Viera can be different from Miqo'te.

[Kurogaea]

Yep, they obviously wouldn't want such a thing to happen, no way. Their standards for making sensible lore is far too high.

cough Au Ra cough

Yeah I know, and we're already biting their hands. It was obviously lazy of them and they should fix that, hopefully in later patches with the referred "Eastern Areas" which I'm assuming they all reside. Besides, Au Ra is a new race in the ff series, Viera are old as time. They'd be risking a mob of the fanbase if they %#^ that up. :/

I would love to see Viera ingame, but I would also be content with more updates and fresh new things for our current races eventually allowing them to all look completely different with many different options, at least they would'nt have to rewrite a whole ton of new lore.

[Leogun]

Even though this is a thread about Viera, I'd personally be rooting for a Bangaa or Mog race. Nu mou would be pretty unique too. It'd possibly redeem their FFXII debacle (like 5 human main characters and NOO Mogs as playable!? I was so pissed half for over half the game).

Othard? I don't think we have much reason to go there as of now, Doma has been obliterated and I'm not quite sure if there's any use liberating whatever's left of Othard especially considering that a lot of dragons now inhabit the place. The only place I see the Viera fitting in would be the New World, but we're not likely to go there for a long, long time to come.

[Mishari]

I don't want Viera in Eorzea.
I always thought that this race is just ridiculous and incredibly uninspired. Even in FFXII.
I mean.... humans with bunny ears? Really? rofl

inb4: "LOOL says the catgirl"
yea miqo'te are uninspired too.
I would rather play a beastly race. Bangaa, or the Firrans from Arche Age.

[FeliAiko]

I like the Viera, but wouldn't want them in this game. If anything, I'd prefer a new FF Tactics game instead if I wanted to play as them. Say what you will about the Au Ra but at least it's a new race with their own background. As for them just being 'Hyurs with horns', well, part of that can be put down to those playing them who set out to minimise as much of the scales as possible, or give them skin tones that resembles real life ones, etc.

There are already moogles in FFXIV and they look like the original moogle design.

EDIT:
I really doubt they would make ANY beastmen race ever playable because they're much harder to work with when it comes to gear with their non-human proportions. And with how FFXIV's story goes, that the beastmen are pretty much not in friendly terms with the playable races, makes a good reason for them to not be playable at all, just like in FFXI.

If FFXI didn't have playable beastmen then don't expect it also in FFXIV.

I realize there are Moogles in the game, doesn't mean they couldn't still take inspiration from them (or specifically, Ivalice's Mogs) for another race.

...and I keep hearing people say they doubt a beastman race would ever be playable but I think you're looking at it from the wrong perspective. The ONLY new race that would be WORTH implementing IS a beastman race. Any human-ish type can already be emulated with what the game has.

[Verius_Nox]

After they add hot bunny chicks, I hope they add hot fox chicks so we can capitalize on all the hot human chicks with animal ear accessories and those animated tails that move with your emotions.

Then maybe we can get a non-human race to appease the people who don't like humans, but that should be in like 2022 when I've gotten bored of this games hot bunny chicks and moved on to another game.

What's worth more is not adding a new race at all. The six ones we have is already enough.
