Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Theodric]

Steve Fox from Tekken has a boxer's physique. I'd love to be able to play Viera as handsome and muscular as him:



I'd feel very safe if he was defending me!

Since they're a thing, they can just set the minimum below the females' and you can make yours short. Problem solved.

This literally doesn't make any sense. How is it "problem solved"? I said I want it below Miqote males.

Right, then make it below that. Problem solved.

Yoshi-P also said they would be tall

Sauce please?

I don't want there to be any weird height disparity between the two genders Perhaps you should stick to playing a Miqo'te or even make the jump over to a Lalafell if you wish to embrace that particular aesthetic?

Thanks for the link

I don't have a link to hand, though Yoshi-P explained that child-like Viera are not going to be a thing in one of his recent official statements. He stated that there's no guarantee that they'll be added, though if they are they'll be along the lines of Elezen.

Elezen are tall and we can infer that he is referring to the likes of Haurchefant and Aymeric rather than Alphinaud for obvious reasons. The only short Elezen we have seen have been children after all and that is the aesthetic Yoshi-P wishes to avoid.

I believe this is from the interview when Yoshi-P said they'd basically be like Elezen Males. This might not mean height and more their physique. I guess the add on from this is that elegance - which is what Yoshida wants them to be like; is usually linked into those who are tall. While this isn't always the case, in fiction a lot of writers describe tall women/men to move with elegance - perhaps due to the long legs and their stride? Of course, it's also linked into those who move with a strict grace - which is also elezen. So it could be linked into that and again, not their height.

Since boxers were brought into this. Boxers tend to be tall; with the average height for a boxer being around 6ft or something. Though the smallest class for a boxer is around 5'5 which is still taller than a miqote.

I don't think Mugear mentioned wanting a childlike appearance. From what I understand he just said he wanted them to be shorter than miqo'te.

Isn't Steve a bit too muscular compared to the description though? lol Just like most Tekken characters.
