Oddly enough, a lot of Elezen females made the switch because of just that. Viera are bunny eared Elezen with better proportions. For people who wanted a tall, elegant race, they now have that.

I played Miqo'te and Au Ra before I switched to Viera. I never really liked the anime eyeshapes on Miqo'te, and their chubby, rounder faces, the exaggerated emotes, and that they're so darn common.
I didn't like most of Au Ra faces, I used the one with the fins, but I never liked how the lips looked on her, they looked a bit weird.
I personally think Viera look better overall than Miqo'te and Au Ra, and I like their more chill and less cutesy emotes.
I didn't like my voice 9 battle voice at first, but it's grown on me to the point that I kinda love it
Edit:and oops, this comment was supposed to be on the other thread, but it still kinda fits here, so I'll probably re-post it there.
Because I actually DO know dudes who are dudes IRL who make their characters Waifus, and I know there's a large prevalence of those kind of people in this game, and that there are probably a fair proportion of new Viera who are those. I know at least one Viera already who is a dude that makes Waifus. I didn't say that everyone that dresses provocatively are dudes
I am just saying that dudes who make characters for the purpose of being their waifus, and make them scantily clad only for that reason is kinda weird.
It's like "LoOk At My IdEaL fEmALe. I WiSh sHe wAs ReAL"
I mean, it's only kinda weird, not full blown weird, so they don't bother me too much.
That being said, a chick who makes a male character as a Husbando and dresses them scantily is equally kinda weird.
I don't have a problem with women dressing characters however scantily they want. You do you :)
