Actually Miqote's are the ones that are constantly presented as the more promiscuous of all the races, looks at all the NPC dancers/sexual workers/etc.. 90% of them are Miqote's. And while some Lalas do have some sexual overtone lines as NPC and such, they don't come close as to how many Miqo's I've seen with this behaviour too, but that's just nitpicking.

They are supposed to be adults anyway so I don't really mind, does it comes as weird and creepy when a Lala denotes some sexual interest? Sure, but I just brush it off and keep playing. and we are going waaaay off-topic.

I still want Vieras on the game! I hope they at least give us some glimpse of them if they plan to add them later on with the next exp.

From memory there's the one group of dancers in the Ruby Road exchange, those twins that were taken in by that captain who dresses in the weird outfits, one in the spring that propositions you, the two selling themselves near the Limsa Lominsa docks and I'm sure there's a couple others, but that's all that's coming to mind right now.

Lalafel have one having a wet dream about Rauban in Camp Drybone, Momodi, there's two propositioning a hyuran woman but for the life of me I cannot remember where. There's also Gegeruju. By god is there Gegeruju. He should count as 10 NPCs because there's no one who comes anywhere near his level of hedonism. Men, women, human, beasttribe, all the same to him it seems. Maybe Miqo'te outnumber the Lalafel, but it's definitely not 90% and they're certainly not the most explicit.

I'm not quite sure if he adressed it recently in an english interview, but a few days ago Yoshi-P talked to "buffed", a german gaming new website, about when they will implement a new race.

This is what he said (badly translated by me :rolleyes:): "Currently we're not thinking about [implementing a new race], because a new race means a lot of development effort for us. We're happy with how Au'ra finally arrived in the game and also how their backstory was revealed. Another challenge is the armor. When we want to implement a new race we have to adjust every piece of armor to the races bodytype - that means a lot of work and thus a lot of ressources. So the development of new armor itself means a lot of effort and affects our workload really negatively.
We're not saying that we will never implement a new race though, we just have to really think it through."

I kinda want Lupine from what we saw in Stormblood.

If you're going to introduce a new race, then you better have a pretty good explanation for why we never heard about/saw them for like 70 levels, and also pre-calamity. So this lore aspect could be an even more demanding point to address than their looks. So More jobs and classes and perhaps even play style (apart from crafting gathering fighting and furnishing) would be possible and likely, but a whole new race would be a Final Fantasy core franchise level decision.

Viera would be an awesome addition to FF14, and I know quite a few people who would pick up the game just from seeing them as a playable race!

We know a new race is not gonna be introduced soon but what we asking is that when the new race arrives we would like it to be Viera.

So no news of Viera in new return to ivalice so far. Rip Viera dreams... For now.

Perhaps Yoshida knows that as soon as an ingame Viera is shown people will go apeshit and demand it to be added. Even more. If I were Yoshie-P I would put Viera NPC's into the third "wing" of the Ivalice Raid.

As for the Feet problem: Give them a permanent glamour that shows them "barefoot". Or rather with a default viera shoe. Problem solved.

100% back this up. I think I'd prefer the shorter/more cutesy design because it'd be something a lot more unique. (potatoes are very cute but y'know)

I think you are correct, if Viera were to be seen in the first raid, a part of me would hope that they pull another 2.4 and add a race (instead of a class) for all us. I think adding them in the last wing is probably the wiser choice.

Plus the more removed a race is from humans/hyur, the better. Don't get me wrong I love new toys so I would definitely roll a bunny girl if Viera were added, but I think we need lalas with animal parts for a change. Or animals with human parts.

i saw someone write about last letter " Dalmasca " wtf 0.0

I 'd like to see them as being on average, both male and female, between the height of minimum height Au Ra female and max height Lala male. But make them look adult, have adult features, just smaller

Why not both? Have one clan be a bunch of Rog tall elegant warriors and the other clan be adorable sized bunny cuties. That would hold off race demand for quite a while I think.

Or just invert Au Ra.
Males are tiny Kawaii Uguu moeblobs, and ladies are super-tall Amazons.

Or just make them into wolves ... problem solved.

Glad I'm not the only one with this idea.

Yes, a Viera race would be nice, and should feature both male and female (since I've only seen females in the other games).

viera would be the only race id play other than hyur.

Don't let the dream die !

Would love to see this implemented somehow <3

It's the only race I want to play, and refuse to give up hope! Help us Yoshida! You're our only hope ^^

if the next expansion doesnt see the viera come to eorza i think ill give up hope. the way this dev team work if its too much work they pass on it. And it seems like "fixing" all the show armor in game is seen as too much work

this is a race i would totally love see in the game. go go bunnies!!

Looks so cute

I suppect they will add. they have good chance to be add

Yep, if Viera is not added in 5.0, then I too will give up hope of seeing them added to the game.

Shoeless Viera pls!!

We need a more menacing race to play as added to the game instead of Viera Sausages in a can.

I want the tall elegant warrior females that have been represented through out the series. If the other Ivalice races can be so faithfully be brought in to the game there is no reason why Viera should have any less dedication as Bangaa and Seeq ( to say nothing of actual FFXII Characters).

Why should Viera not get the same treatment? Would it truly be a so wrong to have a playable race identified as tall, elegant, mature warriors, as they are depicted in FFXII (and other titles)?

While on the soap box... I am in favor of the males being made more effeminate this round. While it's not my taste the fact that all males are taller than the females of their own race has been done enough by now. While i detest the idea of the child forms being used (Viera), thee addition of males in a given race being slightly shorter than their female counter parts should be considered. An oppertunity missed with the xaela.

the shoeless could be foot bracers for the Viera instead. i think what really is the issue is and ability change how shoes are to appear on the Viera

And what if the Viera wear ankle bracelets, instead of boots ? The modeling of the braclets I don't think that time consuming.

I'm probably late to this party.. but I'll post my support anyways.

I would love to see the tall Amazonian Viera from FF12 become a playable race. I know we have Elezen and Roe ladies, but after playing one of each I just didn't fall in love. Since FF12 however, I have been in LOVE with Viera. And I am sad to see them called Hyur with bunny ears. They are far from it! But I worry abiut their implementation, things could go the way of the Au Ra. Speaking if Au Ra really quick.. to those who say we could of had something more bestial race; we almost did. Yet we got shafted with the cat people with scales. And it really infuriates me with the direction they took. So that movement seems to fall on death ears for SE, which is really sad because Au Ra concept art was 100 times better then what we have now.

The problem with redesigning the shoes to look drastically different from their 'human' counterparts (just so it works for Viera) is that they might not match the rest of the clothing they were paired up with (especially when it comes to DRG and tank gear).

Another game I play has a race with a foot style very similar to how the Viera would be. They've managed to pull off the armor pretty well IMO. Of course this would take effort on SE's part to design the human template as well as one for the Viera, but it's totally possible. Some examples:

My main is not a cat, so I had to go creeping on people's feeet. This is just what I could find in the small amount of time I had :X

the problem isnt creating new armor for the feet but having to redesign all the current foot gear to fit the new feet. Could they do it? Of course. Will they? That's the question lol

I rather they updated and make all the current race prettier.

SE already said this is not possible, because of some server blablabla issue. For them adding in a new race or hairstyle is alot easier, so I wont be suprised if they add a new race in 5.0.
