Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Theodric]

No offense, but this is much more of a you issue. To assume others are being "creepy" in regards to requesting smaller or cuter male Viera is entirely your perception that you are unfairly putting on people. There are equally, if not more, options for people who want buff and manly options, especially now with Hrothgar.

That being said, I'm an advocate for the type of male Viera that Yoshida has suggested.

At no point have I suggested that everybody requesting such things is 'creepy'. I specifically stated that some of what was being proposed is easily considered to be creepy. Are you of the belief that nothing inappropriate has been posted or requested earlier on in the thread? Even though some of the more inappropriate posts and artwork have since been removed?

I don't believe the number of people requesting slim, very feminine/androgynous and child-like Viera men is actually all that high. It just so happens that the posters pushing for it are very vocal and persistent.

We all got our preferences but wish for the same thing, unlocking genders. It doesnt matter whatever each of us wish, they simply cannot make everyone happy. They didnt manage with mHrothgar and fViera either.
This thread isnt only about male Viera, but unlocking genders.
So saying, just because if they wont be as your ideal image and them rather not being added, sounds rude to me as well. You are free to post fanart of Viera men, discuss it and support it as much you like, but you cant interfere how the artist or creator envisions them.

I'd rather see male viera as androgynous. I don't want them buff.
Yoshi P described male viera as slim, handsome, and elegant. I like the sound of that description. It doesn't necessarily mean they will be androgynous, but it does mean they will most likely be slim, and I am happy with that.


edit:
Like this concept art

Although I would prefer without the chest hair personally... Perhaps give us an option to do without it, or a slider.

Lore has more meaning than silly fan service.

Oh is that why we don't have that many male miqote roaming around? Oh wait.

Male viera don't have to be extremely short. If they're around the same height as the females, that's fine. Also, I don't think there's anything weird or creepy about the concept art I just posted. Again, Yoshi P said that if they implemented male viera into the game, they'd be slim. We don't know for certain, but female viera appear to be using an elezen base model, so the males will probably use an elezen base as well, just a bit altered.

I can see how this can look kinda creepy but it would look fine in game with option
Of changing skin color
Just how first guys drawn.

Disclaimer: I never play males so male Viera means nothing to me.

That said isn't the "lore" reason for Viera the same as the one for miqo'te? The one that was ignored to allow the players to play males anyway? The way I see it, the Galka had some reincarnation thing going on right? They die, they come back. They have no need for females(or males for that matter) because they didn't really need to reproduce. In lore and in game female Galka didn't exist. On the other had in lore Mithra/Miqo'te did have males you just couldn't play them(1.0 for Miqo). If the Viera were like the Asari, as in they legit had no males at all, I could understand it somewhat I guess. The Asari had to use other races to mate after all. In lore no "male" Asari exists. Male Viera do exist though but are "rare"(the same thing said before about male Miqo). Never mind the player is the exception to most rules anyway(90% of the class quests as well as the only champion of hydelan) so why is players being male Viera any different then male Miqo?

None of this matters if they add the other genders later on and lacked the time/funds to do so now though. It isn't like I want them to drop everything even if Id love to play a female Hrothgar, as I tend to like more beastlike races with female Roe style bodies.

Still, I support male Viera being added even if i would never make one.

I'd rather have them similar to the concept art as well but I'd be fine with anything they come up with really.

I think the child-like Viera Theodric is talking about is the concept art of the Viera children, which has been requested to be playable.

Even though I never plan on playing Viera (especially with Hrothgar being a thing), I would hope SE never make the males look like children. That's a big no thanks from me.
