Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

Not sure if people already mention, this thread is too long to check.

It feels like they would have way less trouble if they put another system on the current races or add subraces. Changing all existing gear for a new race is a lot of work, and then you get the unfinished style like on Au'ra.
It could be similar to how WoW allowed humans to go werewolf? and back to human again. There could be unique glamour just for that subclass/transformation of a new job instead of designing everything new. It would allow more races in less time, while not being a full new race with new lore.
I think people would love a real elf class(closer to LotR style), elezen have some of their basic features, ofc some people like it, but for me it is a failed elf class with annoying animation/emotes.

They did an Official Player Poll back before FFXIV ARR even launchedit confirmed Viera as the most demanded and desired playable race.

Viera votes outnumbered everything else.

it's as official as official public polls get. People's race preference then is the same now.

the only thing that came close were mixed races, followed by new clans for existing races,
but they still are greatly outnumbered compared to Viera votes.

Viera has over 50% more votes than reptilian and demi beastmen races

over 70% more votes than wolf/gnoll races



I would love to see Viera added like Alacran has described

And from this concept art

I like the smaller version in the concept art but also think it’s a drastic change between clans.

Same thing happened here in the thread I opened. Viera, Dancer and Butt slider get the overwhelming majority of votes.

Your welcome, also I like then intention of the other linked thread as well. People want Viera they also want more options to customize there character. Hybrid race would work well for the whole third clan thing as well.

It could. Or it could also be a separate option. I wanted to get a clear look at what we really want. If Viera fans are just the vocal minority, we could find proof. So far it seems that as far as new races are concerned, nothing even comes close to Viera.

Agreed. I think they should do another player poll for this and other things that have been mentioned

Mammalian demi-beastmen is what people voted for. Viera was used as an example to give people an idea of what such a race could look like (and despite the poll, "Reptilian" demi-beastmen is what XIV got).

Also it was 2012, when the XIV community was much smaller compared to now. If they did another poll with the same options (though nixing Viera as an example this time), either the end result will remain the same with Mammalian demi-beastmen with a slightly higher vote count, Mammalian demi-beastmen being much higher than the others, or something completely different.

Oh that would be nice. And more comprehensive than me asking the english speaking playerbase.

Hey, Yoshie-P! Coombah had a great idea. Let's make another player poll!

I don't see why viera should be removed from the polling. I would keep the poll the same, but give viera its own category instead of putting it under mammalian demi-beastmen. I think people largely voted for mammalian demi-beastmen because viera was listed as the example, and people wanted viera.
