Also, also, as others mentioned its most(ly) noticable in the two more popular face/horn types, one of which I'm (and you are) using.

Do note that this is only concerning the face. The body language is very cutsey and feminine in the japanese sense.

I don't mind the forward horned face too much, but that weird one with the big horns that are really.. the horns look ugly and the face is.. weird. :p

It's certainly pretty blah when every female character I see looks exactly the same. Same face, same hair, etc., so it will be nice to see some fresh faces. And taller women. Ones that don't look like teenagers or kids. Ones that my character wouldn't have to strain his neck just to look down at.

I have played as every single female race except for roe, and lalafell. I actually quite like elezen in particular, whenever I play around with making alts just to see how they look in-game elezen is actually usually my favorite choice. If you have the right outfit combination, elezen can look great.

I also have my viera in my signature, you aren't referring to me right?

My race is not the popular one, it is the sun seeker that are popular, not us moon keeper. However, I am just curious to see how many ppl will switch to Viera, since it have been a high demand on forum, yet, it turn out to be not the Viera some ppl want

My eyes may look dead, but not as dead as whoever is boiling in that pot over there <3

You see, I actually do sadly get emotional attachments to my pixels, I am always bouncing between my Au Ra and Miqo'te, however I like Viera more than both, so I am hoping that Viera will finally end my Fantasia addiction. Maybe I have been bouncing because I hadn't found something quite right for me yet, and I feel like Viera is right :D

I won't. My cat will stay a cat. But I will probably create my first alt as a Viera.

Nice hat btw. ;)

Fake news!

Thought about a viera as alt, but don't think that I will like them. I REALLY hate their ears! They're so unnatural stiff. They move not an inch even in an emote. That's made really bad. Miqo'te have so much more emotions and show that with their ears. Don't know why viera only have movement in their ears in the full render trailer.

I was excited to fantasia into a Viera when they come out, but I like to put glasses on my characters, and after pondering the logistics of how the glasses are supposed to stay on their face with their ears being on the tops of their heads... Well, I'm having second thoughts now. :confused:

Not any less ridiculous than glasses on Miqo'te or earrings on Au Ra, tbf

I've always known Au Ra to be strange, but now I know they're scary as well.

Viera will inherit Eorzea.

Let the culling commence!

I went from Miqote to AuRa and now to Viera and i think ill stay as Viera.
Gets me when the Viera character model looks better and cleaner than every previous race.
I hope they focus on updating the models of the previous races next,cause several people i know are switching to Hrothgar/Viera due to that as well~

Neither cats nor bunnies can put on headphones, so they both fail... ;)

I mean, you could pretend...

Bunnies are ok, but they're a passing fad. Kittykats have been, and always will be, in fashion.

I don't know what you mean exactly. But I hope they don't change the existing characters. I like mine as they are.

Well least viera look far more womanly.

The amount of womanly looking, non lolita miqote I seen over the years, I can count on one hand.

So all sounds good to me.

*Head Graze*
There ya go, your moment of silence.

It amuses me that no one has noticed "Silenece" yet.

Oddly enough, I just noticed it before I entered the thread just now.

I've been in and out of this thread a bunch of times, but it took me this long...

I've been on the internet since AOL was new. I'm numb to 90% of typos at this point.

So we're getting an influx of rabbit people, right?

I need to make a MCH alt and name him Elmer Fudd.

You mean this?

I make so many of them I just don't notice them myself either. I'm known on my discord for this...

I noticed it the whole time, with my cold, dead eyes.

I thought I'd get reported for "harassment" if I brought it up though, so I thought twice. :o

You know, I really am not sure if miqo'te will take the biggest hit. It may be au ra.

It's mainly with Miqo's and Lalas they have some very proud players.

You betcha it's been like years wanting to play tall female but couldn't because tried fem Roe and it was laugh so hard on the 1st day with a fem Roe alt, well 2nd day was called she-hulk, she-male and the list goes on...

Than tried out the hyur the bigger one same situation, NOW I CAN FINALLY PLAY A TALL FEMALE WITHOUT DERP NAME CALLING, THANK YOU SE! jeeeeeehhh

Well, looks like it is official. I am NOT switching to viera. I cannot afford the fantasia. Life has drained the bank account, my mother still has to get her medication too, super broke. :( Au Ra life it is! Hopefully, SHB has some cool headgear so I don't feel so bad! :)

I'm not sure you're using lolita in the correct way. Lalas would be the only race that even comes close to that.

Sure thing, Bugs Bunny. I mean, Bugs liked to dress up as a lady kinda often. just sayin...

Yoru will always be kitteh!

Now that alt Im considering making...

Was femroe for like 2 years. Before that was mooncat from 1.0 onward. I wasnt interested in viera until I saw their animations and made one. But, while I love their animations, their ears appear to be stiff as boards. If their ears dont move at all, what's the damn point of even having them?

I'm more than likely going to be one of those that tries viera for like 30 days and then go back to mooncat.
