Dwarf is more of a final fantasy staple than Viera. More interesting as a race too, seems like a no brainer.

Boom, Viera.

Yes, because being the loudest voice in the room obviously means that you are the majority. This thread has been very divisive at times, with many posts of those 180 pages saying no to Viera.

That could be another option, but it need not be the only one. In a world of magic, where cities can fly, dragons fight invading armies, and curses can change an entire population into a sentient monstrous form, the limitations are endless. The idea of a parallel world hiding a group of people would be fascinating. It could also play up a culture of mysticism and illusion that is ingrained and uniquely theirs, something only mentioned in passing with Roegadyn Hellsguard.

Though i will conceded the point having them from a newer less explored area could open up said placement for all matter of lore, the sad fact is there is much still to see in Erozea. Abalathia's Spine was never truly fleshed out being that we went every way but through it and had not an iota of lore Hellsguard or otherwise. Matter can be changed but never completely destroyed. The west shroud still exist, as does portions of Coerthas, there was more to Xelphatol than just a single dungeon, ect...

I would love to see the Viera honestly would be awesome to see them show up close to end game. I would fantasia so fast on my old main it'd make heads spin.

bunnies are my favourite animal!!! i only played tera online bc i could bea cute bunny girl and the combat was good.

Let me be a bunyn girl ffxiv <3 i know it's not gonna happen, but still itd be nice!

Personally, I'd say no to this because
1) theyd essentially just have a slightly altered miqo'te model.

2) we have enough cutesy/ pretty races imo. I'd rather have something more beastial. So I'd rather them spend time on working on armor riggings for a new beasty playable race than have them give us another hyur with animal parts race and a new job.

Never going to happen.
Too much effort/work for the Dev Team.

I'd like to see them in FFXIV. Yes. But soon? No.

If they are implement them in like... 5.0? That means that we will not get any improve in our character creator. Which makes me sad.

Also... We already have miqotes and elezens. I will not allow any cute Viera.
I want a tall and slim Viera like FFXII, if they can't give me that... it would be better don't do anything. I mean REALLY. We EVEN already have tiny lizzards girls. I'm done with the cute thing ALWAYS.

I want a race that can't be pretty, at least not in the conventional sense.

Keep up the good fight for Viera! We had to do the same for male Miqo’te and female Roegadyn. It’s funny how people was against those to but look how many of them are running around now. I support this thread 100% and would buy a Fantasia as soon as they got announced

To piggyback of this, adding more races/gender to the game only adds to the constant growing problems to the Character Creator. Say they add Vieras. They will cut corners to "fit" everything into the current creator. Will you guys accept having the same ear types? Will you accept having the same patterns? Will you accept having them look like humans with bunny ears? That's exactly what's going to happen. The no "High Heel" feet alone is enough to call them a disgraceful adaptation of the race. We deserve a revamp of the Character Creator. You're gonna tell me that adding more options to the current races/gender will "break" or "throttle" the game but adding more races/genders won't? And adding hairstyles on top of that? That's not adding up at all.
