Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Theodric]

To each their own. We will simply have to agree to disagree on some of those particular points.

That the lead developer had to make a statement on it in the first place highlights just how shocking the situation happened to be.

I wanted the cute ones because Im more used to the feol type veiras and like cute things, but creeps are why we cant have anything nice ever so Im fine without adding them.

At this stage it serves no purpose since they're not adding a model along those lines, but eh, his choice I guess.

Are the Feol not just a hybrid race? I'm not too familiar with their lore and when I looked it up it didn't bring up any size differences relative to full blooded Viera, other than the ears.

Yes. Their father race is the Aegyl and their mother race are the Viera. While it's hard to tell in a game where they're just pixels, it's safe to say they are most likely the same size as pure-blood Viera (who exiled them. Feol live in a volcano). They're more Hume in appearance than pure-blood Viera (likely from their fathers side, who are pretty much just Hume with wings) and have shorter ears (probably comparable to Miqo'te ears).

If you can change ear size for Viera, chances are people can make a faux Feol. XIV lore states they look similar to Hyur and Elezen, so that step is already done for people who want to make a Feol.

Edit: do not believe in the picture with Fran and a Feol Viera side-by-side with lore next to them. That's just fan-made lore.

If someone does not add their support in this thread for male viera because of one official (!) artwork on what Viera children would look like then I would really question their resolve a bit. Because if that is the case the OP would need to take out anything that is not official which then again would go against what others would like.

In the end a OP is just a hint at something and not the 100% truth and if someone wants another kind of body type then they can put it in their post.

It’s official art, just of a body type they will never add. There was never any implication adult Viera would look that way, anyway.

I agree, I honestly also never saw this as something we might get but simply how the children of the race could look like.

In the end people could already RP as children by playing Lalafells. No matter how often SE says that they are adult, it does not change the fact that any Lala children we had seen look exactly like the adults. But seemingly that is no problem at all.

Anyways: SE I wanna look at beautiful bunny bois while I go around as a great looking Hrotgar female!

I'm honestly really curious as to how they will do female hrotgar. I would personally like them being like charr, so like the males, but perhaps a few different features, different hairstyles, and maybe a bit smaller. I reeeeeeeeeally hope they don't present us with female miqote part 3

People can ask for what they would like, and argue for those points. Other people can disagree. However, one portion of an overall post or concept deters anyone from support, then you werent that invested in the first place. Particularly if they have a different vision. So if you think Male Viera should be tall elegant, or gruff and rough, but you wont post support because one position of some others want something more cutesy, then you really arent all that invested. It's literally like saying you wont say you wont voice your support for apple juice cause someone likes orange juice. And before the 'ethics' argument, that argument only makes sense when you square away how inconsistent the devs themselves have been on the subject and you acknowledge your position is anything youthful/cute = kids. That is, frankly, a can of worms and can be a topic of it's own (actually it is I think...).

That being said, at this time the simple fact is from what we know, they will be not "youthful or childlike in appearance." Devs have stated as much and explained their position. Thats fine. If people want to have wishful thinking, that is fine, but they have to understand that its not likely to happen. Devs have addressed the position directly. People can voice their gripes about hypocrisy or inconsistency, but regardless that point is moot now.

Tbh I'm glad that the devs are 100% not going to add children bunnies. If u wanna know why search Elin on google

[Yllania]
