Yup, and in the FF franchise they were :
- Recurring ennemies
- minor character
- Summon
Never was playable, probably never will.
Viera :
- Fran, main character of FFXII (or at least a secondary but playable character)
- Playable race in all FF tactics game.
Its not that much a fight about Lupin VS Viera, its about Lupin being a huge problem to deal with to being a playable race, technically, lore wise and money wise.
Whatever float your boat, fuel it with delusion but I'd put my head to cut that Lupin will never be the next nor a playable race EVER because logic apply and logic say its too much work for sh**ty return on investment.
One of the main problem with the Viera are their feet as said by director Yoshida himself, with this information in mind can you even imagine the number of problem Lupin will cause for being playable ?
