Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Komarimono]

Think we can mostly agree won't be getting Male Viera anytime soon if ever though. Nothing recent posted about them other then the time needed to invest into something and the cost. People saying 6.0 are just being wishful, since nothing official has been said in that regard. So for now, this threads really just become a wish list of features wanted I feel, if they ever were to be put in game.

but is it really a problem that people are optimistic about them

It is, in a sense, especially when spreading rumors that are lies. Doesn't help really. All we can do is wait, and wish. If they feel the need to add them, we'll know then, so no point really in asking and begging.

You do realize that's literally how we got the male bunny suits, right? by doing exactly what we're doing now, "asking and begging". That kind of "Just give up" attitude serves no purpose. It's a thread on a forum, it ain't hurtin' nobody. Change doesn't happen by being silent; never has, never will.

If you want to hope in silence, then that's cool, you do you, but trying to demoralize people in an attempt at showing them how fruitless you perceive the efforts are isn't helping.

A bunny suit is far easier to implement then an entire race. You know that, we all know that. That's simply a texture UV map and mesh re-model of a few items. Yoshi has already said adding another race, in this case two genders for two races, is quite complicated and time consuming.

Doesn't retract from the fact people are in this thread, and others, spreading lies about males coming out, which we know for a fact as of now, they are not.

The male version of the bunny suit wasn't exactly added in a satisfying manner in the eyes of many. It was just a straight up copy of the female version.

As for male viera, the current official situation is that it could go either way. They may be added to the game. Equally so, they might not. I'm not holding my breath for them to be added anytime soon.

if not for the feedback regarding the lack of male miqote and female roegadyn we might have never gotten them. never give up and never surrender. there's also quite a few other features that were added thanks to pushback on here

Yes, and at the same time they said they would consider it. People voicing an expectation about them coming in 6.0 is not lying. Claiming Yoshida said they will be added would be a lie. Who is claiming that, though? Even if some people did make such claims, those met with such comments should have enough critical thinking ability to ask for the source.

Would you have a source of them stating they would consider it? I've yet to find anything in my searches, other then Yoshi stating they were considering male Viera, but instead wanted to implement a beast race in the form of Hrothgar from player feedback during testing and discussion.

well actually Hrothgar was the first in development because they felt a beast race was needed
so it was either Female Hrothgar or Female viera and they chose viera because of the demand
