Well how about letting people know what you really think intsead of posting "mumbo jumbo." It might not be as entertaining but you would be understood a lot better. People shouldn't have to look "way back in the day" to figure this out.

Some people might actually want to have an intelligent discussion, shocking as it may sound.

Yeah, I figured lol. And yes...I'm fairly certain they already know what's coming *first*...these polls are surely for a little bit in the future. Hell Yoshi probably has it all planned out, he's just a betting man, wants to see what everyone votes on.

With the way these forums run half the time, that seems impossible lol like how people are calling Viera lovers "morons" and "unimaginative" when the polls specifically stated vote for which you prefer.

Morons for thinking Yoshi-P name dropping Viera after the words "ex." and "such as" means that we are getting Viera.

Alot of people voting for this seem more concerned with satisfying their fetishes or creating their deviantart fanfic than thinking about what actually fits in FFXIV. The idea of a new race/demi-race seems completely unnecessary, they should focus on other aspects of the game

Well you know I posted why a Viera type race could fit into Eorzea a bit ago that everyone is ignoring, they will fit into the black shroud very well, and with their xenophobic nature they can also add a different beastmen clan.

Viera could hear the forest, and they could make a lot of lore based on what we have now, and not to mention a hidden Viera home in the black shroud, that we cannot see nor access until SE choses otherwise.

^ Hilarious, and very scary at the same time.



On the topic of 'types', we currently have:

Manly -M. Roegadyn, Highlander
Beastly - Roegadyn, Keepers of Moon
Cute - F. Keepers of the Sun, Lalafell
Mischievous - Lalafell, Miqote
Stylish - M. Miqote, M. Elezen, F. Hyur
Even tempered - Midland Hyur.
Stoic - F. Roegadyn, Elezen

I think what we need is:

Mysterious - "Viera"-type (although, the Padjal might fight this category as well)

Indeed I would not mind something similar to the Viera as a new beastmen(beastwomen?) race. Being an NPC only race, the devs could spend less than 1/8 of the time making a few character models and a few clothes models for them, instead of having to go the full distance and redesign all the player gear that exists to fit their proportions. They could also keep them female-only with few complaints.

Actually, all gear 99% is the same, it is just deformed for each race. To add a new humanoid race just requires setting up the deformations and all the gear will automatically be adjusted.

If the devs tried to add something that wasn't specifically humanoid in shape (ie. Bangaa, Ivalice Moogle, Nu Mou, etc), then yes, it would require rebuilding all gear.
