Viera or Eleven

So I just got a bottle of Fantisa! I’m wanting to make a awesome gothic or emo female character! I’m playing dragoon. My choices are Viera of Elf. Be honest which one is fun?

If you want hats and helmets, then there's no real choice here.

On the other hand, if you want one neck instead of three stacked atop each other.....

I’m interested in Viera and to me maybe one day Viera can where all helmets one day. If not they still look awesome!

They are supposedly working to add head gear now how much back stuff we will get remains to be seen.

I'm sorry (not sorry) but the typo in the title compels me to post this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqAu-DDlINs

With that out of the way, if you want to use headwear without having to gamble on it being one of the lucky exceptions then right now there's no real contest.
Play a dhalmel if you care about hats, otherwise if a neck of regular size is more to your tastes and you can make do with limited hats play a bunny.
I was going to mention femroe as an option but I can see that's what your current race is so I guess you're well aware of what you can do with that.

Yes so I played Roe for a while and I just got a free fantisa and I want to try other race and see

Assume they will never add in Viera and Hrothgar hats, because they're never going to add Viera and Hrothgar hats. These races have been in the game for nearly 5 years, and people need to stop acting like the devs are going to ever address the issue. They've learned they can get away with limited races.

While not 100% confirmed happening, YoshiP mentioned at JPN Fanfest that they were going to try and get players a free fantasia for Dawntrail. Might be a pre-order bonus, or a bonus in the collectors edition. Or maybe they will just send everyone one.

Cant get more gothic than a Duskwight

That be hard pick because I wouldn't pick ether. For me it be Au Ra or Cat girl.

Elezen, of course!

No tail problems
No hat/helm problems
No dirty nose problems
Rarity bonus and
loooooong legs <3


Cheers

Viera don't have tails.

Bunnys TASTY so Mao picks Bunnys (is one more Bunny for Mao to snacks on). Mao nots like Poncy Long-Neck Big-Ears. Thems killed Mao adopted Big Dragon Brother.

You can use black lipstick as a Duskwight and it actually looks good. Viera have kind of glossy lips.

They've said in a few interviews that they're working on it. But they've said they were working on a lot of things in the past that haven't panned out, so until it's in official patch notes and/or in game, don't count on it.

I may be biased but ELEZEN HAS THE BEST CHARACTER IN THE GAME.

Well, half of the best character, anyway.

Even the Virea players agree that Elezen is better.

I agree that Elezen have more NPC characters to choose from. Viera have, what, six that actually matter to the MSQ? And the only ones I can name offhand are Lyna and Erenville? (And one of those is technically a Viis, but that's splitting hares.)

Viera have some really good hairstyles, and the headgear issues are only with hat and helmets. Head slot accessories such as glasses, flowers, ribbons and such all work.

I will give my 2 cents as someone who loves both races equally. Stick to Roegadame until the Benchmark for DawnTrail is up, then make one Viera and one Elezen and see which you enjoy the most look-wise, the benchmark will allow you to see them in different lighting and environments. Keep in mind the new graphic update which will change the way base models look. This will save you a Fantasia, since you will get a free one anyway with the new expansion to adjust your character to your liking.
Instead of using your Fantasia now, wait for the benchmark, make your characters then and remain with one in case you ever change your mind/want to adjust the voice, etc. Also, you can save the appearance from the Benchmark and use it immediately when the new expansion is up.

Wow, what you said was completely wrong. I guess you are very out of the loop in case of info.

1. They have confirmed that they are working on adapting all the hats for Hrothgar and Viera ( the newest one being in the interview with Yoshi P. for Play mag. He would not have said anything if it was not happening, but he confirmed that they are working on it)
2. You say they learned they can get away with limited races. And yet they still gave Viera and Hrothgar Hairstyles with every patch this expansion (+ they gave Viera some extra ones on EW launch, pushing them with 2 patches worth of Hairstyles in front of Hrothgar). Closing in on having access to almost all collectable Hairstyles in-game and some base ones.
3. It has been 100% confirmed that every player will receive a Fantasia prior to the New expansion so they can adjust their characters. They are going to graphically improve the whole game and characters, not just DT. The only characters that would not be improved with the launch of DT are some of the special ones.

I would wait, as others have said.

And elezens don't really have a long neck, they just have a tiny head so the neck look really long. Actually look at them and you will see what I mean. The head is so tiny compared to the rest of the body.
