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

[Khaoticsuccubus]

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.

Yeah I'm not really sure I understand that statement either. I mean. Maybe if aura had turned out like they look in the concept art for them. But definitely not what's in game. They are literally the same case. Humanoid with horns. Add some scale tattoos and voila. Aura in a nutshell. (Not that I dislike aura mind you). Personally. I would literally kill for Viera like the concept art to be added in Literally kill. Would drop my miqo'te in a heartbeat.

Also. People asking for more beastly or rounder races just don't seem to understand. Numbers dictate that the amount of people who actually play them are a very small percentage among the community. To design a whole race for only a few people to play seems just ... Wasteful. But hey. They add Viera in and I wouldn't give two craps less how wasteful they are with other new races lol ;P
