I'm not sure what "offensive" comments you're seeing... just discussion of what Viera might look like in general.

I looked back through the discussion and the closest thing to anyone being offensive (except not all that close) is actually your previous comment saying you don't like them and you're disappointed.

I hope what we get is closer to Fran than anything else. Though it seems I will be getting what i want, i still feel the art of the smaller Viera is just depicting children. Children should not be a playable option for a number of reasons.

Itergration of the Feol would be a nice middle of the ground compromise i think. Though explaining where the other half of their parentage comes from would/ could be an issue.

At any rate i am very happy for those that have wanted Viera ever since even FFXI, when we only had female Mithra and Male Galka .

If it's a one to one, we may already have an idea.

Easy way might be to have foel as the groups on the edge of Viera territory so have a lot more hyur (or other races) blood in them. Veria will need to a lot less insular as a race to be honest

I really wish they'd gone with the Lalafellish size for Viera rather than probably a straight copy... If you look at all the races height, there's a nice curve from Roe down to female Au Ra, then it just drops to Lalafell... Would have been nice to have a body type that fits in between Au Ra and Lalafell there for varieties sake...

At least Rabbit Elezen will offer some new style of emotes perhaps...

Also I must say, it'll be weird if they do just straight up copy Viera completely... Au Ra is an original race, but with the starting five they once made a point to stress that they were different from the five races in Final Fantasy XI, even though they weren't all that different... New names (Tarutaru became Lalafell) and there were a few cosmetic changes (Galka lost their tails when they became Roe), so to have Viera, called Viera and probably straight up having Fran in the game as a complete clone? Well... It's been a long time since 1.0 and the first races were designed I guess...

I don't think that's quite the right term to be using... and conjures up unpleasant mental images (for me) of them having some kind of high-heel point actually growing out of their foot.

(Organic = relating to living organisms OR organs of the body. Thus suggesting a body part.)

"Naturally-heeled" might be a better phrase (it doesn't bring up quite the same connotations) though the actual term is digitigrade.

I kept having the same image in my head tho and it was terrifying :'D

Oh good. I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that.

We already have Lalafell and arguing they don't appear child like is complete BS. Also maybe your mind shouldn't jump to inappropriate things every time you see a child.

But grats on getting Elezen with permanent bunny ears, will totally add to the race variety we have. /s

I don't think "sexist" means what you think it means.
