Drew a quick headshot of how I'd personally like male viera to look.

Nice art, thanks for sharing

Is this a problem? It's contained to one thread, so it doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

If you take a look at the other language forums, you will see "free talk" threads where users will casually talk about anything and post pictures even if it's unrelated to ffxiv. You will see a lot of short comments that don't do much to create an actual discussion. Not to trash on others for their free talk threads since I think it's fine to make one huge thread to talk about whatever, but at least this thread is generally on the topic of male viera.

Ah, page 420. Time for a bit of lore speculation? Male Viera, when initially taken from the village, undergo 420 days of quiet meditation alone among the green to be able to hear the will of the Weed Wood as loud and clear as possible. It is only once they are able to do this that they are trained to smoke their enemies in the the most efficient of ways, be it the fragrant underbrush or dankest of caves. They partake of the finest munchies of the forest to keep going, the freshest of unspoiled organic edibles, and, when needed, sip the mountain dew collecting on tender green leaves. They live for this place--which cares for them as children--protecting it with their lives, afraid that it will burn, go up in smoke, in a blaze... a fear that is all too real, since Garleans love to burn what isn't theirs. (Some say Nero's eyes are the way they are from all that smoke they're exposed to. It might just be a legend, but...)

So, to get more on the topic so it's related to viera and perhaps important info. Benchmark when? Or are we still in the dark regarding it?

Supposedly towards the end of May here we will see it.

[Lauront]

I suspect it would have been out already, but the news of the Emperor abdicating, coinciding with Golden Week, no doubt altered their plans a bit. They're still doing the PLL on 24 May and hoping to release the benchmark towards its end.

[Theodric]

I'm hoping for late May, since then it'll be around a month until the expansion itself. As for the benchmark, I'm mostly looking forward to it for the sake of the previews of music, new zones and enemy models.

Looks pretty cool.

Isn't it just classic macho-style? :") I mean... we have enough of it in game. But looks not bad, yes.
