Viera didn't blow up as big as we all thought.

I love my Viera. I love how tall they are, the cute animal-like faces, all the standing idle animations are nice and they actually have a butt (though that disappears with some gear...) I cant wait for SE to add more hairstyles and hopefully more high heel shoes. Great job SE ^^ I played Miqote since 1.0 and FemRoe for about 1 year, Viera is exactly what I wanted out of both of those races; tall, cute, fierce and animal-like.

I've seen quite a few. There's at least one Viera in every duty I've done, and Zalera has no shortages of either Hrothgar and Viera. I'm more surprised Hrothgar is fairly represented. I thought for sure they'd be as rare as a unicorn

During Early Access I felt like a unicorn on Faerie, but since yesterday I've noticed a few more. It's nice to see my fellow Hrothgar brothers.

I see them a lot though.

I've even seen people who started new characters in Early Access JUST to play a Viera.

There's a surprisingly large amount of us Hrothgar around! I'm also surprised at how many Helion there are! I was expecting mostly Lost! It's great seeing them alongside all the viera!

Not at all. I find it difficult to play any tall character after playing a lalafell. The different camera angle is disorienting and makes even well known places unfamiliar.

In spite of my earlier critical thread, I find myself liking Viera. They look both cute and formidable. This lalafell definitely wouldn't want to get on the bad side of one. :eek:

Yeah, playing another race with a significant height difference really messes with you. I was a Roe since I started playing the game then switched to Lala for a bit during early Stormblood. Everything was so big, and pulling mobs became a bit scary because I couldn't see myself and everything was so large. It was a fun adjustment phase, but went back to Roe for the rest of that expansion.

I like being tall; dunno how the Lala does it. It's nice that the Hrothgar are about the same height-wise.

The reason I went with Helion is it was the only one that allowed tan (more natural) skin colors. If the Lost had offered all of the color spectrums, I probably would have gone with Lost, but in the end I really love my guy. He just turned out the way he was meant to be.

Still think they should open up all hair color, fur color and skin color options to both Helion and Lost though.

I really like my Viera, and as of yet I have not felt the urge to change back. Usually I bounce between Miqo'te and Au Ra, but I feel like I finally found a race that fits better. (And as a female IRL, I like how Viera separates me from those dudes who make little anime waifu characters out of their miqote and Au Ra.)
