Maybe because they are already ingame, I guess.

And don't forget:

Mammalian demi-beastmen (ex. a rabbit-eared race such as the Viera from FFXII, etc.)

They didn't need to choose Viera they arent the only mammalian demi-beastmen in FF to use as an example.

Glad i'm not the only person to pick up on this >_>" I think it's a freudian slip on Yoshi's part, and he will adjust questions in the future. I hate to get my hopes up, but as much as I liked Freya I would be disappointed if we didn't have Viera. I would enjoy seeing both races in FFXIV though.

It would be cool if they made the Ququrins to look more like Freya~

And that the question itself wasn't "do you want Viera?"

And that the answer doesn't mean that Viera will literally be implemented?

lol I was thinking the same thing. "People saw "Viera", didn't read anything else and voted for it.

A textbook case of the typical forum goer... They only see what they want to. Nothing else registers.

Guaranteed that if Viera aren't implemented, but something of the same general description given in the poll is in its place, you're going to see people saying things along the line of "WTF! SE doesn't listen to their players! They asked if we wanted Viera and the vast majority clearly did! But we didn't get them!"

Can't wait to see how it pans out.

Well perfect Miqo'te are in game we could see basicly what a mammalian demi-beastman would look like in the graphics for the game, we could see the type of model it would have been the perfect example, and there would be no bias to get Miqo'te in the game because its already there. The only logic for not choosing Miqo'te for the example is to hint its something they have been looking into, tell me one other reason they would not want to use an example in game so we know what it looks like.

Text book case of looking futher into it, logically they should have used Miqo'te as the example because its in game and for the reasons above, and Yoshi-P's wording in the letter seems to show it was a mistake adding that (possible leak) or something cheeky to add for discussion, to see what the community thought of the idea.

But you're correct about the armor.

Let's not kid ourselves, we all know that Viera will all end up looking like:

Hmm is everyone gonna imgfail for me today?
