It'll never happen, we'll never get male buns just give up.

Am I doing it right?

Considering how a lot of people look at the Male Viera, yes. you are doing it right.

lol that first post in this thread really didn't age well

The tail is the thing i would miss the most. I like it. I kinda wish viera had a little bun tail

a little cotton ball tail would've been a cute touch but i sure won't miss having one like on my miqo'te. seeing it clip through a glam makes me cringe

I think a rabbit tail would clip pretty badly as well tbh

Not saying that SE shouldn't look at what people are saying on the postures of certain races and genders, but the male viera posture isn't bad to me really. Although, certain armors on them look..weird, but then again, the male miqo'te is a bit worse, and they're the 2nd most played male characters in the game after the Hyur regardless. The /changepose emote would make things better in game, but in cutscenes, well, it depends.

Last time Census was updated was in April 2020, I'm afraid the website is either dead at this point or will update only in 6.0.

Based on fresh report from Luckybancho which he posted today, current distribution is that (chart done by me based on info https://luckybancho.ldblog.jp/wsurvey.htm?world=Global. Image is huge so it's clickable):


So current Global distrubition among male characters without clans being taken into account is:
1. Miqo'te - 98.174
2. Hyur - 95.474
3. Lalafell - 59.820
4. Au Ra - 56.462
5. Elezen - 30.812
6. Hrothgar - 23.205
7. Roegadyn - 17.057

Basically, Miqo'te and Hyurs are always competing for 1st place with switching positions from time to time with a small margin. Right at this moment Miqo'te are placed 1st.

Poor Roes, rofl. They're among my most favorite races in the game(I have 5 characters who are Roes). Can't wait for female Hrothgars.

Another male Viera I created; Arethas Townshend(The forename is a Hellenized Arabic name, 7aretha, which is an ancient Arabic name that nobody uses anymore here. As for the Surname, well, it's not hard to guess). He's an older twin brother of my Viera(Rava) female character.





I can't wait for the expansion.

Is that a typo or is there actually an unusual letter represented as 7? How are you supposed to pronounce it?

It's not a typo. It's how Arabic uses numbers to represent sounds or letters that are not found in the Latin script. The 7 letter is ح which is pronunciation is similar to H but it's more..glottal.
