    I'm really excited to see the other version of viera. If we really are getting two versions (a tall and small version) I'm gonna be so happy.
    Since we haven't seen this other version of viera, I think they're holding off on showing male veira (if there are playable male viera) for now.

    Perhaps the dev team couldn't get funding for both genders of a new race, and Yoshi P was hoping that the backlash and demand would be enough to convince those holding onto the purse strings to fund the rest of the development.

    They are probably still working on the males and had nothing to show.
    Well im not surprised, because female models are really nice, and has soul in them.

    Unlikely, the expansion is only 5 months away. Most content in this game, even stuff like gear, starts its development a year before it's made available in game, 6 months at least. If Male Viera are happening then they already exist. Maybe their 3D models are not in a state where they can be shown, but at the very least they would have finalized concept art.

    If male Viera were planned they would have shown a model.

    And then we have official artwork promoting it like this.



    Yeah seems genderlocked to me.

    Furthermore it's just tall Hyur with rabbit ears tacked on. Oh boy oh joy.

    Yeah, literally what I said they would be for years :^)
    They also have a bad case of Elezen neck and tiny heads.

    I think NA or EU would have been the place to show male Viera and get big cheers. JP is the place to say 'sorry it's female only have some ronso instead please understand' and have the fans understand and not boo.

    Art Panel revealed nothing new other than bang options (I thought we already had a couple hairstyles that only had bang presence as a difference, though).

    Oh, and folded ears.

    I've seen nothing from Yoshi's team about subrace options or males for the Viera yet.

    That being said, considering the Viera are a literal transplant race from another game... revealing how the end product for how male Viera look would be a big deal not just for FFXIV, but also for FFXII, wouldn't it? This isn't an original race that they can handle on their own, but they also have to coordinate across other internal studios.

    So, if we are getting male Viera, I feel like waiting to announce it can be justified.

    If it's the other theory, that we're going to get another race that's male only... Can it be anything other than Garlean? Which that wouldn't make sense, because Garleans are pretty well established to have a healthy balance in gender distribution. But Garleans are the only other race that we have any context given to us in FFXIV. I mean... I think of our reality for cases of massive male to female disparity... I suppose there are those wolf people under Doma... No please.

    Ants? An Ant race? I'm not sure if Worker Ants can be female or not, but there's a clear difference between a Worker and a Queen ant. Similar to this Viera and Mi'qote setup, the queen is kept in safety for breeding, pretty much.

    Garleans make no sense as a player race. Lore-wise, they're defined by their inability to use aether... Which is something literally every job in the game needs to do to function. Practically speaking, they don't really have a unique character model, either. Garlean NPCs always use other races bodies (like Elezen) with unique heads, or a 100% character-unique model.
