Where did the devs state we will be getting a race next expansion?

Rabbits don't have digitigrade feet, they are plantigrade like humans. Cats are digitigrade but the Miqote have normal feet, there is no reason to frankenstein a rabbit based race with features of a totally different animal type.

They are often depicted wearing heels because they aren't digitigrade, if they were then they wouldn't need or have heels. They probably wear heels because they have goofy big rabbit feet or because they're a race of fashionistas.

In the art without heels they are shown to naturally have long flat feet. They also have beastial hands with long fingers and nails. An often overlooked trait is that their lower and upper body are disproportioned, a larger lower body giving the appearance of wide set hips and small torso. This could be a subtle distinctive feature too like how Au Ra's have their weird spine. They can look very unique based on the old games.

I hope they also add Green Mage as well as Dancer.

Games with Viera...
FF Tactics Advance
FFXII
FF Tactics A2
FFXII Revenant Wings
FF Tactics S
Puzzle & Dragons

Only in one game are they like Fran and only Fran is really like Fran. I don't think they should base a race on a single character.



tl;dr viera aren't digitigrade, no reason to make them digitigrade now

Fran is perfection. Id be ok with that >.>

I love the body type for viera the most from XII. But I could accept the other forms if that's what it takes to get viera in the game.

It's just common sense tbh. They can't go on over 2 expansion without a new race. They need to keep hype going. Would be a disappointment if they don't add a new one. Knowing that a lot of people are already requesting new races.

It's not much about if the game doesn't "need" one, It's more about from a business and target point of view. $$$

Good point! I'm really not too familiar with any FF titles outside of XI and XIV, and hadn't realized they crossed so many titles. I mainly know Viera as Fran. Also, I love a good pear-shape! I'm down with a pear-shaped flat-footer.

Lotta things people say that if they did would make them more money, FP is currently bolstered with one such topic, doesn't guarantee they will do it.
