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

[Nestama]

Garleans can't use magic, so they'd never ever be playable (unless SE are willing to make PGL, LNC and MRD the only playable Classes for them). Especially as that means they won't be able to use Return and Teleport... so what exactly is your argument?

Also, to repeat myself, people thought the Miqo'te in this picture was a Viera.

What about this:

Why not add Viera as a new subrace to Miqote? The term "Miqote" could be used for all mammalian demi-beastmen (including Viera).

From the Lore of Sophia:

History tells of a Meracydian nation comprised of a multitude of races

On Gamerescape its stated, that Miqote originally came from Meracydia. When it comes to "multitude of races", it could be possible that other mammalian demi-beastmen-races (like Viera) originally came from Meracydia, too.


And then we have this:

We already have a mostly humanoid race with animal ears in the Mi'qote. When we looked at those initial Viera concepts, it just seemed like a Mi'qote with bunny ears instead of cat ears

Ok, why not add Viera as a new subrace to Miqote?
