread about it. We could quibble on what percentage of players don't want gender-locked races but it's obviously significant. Maybe they will eventually get around to adding customization to existing races once we're over this hurdle of male Viera and female Hrothgar being implemented.

As it is, they opened this can of worms by introducing Viera and Hrothgar the way they did, after already correcting a similar issue between Roegadyn and Miqote in ARR. So for now I'd prioritize parity over catgirls with stripes.
