        they’re the sexy bunny girls, depicted in the game as being all female. the game doesn’t specify the gender of any of the characters though, so their genders are all indeterminate. the humes (games word for humans) are all depicted as kind of masculine, other than one or two special characters, and the viera are all depicted as feminine. the moogles (little people like the one talking), bangaa (lizard (nonpejorative) people), and nu mou (round people) dont have a clear gender expression one way or the other.

        one could infer that all the races have achieved a perfect lack of sexual dimorphism, implying the existence of both male and female viera. but thats less fun than a whole species of sexy bunny girls. i choose to believe theyre half trans women and half cis women, which allows them to reproduce, and theres no males at all. you may choose to die on this hill or a variation of it.

        I first saw the Viera when I played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and they were all ladies, which made for some really good yuri-society fanfic! And then Final Fantasy XIV introduced Viera boys. (I guess they were always implied, and they just never showed up on screen before, but phooey, I say!)

          oh, the universe ended before FFXIV because i don’t want to pay for an online subscription. FFXIV is therefore noncanon, therefore no male viera. weird how that works.

            Tbf you can play the base game and first 3 expansions entirely for free with no subscription; even if you just do the main story it’s a couple hundred hours of gameplay. For 95%+ of required instanced content, you can choose to do them with other players or with story-relevant NPCs.

            EDIT: And there are no male viera in that particular content 😝

              i dunno. it still sounds a little risky. maybe i’ll pay someone to play it for me and pretend i did and post my leaderboard on twitter.

              also i misread your username as PumaStoleMyButt and i motion it needs to be that
