While I wouldn't change from my dragon girl, I'd love to see some Viera in game! Mature or cutesy, both variants are nice!

I'm always game for more races (equally up there for extending the customization of current ones), but they should always have their own distinct feel - even if its very minor. The small "cute" ones would just be clashing with the lala's, and if they toned down the original variant, it would just be another Miqote type. In FFXI (oh crap i mentioned it) the Mithra were much more wild looking and fit the theme of Kazham/Elshimo; Even the slight changes made for miqote makes them look much more docile for lack of a better term. So if the Viera took that role here, at least they would fill a different theme.
Edit: What also helped were the race specific animations.... Elvaan were high-school wannabe cool guy with mix of stout elegance, Mithra more pronounced and active in their movements, Galka lumbering with a forceful feel, and so on. -

Previous thread is at 86 likes which is far more than this thread has: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-a-possibility
Anyway, your character reminds me of Tom Cruise. -
11-12-2016, 07:28 AMSennBut that thread was made during August of last year. I made this thread yesterday and I already have nearly half the likes of that other thread. I assume this is so because in that particular viera thread, they want a different type of viera that strays a bit from the concept art. I guess this may seem like a copy thread, but I strictly want a viera that is closer to the concept art, and I felt it was important to make that distinction. Furthermore, this is strictly a support thread. I want people to be able to post viera pictures here, maybe even show us their own fanart. Perhaps talk about how viera would be incorporated in ffxiv lore. I want to generate talk about viera.~Quote:

Rabbits are known for burrowing. Perhaps since we're going to a desert, there could be a great sprawling metropolis buried beneath the sand built by Viera? Rabbits can be found in all climates after all, no need to limit them to woods like the miqote were.
-
11-12-2016, 07:34 AMSennThat would be very interesting. I sort of like the idea of a desert rabbit. Maybe one subgroup can be from the desert, and the other from the forest? Or would both subgroups be from the desert?Quote:

So basicly the number of likes does not (unless lucky I guess) change the outcome unless SE already had plans for it. -
11-12-2016, 07:42 AMThunda_Cat_SMASHPersonally, I was thinking that there'd be one arctic race and one desert race, with the small cute ones being the arctic ones for ease of heat conservation and the taller, fiercer looking ones being desert hunters and scavengers.Quote:

11-12-2016, 07:47 AMThunda_Cat_SMASHThat's because no one expects the arctic expedition! ...Did I do that right? Bad memes aside, that's one idea I had. I do love the idea of a race having ornate underground cities, and since rabbits are known to burrow, that was the first thing that came to mind. After all, we're going to All Mhigo, but nothing says there can't be an underground city somewhere nearby, right? XDQuote:

I can see the taller ones and the shorter ones being two different clans if they become the new race.
-
11-12-2016, 08:21 AMNestamaIf we're to get a short race, it needs to not be cute. Give players who want to play a short race (but hate that the only options are cute/creepy) an option.Quote:

11-12-2016, 09:29 AMRobbieHJust because people disagree with what you like they're toxic and get things off-track? ...Okay.Quote:

To those claiming "discussions" against the implementation of a Viera race being relevant in a thread titled Viera as the next new race~ Show your support: (taken from the posted general rules post, point number 1) Please keep all posts on topic. Making off topic posts will only cause confusion and miscommunication. When you create a new thread, please do not mix multiple unrelated topics into a single thread. Instead, please create an individual thread based on each topic.
When one presents their views, it is often with proof that you are intelligent enough to read the title of the thread and comprehend its meaning. Post arguing against Viera in This thread show otherwise.
In support of Viera,

11-12-2016, 09:49 AMSigmaOZI don't care at all about your blabbering, I just don't like "Burmecians" or any other ugly race, if you like the beast kind maybe this game is not for you!...Quote:

11-12-2016, 09:56 AMEvergreyYou didn't stick to the topic either. Instead of showing your support for the Viera you went off-topic and posted something completely different from what the topic wants you to post.Quote:

Maybe you should make a new thread with the topic about how people should stick to the topic and the topic alone when posting.
I know. I'm just being a prick now. =P -
11-12-2016, 10:13 AMEvergreyHmm... You were supporting the rules about how posts should stay on topic.Quote:

And further down the line by making people only post good things about the Viera it is supporting the topic.
But you yourself didn't support the Viera directly, as the topic say you should.
So in the end you didn't stay on topic.
But don't feel bad. No one's perfect. We still love you. ♥
Edit
editing your post and adding a picture and a few words is a little too late to prove me wrong. ;) -

Something like a slightly younger version of the Midlander Hyur option would be a nice change.

11-12-2016, 01:21 PMKyuuenAttempting to shut people down again because you dislike their opinions.. this is new and exciting. Regardless what the OP requested, a topic posted in "General Discussion" is free to be openly discussed, whether for or against the OP's vision, whether it be a welcomed or unwelcome thought. You; nor the OP, get to decide if people against the idea get to post in the thread. Deal with it.Quote:

Yes indeed on a smarter note, if you paid any attention; which clearly you haven't, I'm not speaking out against Viera... only said that we don't need them in 4.0. Add them when it better makes sense along with ANY new race. We don't need another 2.0 story of the Domans "We showed up here because our country blah blah blah."
Add another race when we get further from Eorzea.. not when we're going to the neighboring country.
I'm aware it was. Welcome to General Discussion.Quote:

I give support, as long as there are the two tribes, the normal viera, and those midget ones too :)
And male viera. Please no one gendered race. -
11-12-2016, 06:14 PMNestamaSo basically, no one is allowed to voice their disapproval. Got it.Quote:

Everyone here has to pay a sub to be able to post, everyone has the right to give their opinion, welcome to "internet forums".
If you go to the Lodestone there's plenty of characters named after Freya or using a variant of it, so there's plenty of people who like Burmecians.Quote:

11-12-2016, 10:53 PMDeadRiserSome people like Viera for their aesthetic, the lore that surrounds them, their voices, etc. Not simply because they are human with bunny ears. They'd be a tall race that is proportional and elegant.Quote:

Not exactly a Viera but a rabbit/human race nonetheless

The Lyn race sometimes go from creepy to cute if you use the character creation right they can look like average teens, just with with anime-ish eyes. Viera for all! X) -

No thank you, we already have enough of this in game. IF it means taking away other resources, like, for example..updating character models (or giving us back our 1.x models) or expanding upon current character creation..HELL NO.
Haha I remember Yoshida did NOT want to share these concept designs...
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/the-...n-sense/.91021 (at the bottom)
I mean sure, you never know but...this would be extremely boring if they added this in ._. just my two cents...Quote:
A couple months ago, you showed off the new race, the Au Ra… but you also showed concept art of the Viera, who appeared in Final fantasy XII and other games. Why did you decide against their inclusion as a playable race?
The issue with the Viera is that, if you look at them, they're basically humanoid save for their long rabbit ears and their heels. We already have a mostly humanoid race with animal ears in the Mi'qote. When we looked at those initial Viera concepts, it just seemed like a Mi'qote with bunny ears instead of cat ears. It simply wasn't different enough. Especially when we did the male designs… they didn't look beastly enough, they were just a little too cute. We wanted to make something that was original to the Final Fantasy series, and to do that, we decided to step away from the Viera.

11-13-2016, 02:42 AMKurogaeaOnce again, whats wrong with both? No ones stopping them from one thing or the other. Quit making it one or the other. -_-Quote:
