Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

If they don't stray far from this bit of concept art, then I will be content:



It puts them somewhere between Au Ra and Highlander men in terms of their bulk without being too large. Their faces are also distinct with the option to be handsome or rugged in a way that also makes them look different to the other playable races. Add in a muscle slider to account for a little more customisation and it'd help appeal to a great number of players.

I would be very pleased with this. The ear options shown are also quite nice with backwards and forward facing ears.

Two male vieras spot a lalafell trespasser.

I think this is the best thing I’ve seen all day.

Kinda funny how whenever anyone mentions Viera guys shouldn't be pretty and delicate people jump onto Roes. Gurl, even we know we're cartoonishly big, no one is asking for a Roe with bunny ears *ignoring my glamour* but I digress.

I don't care much about their physical look as long as their mannerism don't contradict what little we know of them.

Sesshomaru is a very beautiful man, but he could -and would- kill you before you can even blink, exactly how male Viera are supposed to be portrayed as.

On the contrast, someone like, say, Viktor, is pure eye candy, and wouldn't last a week in the woods. This is the kind of Viera that literally are left to die for not being fit to be wardens.

I don't know, Pandaren in WoW are the most agile and strongest of all the races, they can easily jump from tree to tree with ease and not make a sound. I love how their animations! Lots of casual backflips and they are basically dancing in their attack animations.

One build for chunky male Viera, who now that i'm imagining it sounds pretty cute.
Another build for a more Lithe Male Viera too.

We need more chunky races since right now we have a grand total of Zero.

Also I suspect MViera's to drop down from trees and snap someone's neck with their thighs, we need more races with actual thighs instead of sticks.




DOn't bring up that HORRIBLE word, I hate fujoshi's with a passion.

I get that you want more thick races and yes it's sad that we got none, but male Viera are just completely out of the picture for that, specially after Yoshida said they're like elezen and matsuno said they got 0% body fat. I guess maybe u should hope for fatqote limited race or weight slider. I myself wouldn't mind having some irl looking characters in a world of supermodels and hulks

I hope Yoshida doesn't dwell on this too much and just uses the concept art they made of them.
The more we simmer over what male Viera should look like the worse it gets, expectations are flying all over the place. All I want the devs to know is that when they showed us the Viera race in 2015 I was expecting male Viera to look like the concept art. When it comes to decisions like this the fans are too divided and too selfish to let the race be what it was supposed to be like.

Those that go against the concept art are muddying the water in my opinion.
All of a sudden it's how close can we get them to look like male Miqo'te, than about how close can we get them to look like male Viera as a counterpart to female Viera

Oh I think we all support the devs vision for male Viera and this is just to show support for their implementation on 6.0,so the devs can see just the (huge) amount of ppl that want male Viera in the game, but it isn't to get it as we'd like ourselves or to force them here before 6.0

[zeylos]

Hmm I think many ppl want something like this right?

I wouldn't mind it honestly, but I'd like male viera to be thinner/slimmer than that. That is like a higlander with bunny ears

[Lauront]

As I said before, I like that, however that's the kind of body I envision for my Au Ra over anything else. I doubt they'd go for anything quite that muscular for Viera, but neither would I say no. It's a really nice build.

Tad bulkier than them even, but just before the threshold where it becomes "too much", IMO.
