I'd personally count Au ra women as short, they just seem middling because Lalafell are a thing imo.

I realize this thread is kind of old, and things may have changed since the original posting date, but I would still like to give support for the concept behind this new race.

Everyone has different tastes. Some people can't stand the lalas, some people hate the M'qotes, and so on. Introducing this new race would be great, as it would coincide with the current events taking place in the world of Final Fantasy Tactics. I love the idea of using both concepts as you stated with the Hyurs, where we have Highlanders and Midlanders; beefy men and women, and the more delicate.

The Viera would be a wonderful addition to the pallet of options we currently have, and something new to enjoy. This is the world of Final Fantasy, and the creations of the brilliant minds of seasoned Japanese artists behind it. Stepping outside of that would ruin everything. So, more power to this idea! Haters will be haters, even though they know they love it and are too proud to admit it.

196 pages of this thread.. yeah im pretty sure SE can’t not add Viera.

Face it, it’s likely to happen.

And there will be much much more pages to come

They are a pretty quintessential race in the FF universe

SE could just make male Viera look like the bunny moogles from Ivalice. They're cute as buttons!

My main issue with Viera is that they're just not unique in design and it doesn't help we got Au Ra first (even less so after seeing the concept art). Humans with animal parts. So fascinating.

I'll give them a pass if SE can release them with their 'beast feet,' as that could mean SE might be able to make beastmen races playable someday, but if they can't do that, then I'll hate them as much as I hate the Au Ra :T

I was a supporter of the addition of Vieras but, when I see what we saw in concept art for Aura and what we got........I'd rather not have a Viera than a Wallmart Viera :/

Not really? They have only ever appeared in games that involve Ivalice, and even then Ivalice isn't THE setting of this game compared to Tactics and XII. Humans and Moogles are the only races that are guarenteed to show up in some form and not always as a race/sentinant being in the case of Moogles.

Don't take this as being against Viera being added. Nuetral to that myself. But Viera aren't that important to the FF series.

female Au Ra are the second shortest in the game, and female Miqo'tes are a close third.

Unless there's a height difference between the lala genders...

I need Viera to be tol ladies, pls. Taller than their male counterparts, at least for one clan.
Plus who doesn't wanna see some cute shortie boys running all over the place with bunny ears and a little butt floof?
