FFXIV 2nd expansion: Viera-like race still a possibility?

How so? They're more bilby-like in appearance (sans tail).

I had to Google bilbies. Cute!

But, basically the same logic as us not getting the Ivalician Moogles.

We have a beast tribe of rodent people, so the appearance of a spoken version of them for us to play would make for some odd lore loops. That, and I think the snout would push it a bit.

It's a bummer, since Freya is amazing.

Here's a thought. Bring in Viera, make their backstory something different than a tree-hugging bipedal creature, just make sure they come from some isolated area with GOOD REASON. Example: They could have some kind of battlemaiden/valkyrie culture, a tribal culture, or, hell, a buddhist-esque culture. Their island or nation was destroyed by some catastrophic event, ex: enraged elementals, demons/voidspawn, supercharged primals, volcano, earthquake, etc; you get my point. They occasionally did some trading in the past with the inhabitants of Ala Mhigo and from that know of our nations and lands. BAM! You have most of the backstory done in all of 5 mins of thinking.

It's not hard to come up with a backstory, the real issue is making sure their presence is implemented correctly, unlike the Au'Ra

Have you guys forgotten the only acceptable race that should be added!?
The glorious Viangaa!

trufax I would Fantasia so fast to a giant Viangaa woman.

The male Viangaa is actually kinda adorable. Would Fantasia.

This is your Burmecian FFXIV-ified

but in all seriousness, I'd most likely by a Fantasia to be a burmecian if it was accurate to how they look in their game of origin.

Ugh, I forgot those kinda existed. They look like they were ripped from a Tim Burton movie, and I'd probably switch to one too just out of morbid fascination.

Viangaas was a 1st april kidding :p But, add this type of race is a big work to get clothes for them i think

I'd love a matriarchal take on the Ronso, as they would be beastly enough, and aside from the horn, wouldn't cause helmet problems
