FFXIV 2nd expansion: Viera-like race still a possibility?

[Xeonerable]

Asking for variety in the wrong places. lol

Kind of like here... Does anyone actually play anything but a catgirl in this game? First game with elves in it I've ever seen where they are actually unpopular...

I'm more surprised the female Roegadyn weren't popular. They're the only race in the game that can have huge breasts :T
Of course, I aim to play as a male Roe because... male Roegadyn are nice.

You can keep the Viera, just give me the long hair and high heels. Thanks!

I don't want the Viera. I want a new race if they decide to implement more.

I agree, definitely want it to be something more feral and less humanoid in appearance. To really shake it up I think it should be a race with short males and tall females. XD

I could see the Miqo'te representation literally cutting in half if Viera is introduced, though I do agree that it does seem like more of the same if they don't put an additional spin on the race.

On that side note though, introducing a full-on beast class that isn't some sort of humanoid would require a ton of additional work when creating armor sets, so I don't think that anything like Goblin would ever become a race. Heck, I could see them adding Garlean or even half-breeds before something feral since they wouldn't exponentially increase the work load.

I don't really want new race right now, just want some fix for current problem like red scrips and other job's lack of potency.

But I want Bangaa race.

We're too masculine for people so that's why we're not very popular.

On topic, I wouldn't want the Viera race at all. This game already has enough cutesy races. We need more fierce races.

I really hope the whole scrip thing is abandoned by next expansion

Hmmm... people say they want a beastly race, but I really wonder how many people who say that would actually change to one. It also seems unlikely given the massive changes that would have to be made to gear... so I don't really understand Yoshi's "Viera are too similar to Miqote" excuse when Au Ra are hardly that different! We seem to be stuck with humanoid of some size + weird ears/horns anyway, so....

I'm really curious to see what else they will come up with.
