Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[Renik]

Ehhh, I don't know... Much as I'd like to further explore Viera lore as well, I also don't really want them to mess with the established lore too much. We're already definitely not supposed to be welcome in any Viera villages, let alone tagging along with a group of male Viera like it's a field trip.

Getting to visit Fanow was a neat way to get around 'lore restrictions', but I'd rather they just let it be now and not twist it any further just for some exposition.

For me male Viera are far from what they should be, they took way too much feedback from the community and nothing from Matsuno, don't get me wrong, I still love how the ended and I'm going to switch, but they are not Ivalice canon for me, so they can do with the lore whatever they want, as long as they don't start bending the ffxiv existing lore on M viera too much.

In short, a quest for lore on them would be nice if done carefully.

kind of agree and i think the same can be said about the females. we just need to keep reminding ourselves this is ff14’s version of male viera. they will probably look different in another mainline ivalice series (if they happen to appear in the future)
nevertheless i like how 14‘s version looks, and im also going to main one and im trying to get a more traditional viera look!
