Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Gwenorai]

Of course we're back to the body type discussion. This thread's great when we can stop tearing each other's faces off long enough to have an actual support thread but the moment a single one of you mentions that men have body types it's time to throw down.









Aaand I'm still here to contribute. I said last time I think a tall male Castanic build would be cool. I like the defined musculature with the slender waist and broader upper body. I was rewatching Hunter x Hunter for like the fourth time please help me and Chrollo looks a lot like that imo. I'd def be down for a character model that.

I had to google Castanic build and all I have to say is 'Oh my' -Fanself emoji-

Another rather deceptive post, I see. No doubt due to a lack of willingness to actually address the concerns being raised.

It's not a difficult concept to grasp. You're already playing a character that is very short and feminine. You and certain others have claimed that it is not enough for you and that you want to push the boundaries further -hijacking male viera despite them being described as very different to the aesthetic you're seeking to pursue.

You claim to not want to play a child and yet you're pushing for boundaries to go further and further until you're left with a character that would literally resemble just that.

It's amusing that you seem to be pretending that it's only me raising such concerns, though - others have pointed it out as well and my posts referencing such things have been upvoted too. Not that I put much stock in upvotes to begin with, mind you.

Definitely not bullying

I think the issue here is that people aren't saying it in the thread, they're saying it outside of the thread. And more still because the first post that puts forward the case for male Viera has a child Viera when there is no logical reasoning for it to be there. It's part of the reason why this thread is a walking meme. It doesn't look good when it's the second image in the post. While I respect Senn's right to not edit their posts. That image is frankly very gross. It's a child paired with an adult. Something that the main developer has actually had to come forward and say 'No.' This is what baffles my mind - if the developer says no, why still champion for it. And even if you're not championing for it, the fact it's there just raises questions.

Harumph, I now demand everyone call Viera males, Hareboi and not Bunnyboi - /s
This place needed some good old humour.

What if they went way left field and it was a Jessica and Roger rabbit kind of thing. I would die >_< haha!

Right?? They're absolutely smoking. A shame about the game they come from.

I personally would like to see male viera built like the male Castanic, too. It has a wood elf flavor to me and the Viera are probably the closest we'll get to "wood elf types" in this game.

I mean they basically are already Night Elves ...which are wood elves. Fierce warriors and hunters, protectors of nature, males are sent into the forest while society is run by women etc.

Agreed. I haven't played WoW in years though back when I did I favoured blood elves and night elves. I loved how fierce, masculine and regal they looked. They're also very popular races even to this very day from what I gather, so something along those lines would work exceptionally well in FFXIV. It helped that they had a decent amount of bulk and definition, too.

To be fair to it, fan-service was the one thing it was good at. Look at how fluid the animations in it are.
