Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[RyuDragnier]

This wouldn't even be bending lore tbh. There are always exceptions to anything, and in the case of the storyline and player creation, you're always unique. Yes, there are many many male Miqote players. But as far as the storyline and world is concerned, none of them exist other than you. The same would be true of playable male Viera and female Hrothgar. Yes by lore standards it's incredibly rare to see them...and for storyline purposes, that would still be true because you'd be the only one the NPCs will have ever seen in the storyline.

False, the game recognizes every Player running around and idling, from the Lalafell to the Miqote, as an adventurer.
Also there are tons of Miqote NPCs, so the WoL being the only Miqote these people have seen, is false.

False. Only the Character you control matters for story line purposes. All the other PCs are seen as other "adventurers" for the sake of duty-finder related needs.

I don't think that's necessarily true based on a lot of comments by NPCs on adventurers being weird in general and even a joke about variants on the name "Sephiroth" being common among adventurers. Unless Koji Fox outright says otherwise, I don't believe that the horde of weird people hanging out and doing things isn't canon. Besides, like I already stated, there's male moon keeper NPCs who are adventurers or otherwise integrated with normal society so the idea that they are all hidden secretive people exactly like the male viera is moot at this point.

Yeah, thats what I said...they exist and the game recognizes them as Adventurers. One of the NPCs in fact say "Gather your fellow adventurers" which means recruit in duty finder.
I Never mentioned other PCs mattering in the Storyline.

While other PCs are "adventurers" the in-game Lore doesn't particularily CARE what race/job they are. Again, we run into a full party of the ultra-rare White Mage holder of A-Towa-Cant's Soul Crystal, or the only holder of a Scholar Soul Crystal summoning Lily, or any Red Mage which X'Ruhn pretty much any Red Mage by name and has trained them so he should have mentioned them, or the other OTHER Azure Dragoon, or a super rare Dark Knight of which the order has been nearly wiped out, likewise with Black Mages, and there are only THREE Dancers in Eorzea (Nashmeria, the WoL, and Ranaa).

As far as the game is concerned, those adventurers are Midlander Male Gladiators.

Well, if nothing else I'm just glad that this conversation comes up often enough to keep the thread visible on the front page.

You're welcome.
Ill be sure to keep bickering and arguing about nothing important and make sure every conversation eventually comes back to the Lore Argument so that you can get Male Viera Faster

[Genbe197]

I mean at this point we still don't have hats and hair for female viera and male Hrothgar. I highly highly highly highly doubt male Viera will ever be a thing

Suddenly, Male Viera! >
In all seriousness, you never know. The Community has predicted wrong before (The Expansion Name being Forspoken & the many guesses of a new healer) So when we least expect it....it just could happen.
