I'm trying to make sense of what you have posted, and this is the closest thing that I can come up with.

"I thought I didn't want this race in XIV.
But now my opinion has changed. I would be very interested to see it in game."

Chances are, they scrapped any chance for it to come to XIV.

Well, we don't know. Yoshi-P vetoed them hitting Heavensward as he wanted something different verses a second "pretty people with animal ears."

The thing is all sides of Final Fantasy fandom have been asking for a Viera race in their MMO since Viera became a thing. In every language, even. They are plenty popular enough to justify it, but Yoshi-P's own concerns of them being Elezan, only with rabbit ears, as a poor edition can also be justified.

I'm pretty sure we'll find out about 4.0's new race (if any) very soon with 3.4 shifting the story to the expansion, and Fanfest being a few weeks after.

I'm pro-Viera myself, as I love animal races, but I'm not a huge cat person. Plus, Viera are fierce by nature. That kind of character is right up my alley.

I hold the firm belief that we, at present, do not need any new playable races added to the game at any point in the immediate future. Instead some love should be given to the current batch of existing playable races - addressing some of the more dire clipping issues and the disproportionate lack in variety that some race/gender combinations are afflicted by. We need Highlander men to be given some more classically handsome facial features and real eyebrows for example. I'm aware that the lore reason is that they 'shave them off to be intimidating and remember Ala Mhigo' but...not every Highlander is from Ala Mhigo and the women don't conform to such a thing anyway...

I'm rambling but still - that's how I feel and I doubt that I'm alone.

Agreed. Better textures for the "stuck on" horns of the Au'ra first would be fantastic. All the horns currently look awful :P

I think he means he likes the Viera race and wanted to be implemented in game.

I agree it's fabulous! Bring at least Fran!

Expanded character customization would certainly be appreciated, however to deny the fact that those animal/ human like hybrids are not popular is just wrong. People who enjoy this series simply adhere to a different train of thought, one which enjoys cute/ attractive aesthetics. While far from conclusive, one need only look to the show your race threads to see what holds the majority interest.
(as of 09/13/16, 03:06)
Hyur- 162
Elezen- 99
Au ra-353
Miqo 'te- 645
Lalafell- 123
Roe- 366 (left off by mistake)
(once more, this is far from conclusive, however take into account the official census counts hyur bot gil ad spammers...)

No Roegadyn? 366!? Oh... that's just the Roegadyn thread. For a moment there, I thought you were talking about the census (which only records up to who has finished the 3.3 story)~

I still stand by my opinion that Viera should never be in this game. When compared to other races in this game, they're not very interesting and do not add any variety of race options (and females will naturally be popular. Because SE will most likely give them the option of being cute, petite and/or waifish).

No one cares about Roegadyn, we are pretty unpopular :(

Why does everyone want new races? What's wrong with the six we have???
