I saw how their feet look like in their racial armor and just ouch, looks llike that would hurt so much.

I was kinda hoping that all of their shoes would've been heeled like their racial gear tbh.

Exactly what you said Fenefab!!!

Just one more major disappointment to add to the list of FFXIV screw ups! I just don't know why they led us on about it... First we are told back before HW that Viera will never be added unless the feet can be done correctly! Perfect!

Then we get a trailer showing the Viera for the first time and Hallelujah, they are standing on their tiptoes wearing spiked high heels! Awesome! *squee*

Then we get to see Dancers concept art and what is it, a Viera with what? Spiked high heel shoes on... YES!!!

Then comes the actual gameplay video showing them wearing the new armor sets, what do we see, freakin flat ass feet just like every other race! Are you kidding me?!?!

I understand that you can't go back and remake all of the old foot armor in the game, nor should you, no one in Eorzea even knew they existed untill now. But I find it utterly absurd that all of the new foot armor from this point forward is not made to accommodate them! It doesn't bother me they took the easy way out and have no tails, easy explanation, they are covered up by armor. It only mildly irks me that you can't do a work around for the head armor like you did for the Au Ra... But this feet issue is totally UNACCEPTABLE!!! This is a major element that sets them apart and makes them special! I have never liked the feet armor in XIV... 99% of the sets are flat footed and boring! I just knew that was finally going to change with the release of the tall, statuesque Viera... Such a huge let down!

With the millions S-E makes from subs alone, not to mention MogStation sales, extra retainer cost, and a premium companion app fee, yet something as simple as adding a spiked high heeled version of foot armor can't be done for your PAYING players? Funny how FFXIV has 16 million players and S-E can't, but a FREE TO PLAY game like Tera with a player base so small it was just downgraded to ONE server, can and does, with no problems at all! Really? Truly sad, pathetic, and lazy!

Am I the only one who doesnt give a s#@t about the feet?

This is why we can't have nice things... for women. Now I have to slap on Claws of the Beast glams on all my retainers because nope too scary for the general public. Soft girls, delicate hands much cute giggling.

It’s a MYTH.

Viera have always had flat feet since introduced in ffta. They just wear heals sometimes

This is just something people invented/assumed over time that isn’t actually true and get “disappointed” when it isn’t true.

Pretty Much... To us who want our characters to look how they are SUPPOSED to look, it would be like Miqo'te having human ears and no tails...

I see that going over well...

Viera have always had normal feet, they've just worn very high heeled shoes. They've also never had tails. End of discussion.
