Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

At this point we're just running in circles over and over again. Same opinions, same accusations, same excuses. I hope the feedback gathering comes to an end and we get an official statement.

One thing they might take into consideration is that a lot of people like to fantasia. Some people fantasia quite frequently just for variety. New races are all shiny and new and will definitely be popular fantasia targets for a lot of people.

Therefore male Viera and female Hrothgar are technically profitable. Even if they cost extra resources, they could potentially consider it a worthwhile investment. It also gives that "we care about our fans" impression which is great advertisement.

Yup and if they design them with the elezen body type but without its flaws, and of course with the unique Viera traits, it will likely prove to be a popular option, perhaps as popular or more so than catboys or midlanders even.

So I am now beginning to wonder how that feedback observation and response writing is progressing...

Observation: "Oh god, some of them think we're sexist? Why? How?"

Response: TBA

They're still trying to process how they feel about people calling them sexist.

I think... there is a chance that they will answer only after expansion release... Or maybe after benchmark release so after May.

Same here! I am anxiously following this topic, but I do really want them to take as much time as needed to look through all of our comments. I don't mind waiting for the male viera/female hrothgar as long as they give us a quality product.

Imagine if genderlocked races are april fools and we suddenly see the other genders on benchmark xD

Like this post if you want male viera as a playable character

Please add male viera with Omega M's body type or the body type shown in these concept arts




EDIT:
I made an edit to the concept art

I made the shoulders less broad, the neck a tad bit shorter, and removed the fur.

I think this is a good body type for male viera

As long as the male viera are slim, and just a little bit shorter than the female viera, I think that would be cool. The female viera are pretty tall in general, so even if the males are a little shorter, they'd still look cool

I don't want a slender twink bunny man, I want them to actually resemble men. Please either offer a variety or make them look different compared to the slender female.

Hmm they can be twinks and resemble men, there are many men and all of them are different. Roegadyns resemble men as much as catboys
