Viangaa now in the lore neat.

For those interested, here is the original article confirming the new playable race, the Viangaa, http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/000029.html.

Among the race's more notable qualities, due to their smell, they are unable to ride mounts and will aggro all enemies in the field, store prices are 10% lower for them, and speaking to other races is forbidden. Use of the chat window will summon a Viangaa assassin to stalk the player.

I must admit, I read the text of the seasonal quest, but I missed the reference to the Viangaa. Nice catch.

That wasn't confirmation. Take a good look at the date of the blog post

I know, I was just going along with the joke. Even if Fernehalwes didn't end it with:

(PS: For those of you who didn't make it to "package size" without realizing something was slightly fishy, THIS JUST IN: It was all an April Fool's joke!)

(Or was it!?)

(Okay, it was. Sorry.)

(Or am I!?)

I would have still thought something was seriously wrong. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing a Viangaa assassin stalk individuals who misuse the chat channels, whether they themselves were Viangaas or not.

Yep, this was a fun little reference. Had me smiling until I got back into Limsa and did the final quest ...
