Viera race

[Chalbee]

I hold the firm belief that we, at present, do not need any new playable races added to the game at any point in the immediate future. Instead some love should be given to the current batch of existing playable races - addressing some of the more dire clipping issues and the disproportionate lack in variety that some race/gender combinations are afflicted by. We need Highlander men to be given some more classically handsome facial features and real eyebrows for example. I'm aware that the lore reason is that they 'shave them off to be intimidating and remember Ala Mhigo' but...not every Highlander is from Ala Mhigo and the women don't conform to such a thing anyway...

I'm rambling but still - that's how I feel and I doubt that I'm alone.

Agreed. The customization options for the existing races are severely limited. *cough* Au Ra horns *cough*

any new tall & appealing race that would bring people away from miqote I would very much welcome it<3. Femroes look awesome nobody plays them, elezenettes look amazing nobody plays them, and when you are playing as a Elezen on a server thats 95% miqote things are rather bland and you feel out of place playing as any tall race surrounded by short auri and miqote.

why does noone like playing tall races ಠ_ಠ

I agree with a few posters in here that I would rather see the current races Character Customization expanded.

Add some new faces for each race/gender (we only have 4 faces discluding midlanders who for some reason get 5)
New facial feature options, body tattoos/scars, mixed races (they don't have to be freakishly mixed btw), etc...

But sadly chances are we will get something like Viera, because SE is money hungry & they know people will pay for Fantasia's just to change to one.
So don't worry people who want Viera, it'll be yours for a price you'll be more then willing to pay, along with Fran's hair and outfit for the low price of $15-$20 per character!! -_-

That sounds purposely and unreasonably spiteful. Let me remind you that Heavensward got a new race AND a free Fantasia potion for everyone to change into an Au Ra if they desired (=_=)

Psst. Don't tell that to complainers. They like to complain.

I dont get why people think its easy to add a new race. Wow can do it because gear (except hats, shouldergards and belt buckles) is litteraly i texture slapped on the character model. In ffxiv they would have to remodel every single piece of armor for it to work. That much work leads to shortcuts (miqote tails and au ra horns) which you all are going to complain about and want fixed.

Besides, a new race doesnt really make sense lorewise. The au ra were a stretch and still feel distant from the rest of the races.

I dont think it would be feasible to add a new race. Id rather have more interesting armor and foes to fight.

Indeed - if and when the above happens, maybe in the subsequent expansion to the one coming, I'd see a place for a new race, which may be Viera... or something else. I'm not opposed to Viera, on the condition that they're not all female and that the males aren't cutesy but are implemented in line with the concept art previously shown.

2. a very small cute race BUT one that is proportioned properly unlike lalas...(no more saggy diaper cowboy walks and bowling pin shapes..heh ..I have a lala too!!, but their shape makes me cringe).

Another cute small race? Why not a dwarf? This game has a very noticeable lack of a short race that is neither cute and/or childlike in appearance.

Only for people who buy CE not regular one.

"I would love for them to add a beast race that isn't half human"

They already stated anything they would add would be humanoid because of the development time to make gear fit on the different races.

I myself do want Viera, they have been my favorite race since Final Fantasy tactics and XII. Their lore is awesome.
