I like Yugiri's voice.

[Niqote]

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 think that's supposed to be a miqo'te. Aside from any notable NPCs that show up, I wouldn't expect a new race to be featured in artwork until we get closer to the patch/expansion that makes them playable(almost definitely expansion, but stranger things have happened). I could be wrong, though, and I don't have a fancy explanation like Niqote here(with illustrations, no less. Very nice!). Just going by usual MMO trends I've seen.

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…)

[Shirai]

I think that dagger you highlight is part of a bow though.
The gear also looks quite bardish.

You do raise a good point about the length of the (Let's call her) animal girl (for now) as I believe that the Viera were also quite a tall race in FFXII if I remember correctly.
And Yugiri is also looking quite tall compared to the Hyur standing behind her in the trailer movie, although that could also just be perspective.

Yes, there is a possibility that it’s a bard, but in that case, i’m missing a quiver on his/her back. Also, Bard hold their bow with their left hand while tightening the string and shooting the arrow with the right hand, as you can see here:

The Miqo’te is holding his/her weapon with the right hand and a lalafell (black mage?) with the left hand. (^_^ )

So I dyed my hair pink a couple of days ago, now that it seems everyone will get the new "Long hair" styling I might look like Akio Ohtori from Revolutionary Girl Utena >_>

I'm still sticking with the "It is a bow" thing though.

They must be trying the fabled 'lalafell arrow' tactic. I've heard stories of it's destructive power.

[Rubieus]

With all the speculation about the pictures. I can only say that concept art is concept. It means nothing.
