Overanalyzing Male Viera Emotes | Endwalker Media Tour

[@Tabbycat2701]

As a proud owner of a real life bun, one big foot stomp when they're angry is literally perfect lol. When my boy does it he practically shakes the whole floor.

[@SweetSenkai]

As a slave for 3 buns I'm SO satisfied of seeing that foot stomp.

[@mrmicycle]

Yes they thump when they angy

[@hortehighwind8651]

As a former bun slave yesyes it’s all I wanted.

[@supremeoverlord0]

Right? Angy or scared.

[@callmeobsequious]

THUMP!

[@zippydipity42]

As a catboi player, my only solace is that we still have exclusive rights to ear wiggles.

[@AlexWaff]

Not if hrothgar steal them! You never know, they did say they're making an update to head geometry to allow for faces and hairstyles to work independently, and with it adding many hairstyles (assuming the existing ones) to hrothgar in 6.1... (6.0 for viera I believe)

[@zippydipity42]

@@AlexWaff Then I might just become a big buff hroth. Lord knows my gf would enjoy it, assuming there is no loss of ear wiggles :p

[@TwinBladeGlacier]

I feel like a viera earwiggle would look weird, like the whole ear twitching, maybe lowering for negative emotions

[@cuppapablo]

Ear wiggle is still best emote

[@deviousskylark5767]

9 months down the line and cat boys are still thriving, probably because they are more masculine-looking and actually have a different audience

This is the most crucial information from the media tour.

[@jordanreid2116]

Honestly I love how you react/ interpret race specific emotes and would love to see your take on the other races. Veterans are prolly used to them all by now but as a sprout I'd love to watch

[@santatonic3144]

yes!! id love to see more of this

[@jedimasterpickle3]

I've been playing for 3 years and I'd still watch it. Having never fantasia'd off male Lalafell, I'm only really familiar with that set of emotes, and even then not all of them. Zepla's takes here are very entertaining so it'd be fun to watch her go over other races too

[@Matthew-ij3zm]

Yes! I don't always enjoy Zepla's sense of humor but she was hilarious in this one. It was such a pleasant watch, like an actual 10/10 video. I would definitively watch and share her reactions to other classes emotes.

[@Daniel-qt5ib]

I feel like her biases would be at play though; "Lalafell emotes, and why they're all trash because they're not Viera >:("

[@iResonate]

That would require quite a few fantasias

[@Janzeleus]

[@okanut]

These replies made my day! You people are bunderful.

[@Spookalina]

Their ears don't move! I'd be more inclined to play a Viera if their ears moved. I had rabbits growing up, and their ear movement is essential for reading body language and their disposition. I believe they are fixing Viera hair issues to a degree, and that was another major strike against playing them for me, as well as the lack of hats. I paid a hefty sum for some hairstyles as a returnee, and I want my character to be able to use them. I do find the Viera to be really lovely and elegant, no matter their gender. Male Viera emotes are really great and suit them. Honestly I rarely play male characters as a woman, but the male Viera are sure tempting. They are just so pretty!

[@alex-6203]

I'm glad Zep is here to focus on the things that really matter.

[@LianaSunburster]

"This was the first video I recorded" You know what, I'm genuinely not at all shocked by that fact 😂

[@Enigmaroam]

Me: I don't understand what all the hype is about. Male Viera: hey there! "Wink!" Me: now where did I put my wallet...

[@mrhumanguy3256]

Viera with their sigma male gaze the Intj stare and the Chad stride all in one. Truly the most masculine race

[@virtualawakening2299]

Wut... male Viera are so submissive and dejected... Their emotes best exemplify the submissive males in Japan. (not saying they are all submissive)

[@naif9464]

Virtual Awakening I mean it’s pretty natural considering female rabbits play the dominant position in their life. iirc male vieras only go back to the village to bang and then return to the outskirts protecting them

[@Daggerfall40]

@@virtualawakening2299 i dont know what video you were watching but apart from the grovel emote, non of the other emotes conveyed dejection or submission. If anything, male vieras come off as cool and confident. I don't know how people have tricked themselves into thinking male vieras are submissive. Because the female's are bigger? Please, if anything that's a sign of conquest. They literally live apart from their villages to hunt and patrol and only show up when they wanna bang and then dip. They don't stick around and simp.

[@Tyberes]

I MAY have bought the play dead emote to emulate a flop.

Actually, when a bunny stomps their foot it either means they're really pissed, or it's a warning to back off. And yes, that is the best /welcome ever. Fluffy and destructive pink Miqo'te for life :3 I can't not have my fluffy fluff tail

[@zanmato3103]

Yes! I never got that cartoon thing about them doing it when excited. Had many rabbits growing up and it is a clear indicator they are not a happy bunny.

[@Theo-hj2pl]

Yep! Stomping means you've got yourself a very grumpy bun.

[@virtualawakening2299]

I suggest aggressively approaching bunny boi and groping him abusively. He'll cave instantly and be your eternal servant. His emotes say so.

Zepla, you're by far the best FFXIV content creator. This video was one of the most important videos anyone could have made. I'm looking forward to joining all the bunny boys in Eorzea soon!

[@teejpalps]

You can tell, based on how often Zepla's hair (hare) was messed up in different ways throughout this video, that she was just going absolutely NUTS over all of these emotes! I can literally picture her freaking out over how amazing the male bun is before every take! I want to fantasia into a male bun, but i also don't want to be lost in a sea of bun bois for the first month lol

[@Prism_Heavy]

Do it! Due to the Viera limitations, they will be weeded out within the first 2 months. I have been playing femViera since ShB dropped and I didn't care about the millions of femVieras and now I hardly see any. They will be more common when they fix the hair/hat/helmet issue but I'd say go for it man. The sea will dry up quick
