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

[Balipu]

I hope this doesn't mean I have to get another PC ;-;

That depends. How old is your PC? If Diablo 2 lags a bit you might need to upgrade.

Leave the character configurations to the cash shop and gold saucer.

Hairstyles, sure. Customisation options overall, though... how about no. I'm sure people spend enough money on buying Fantasia's. Last thing they want is a desire to spend more money on something they may actually not like (since you can't try on faces).

Maby they should just add new races to the cash shop lol. Get back some of that money that they are spending making them cause you know. A new race AND more customization is far to much to ask when they are only making 15 dollars a month from 6 million subscribers.

I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. How much would a cash shop race even feasibly cost?

But honestly, a new race would be a huge bonus to an expansion in trying to reel in players that aren't settled into the game.

With Viera already being a part of Final Fantasy iconography (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance came out in 2003!), they would be the most logical option.

Don't forget XII, which is getting a PS4 HD-remaster sometime next year (2017).

It's sarcasm.

[Laerune]

A new race = players not interested in the game to try it out, because of the new race. I know some players who only tried this game, because of the Au Ra. The new race will also help with sales of Fantasia. Personaly, I think the only reason if we are not going to get a new race is if the cost and time of making a new race, emotes, animation, voice and gear remodeling will not be worth it, compared to the sales of Fantasia and potential gain of newcomers.

So, the trailer of 3.4 (while awesome) brought nothing to the table in regards to new races.

When is Fanfest again?

[OMG]

Hummm, didn't YoshiP or someone in a recent interview say no to the Viera idea, because they'd just be miqote with bunny ears?

[Enkidoh]

He did. Ages ago. But still people keep requesting it, in the hope that if they make enough noise like a tantrum-throwing child denied a lolly Yoshi will relent and change his mind. *rolls eyes*

Some people just don't seem to understand the meaning of the word 'no'.
