    Miqo'te Character Creation (Viera Tribes)

    Didn't see any other post about the character creators and I didn't want this to get lost in the "New Race" type of ideas. But I really got to thinking since a lot of people wanted Viera (not really a big fan but whatever), what if it were just another option in the Miqo'te character creation process of ear/tail length? It wouldn't be hard to add something like this into the Lore of the game since Eorzea is just a small part of the world, could even be another tribe somewhere that are born with longer ears and their rituals involve optional circumcision of the tail.

    Some people are going to say Viera aren't Miqo'te but, Miqo'te aren't exactly Mithra now are they. I'm not saying that this is an answer or something we'd see at the beginning of 2.0 (or at all) but maybe around when they did decide to add a new race, because to tell the truth I'd be a little displeased if Viera was a whole new race in it's own because that's all I would see it as, a Miqo'te with long-ears. As for armors only thing I really see would be slightly different head designs for some of the pieces.

    So to get to real question, mainly for the Viera fanboys out there:
    How would you feel if they snuck this into the character creator making them another Miqo'te tribe? Anger? Or can you dig it?

    Actually...this is perfect solution. It imitates the viera AND saves a character slot for a REAL race addition.

    Make them a new race or leave them out. Reguardless of similarities, Viera and Miqo'te are two different races. A rabbit tribe of cat people? huh!?

    I think Yoshi already said "No Viera!" because the male versions would be strange/difficult to do.

    And the bunny tails and long lifespans? Because viera fans will want more than just an offshoot.

    Rather not have pseudo races myself. Let's give Roes dark green skin, huge chompers and then call them lizard men...Nah.

    No matter what they do Viera won't be Viera, they'll have their own Lore and doesn't have to match Viera Lore because for the same reason this isn't Vana'diel it isn't Ivalice, it's Hydaelyn.

    Then why taunt the whole thing with "viera" skins?
