The odds of SE treating the clans like Midlander and Highlander are pretty low, in my opinion. It's pretty much making two of the same race.
I'd be fine with it if SE give all the current races a third clan that are noticeably different first, though (would be neat to see a third Au Ra clan look like their original concept art).
Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

i still hold out hope for these:

which looks more like the top left of this

then the viera from ff12, after playing zodiac age the viera shown in that game are literally the elezen with bunny ears and sharp fingers, while the Humming way is a old one time used race that could use some love, i mean they did bring back the lupin which was a one time use for werewolves. -

Honestly I wouldn't get excited for Viera or any other 'human with superficial animal features' race, and in general would prefer another new race rather than grabbing races from older games. But if Viera get in I won't be upset and flipping tables either.

10-06-2018, 01:14 AMLumivyoryIf they plan on releasing more races in the future they could always switch between new and old.Quote:

Viera would probably have to be different in FFXIV anyway, unless they're actually planning to bother giving them animal-like feet. -

It’s been a while since I’ve commented here. Just wanting to show my support still. Final Fantasy XII was one of my favorites!!

I started as a midlander, but I think keeper of the sun was my final destination (and, frankly, what I should have started as). That said, why not? Variety is fabulous! Add more races, clans, options--everything! I'm comfortable with my character choice forever, perhaps, but I'd love to see different types of players. I'm all for it, if it draws in more players, which would enrich my experience, I'm sure.

I still have my hope for viera. I'm just worried that both of the concept arts they've shown in the past might be tossed out and they will use something else. Hopefully, something good but a part of me is still sad with what they did with auras. : (

Can the fan fests come already so that we can be one of a few things? Delighted and can't wait because they are giving us viera and they look just like one if not both of the concept art shows. Be slightly saddened because yes we're getting viera but it's like how the au ra turned out or not how anyone would want them to be. Then there's the sadness of the new race not being viera mixed with the joy that at least we are getting a new one. Last but not least the utter heartbreak that we're not getting a new race at all. All of this waiting for just november is not fun. Also if we do get viera please for the love of the twelve don't stick them with voices no one likes.

10-15-2018, 01:44 AMHestzhyenNA Fanfest '18: Viera are coming to Eorzea! But female Miqo'te voice 5 will be the only option. Please look forward to it.Quote:

10-25-2018, 10:03 AMSkivvyYa know, after sampling some of the Lala voices, these don't seem that bad. Although I'd say some of them are so bad they're good. I personally tend to use one of the more annoying ones when I go Lala. Amuses me to no end.Quote:

I'll finally get a tall statuesque vicious female character and can swap from Au Ra was so disappointed they were so small in comparison to the guys. Everyone that screams just play an Elezen and it'll be fine man that whole race looks deformed hence why they are so unpopular. PLUS IMAGINE THE MEMES of playing VIERA DRAGON WORLD 1st BUNNY DRAGOON!!!!!!!! WHO DOESNT WANNA SEE A BUNNY DRAGON?!?Quote:

If Viera gets added, I'd love if one faction of them had the females being the tall, strong looking, amazonian-like and the men being the small, delicate looking... practically reversing the dimorphism in Au Ra

I really hope we get no small/ child size races. Not only for the negative issues it always brings but also due to gear textures and graphics are canalized when showcased on said races. I can't count how many times i have disappointed to see gear previews on a Lalafel... "Great arms, legs, and boots are hidden/ none existent..."
-
11-01-2018, 06:13 AMVahlnirI like this idea...and I'd also prefer they truly look the part. Not just a tall Highlanders/Midlanders with rabbit ears.Quote:

11-01-2018, 11:25 AMAlacranAye my thoughts exactly. No reason for a child race in this game, far to many times i have seen what communities use them for... Frankly it's sick and i find it disturbing.Quote:

Given that Yoshi P has said it himself that certain armors are already problematic due to their reveling nature, (in reference to the possibility of Vagrant Story gear) already we can see what many have done with play dead emote on Lalafell's

Even now, i truly believe that the small Viera in the concept art is nothing more than child versions of the race... as every other races has... (except Roegadyn...)
http://cdn3.dualshockers.com/wp-cont...5-22_23_33.jpg
... and as a representation of a child should not be playable. -
11-01-2018, 11:46 AMHestzhyen
How about this... You guys let me enjoy cute things in peace and stop trying to be thought police, and I won't have to wonder why you are so concerned and informed about what a few people do with avatars in private. :P Also XIV will never be as steamy as TERA so I don't think you have to worry about porn outfits on character models that you don't approve of.
Fanfest '18 is the best bet for an announcement- here's hoping. -
11-01-2018, 12:05 PMAlacranThing is these kind of practices breed controversy and causes more problems than it's worth. As you have the right to enjoy cute things, i have the right argue against children represented in adult situations.Quote:

11-01-2018, 02:40 PMAlestormWouldn't be the first time. Worgan in WoW have had that ever since their release. Which helps nothing that one of the male's /joke line makes reference to furrys.Quote:

Honestly with 2000+ posts I'd be amazed if Viera doesnt atleast become a beastman race if not a playable race....
-
11-02-2018, 03:57 AMBalipuWell we know that Viera exist at the very least. They were name dropped. They are a canon part of the universe.Quote:

Loli viera would be the best thing ever. You know this to be true.
Hopefully thicc hips too. -
11-05-2018, 11:53 AMNestama
So Elin? No thanks, for various reason.

11-06-2018, 05:56 AMFreyt
Besides the inevitable, this is my only expectation for 5.0.
-
11-06-2018, 08:40 AMMelichoirMaybe not Loli :\, but just another tiny/short race. Hell they could get creative and like all the other races, have 2 subsets, one that is the 'mountain giant' and one thats tiny. Best of both worlds?Quote:

Showing support for the two clan idea. One with the tall version and one of the small version. I like playing the shorter races and as much as I enjoy my lalafell I would insta swap to the short Viera. -
11-08-2018, 11:16 AMLexi2 clans would be great! Tall and short and cute!Quote:
