Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I've never understood the point of arguing against male Viera once we found out what was going on in Endwalker. Sure, they were protectors/sentinels of their land, but what does being secular in the protections of ones lands hold when the planet itself is being threatened? Naturally a few would come out and venture forth.

I have no issue with their introduction, but it's not just about them venturing forth because of the events of Endwalker. Maybe that will be a thing for some NPCs, but you-the-main-character can be a male Viera from the very beginning of the story, long before Endwalker's apocalyptic threat. So that doesn't stand as the reason that they are becoming available to play.

i agree. i think we as the warrior of the light are an exception(we are an unicum), we were there before the events of EW happened (if you go by the view point as a male viera). you are the only male viera that broke the rules of the green word and started adventuring through the world - becoming the warrior of light. the things going on in endwalker could explain why we could see some males around as npc‘s tho.

there will be of course overlap in lore that would make no sense (speaking with the dramaturg for example) but there are many of those mini „lore breaking“ moments in game. just like how you wander around as an au ra in ishgard in heavensward, which also would not make much sense…

The main character in 14 has always been the exception. And easily explained away simply due to the call of the crystal. May not be the best way of explaining it, but it is what it is.
