Viera Race "Confirmed" for 5.0! Are you gonna change races?

If they are a small race, then probably not. If they are tall and elegant like their predecessors, then yes.

How is that not a good idea? A lot of people expect it to be that way, XII's design is pretty cool. Just look at Fran. If anything, people (obviously not all...) complained that Au Ras didn't end up as the original concept art. We have enough "cute" races, we need more diversity.

Maybe they do have a bit more diversity with the subraces here. Like have a smaller one and a larger, fierce one.

First off, are we even sure that the new race is Viera? Just saying that for all we know it could be another similar-but-not-really race.

If it is Viera. As long as they're taller than the Miqo'te, I'll be happy (My one and only major disappointment was that the Auri women were shorter).

There's the Feol Clan from Revenant Wings.

As long as the men have nice face presents and good animations I will change in a heartbeat.

People will complain if only a small portion of the population plays the new race. Especially when Yoshi says it's the last race to be implemented. There will be pressure on the devs to add a new race then. Best solution would be to do it like what they did with Hyurs.

Not switching. It would be weird to suddenly change my character's appearance. I will be making a Viera alt once they come out though

My fantasias are ready.
