    I am skeptical ... because:




    Concept art can be misleading, (esp. where the foreshortening is concerned here) but at least there is a little sketch for thought.
    The hair looks much like a Roegadyn hair style currently in game except has a head band.

    Not sure if that pink edge is part of the ear, part of the pants behind her head, a colour mistake or hints towards a new ear type entirely (whether another miqo'te ear type or another race ear type)

    They did say something about adding new Miqo'te ear types at some point didn't they? I have forgotten exactly.

    Edit: Also:


    The in game image shows you the correct positions of the ears on the model. But when drawing Nekomimi and the like we usually draw them like the art above and the sketch I did adding the second ear to the model.
    While they look fine they are technically incorrect unless one ear is at a vastly different angle.

    :3 And that is my not really arguing argument against that pic being a Veira...
    if I am wrong then... well... *throws a bunny at you*

    I might just be that her long hairstyle and the positioning of her ears are throwing me off. I did find a bigger version of the image :



    She does appear to have the shape of the Miqo’te ears, but you can see her legs in this image too. Even though the angle doesn’t seem to fit…



    When i look at that, she appears to have the height of an Elezen, rather then a Miqo’te?

    I did see some other things too:

    At the top of the picture, there’s a Scholar that appears to be wearing something that resembles the FFXI Opaline dress?





    And what about this Miqo’te at the top left? He has a dagger in his/her hand, but the outfit he/she’s wearing doesn’t look like tanking gear. More like something we had as a Dancer/Thief?
    (I’m just guess here, but still…)

    Credit goes to Niqo'te for her fabulous art in the "Nique's happy fun time!"-thread and Nix/Capa for the Caitlyn drawing to the right. \(^_^ )/
    Give her your support by liking their art!
