Yoshida said that they are going to introduce new races/classes with an expansion. There was a vote where the community liked the "bunny" race "viera" the most (FF12, FF tactics)
looks like this new character who is coming from the far east seems to have long and sloppy ears. too Big to be an elezen or Miq'ote Could it be some kind of Viera and maybe a possible new race for an expansion? Who knows. At least it seems to be a new race. Even though its just a new npc race for now.

And in the Trailer it also looked like there is going to be Diabolos in the Amdapor Instance as a boss:

Diabolos confirmed and possible new race (with long sloppy ears) for first expansion?

Bunny race is so last week. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Race-Spoilers
Super excited for Diabolos. -

Viera was nothing but an example for mammal hybrid. It was not meant to mean they were including Viera (of which Yoshie himself said that male Viera would look silly). If it is indeed a new race, it is likely to be something new (and given that clothing for races with long ears, the ears remain in normal position, if those are ears, they seem to lay downward, not up).

if a bunny alike race is becoming a playable race in an expansion. it may be that it will be femaly only.. but well.. lets see.
yoshi also wanted to have a reptilian race ;XD which could be the "male only" pendant to the bunny race.. -

Well there where information on both Diabolos and the masked person before this trailer. The masked person is confirmed to be a new race which are in need of the other races help.
When I say "new race" I don't mean that it's confirmed as a playable race, but it's new in the playable world.... And whatever race it is (probably Viera), it looks like they are preparing for a new playable race in the future. -

New race =/= Playable race, if people are getting their hopes up. Probably like the horned people in Gridania.

One of those boss monsters in the video i think it may have been Halitali or the Coil 2 bit looked remarkably like the Catoblepas esper from Final Fantasy 6... Oh and the end boss in Coil 2 looks like it could be Omega weapon

03-14-2014, 11:21 PMUmoPadjal is not a race per se, but a status some Hyur individuals get when they receive the blessings of the forest. They get horns sprouting from their heads once the elementals touch them, but they keep being Hyurans. That's the main reason (lore-wise) of not having Padjal as playable 'race'.Quote:

03-14-2014, 11:21 PMTupsiIt's called the Avatar, a type of Treant. Omega won't appear until they bring about Shinryu if they truly want to keep the FF feel and lore intact. (Omega was designed to seek out Shinryu, whether he existed or not in the game physically, that's always been his lore but almost every remake and later FF games introduced Shinryu either originally or in a remake.)Quote:

03-14-2014, 11:27 PMSfarzosoYou know! Those looks are bad..ass.. Like seriously. I know they are the bad guys. But I want their armor! We got too much traditional armor! Players deserves to be as badass as the Garleans! But yeah that old man will fall soon !Quote:

Love the Diabolos boss thing ... one of my favorite summons of all time. He casts Demi right? Regardless, looks like theyre taking the animation from FFVIII which is, again, the best one. Hopefully those who get hit by it get squashed as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWPTgJ7Vuow
As for the new race; like I said in another thread, if thats a Viera, its not a very good job of hinting at it or they just halfassed the concept. Bunny ears dont need to be fitted in a hood and can easily be folded into it. Whatever is protruding out of that characters head is solid, as in horns most likely. -

Maybe she's some kind of goblin-hyur hybrid, and their creation myth amounts to the romance-novelesque diary of a female goblin slum lord who accepted alternate forms of payment from oiled, chiseled hyur men who couldn't make their rent immediately after the fall of Allag.

Kinda agree, he was one of those iconic bosses in XI. There is always hard-mode though, and from I've been readong, some of the other iconic FF bosses will be brought back in CT which is something to "please look forward to it" xDQuote:

Kinda sucks that Diablos doesn't get his own instance, he was a badass in FFVIII ;)

I wonder how many more duplicate threads we will have about Viera before I'm driven insane. I can't decide if people just dislike reading or dislike searching.

I was very excited when I heard about Diabolos. That changed to severe disappointment when I seen he was just a dungeon boss. I would rather it be a primal fight. In my eyes, he was always a badass. He is worth more than a final dungeon boss room or where ever he may occur in the dungeon.
I think there could have been some really nice mechanics to it also if they went that route and a HM and EX mode would have been giving it a lot of potential. -

I could care less about her being a new race. I want her hood/mask/scarf thing. >_>;;;

03-15-2014, 08:52 AMVejjiegirlI thought the same thing when Siren was added as a normal Dungeon boss :(Quote:

03-15-2014, 08:57 AMBarboronI wasn't too fond of Siren myself but agree all the same. I wouldn't mind coming across Jumbo Cactuar in a dungeon though. Especially if they work in some humour to it.Quote:

Is that droopy long ears, or just a fold of her veil?

If it was dropping that would be fine, but it should be placed higher up on her head, and not on the side? or maybe it's tied behind her? I really can't tell if it's behind her or not, so to reiterate is that some bunny ear or just a fold?Quote:
