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

[Niwashi]

You obviously do not know what a Viera is... because Elezen or so disproportional. Please go to google and type "Viera".

I know more of what Viera look like than some of people in this thread seem to, because I've looked at more than one representation of them. There's a reason I referred specifically to "the way this game would be likely to implement Viera".

Basically, anything that's human with rabbit ears seems to qualify as that's all they have in common from one game to another. I think It'd be likely, though, for SE to go with a tall and slender version, as that seems popular, which would mean they'd re-use the same body type as Elezen. So, it'd just be an Elezen with rabbit ears. Or if SE decides not to go with the tall and slender version, it might be a Hyur with rabbit ears or a Miqo-te with rabbit ears instead. But it'd be one of the three. That's not entirely what the people asking for Viera want, but it's what they'd get.

And the look of a Viera has already changed quite a bit, as this:



looks rather different than this:



And here in XIV, Viera would look like an Elezen (or possibly Hyur or Miqo'te) wearing the Bunny Crown. The only differences would be a slightly furry texture on the ears, and the fact that they'd replace the normal Elezen (or Hyur or Miqo'te) ears. So I still stand by my claim that it can essentially already be done with a glamoured headpiece.

Yeah if you dont mind looking like a 7 foot tall ethiopian with a disprportioned hair and dollar store costume ears. And if its so easy and hardly any different from what we have why not just thtow us a bone and add it alongside of a completly different race?

[Ametrine]

Ever think it might also be the new animations, emotes, voices, and lore that we want, too?

Disproportioned head*

I'm more surprised the female Roegadyn weren't popular. They're the only race in the game that can have huge breasts :T
Of course, I aim to play as a male Roe because... male Roegadyn are nice.

Cause majority of males dont want a woman who looks like they are gonna carry them to the room and then bend THEM over the bed.

I love the Roegadyn ladies.... As a concept. They falter in the same sort of way Elezan do, but while Elezan have nice faces with gangly bodies, Roe girls suffer the opposite problem.

Particularly the facial structures on all 4 roe lady options have really wide, flat noses. 3 options have permanent angry eyebrows in every variation. And, 3 have very small eyes. In fact, the face that has largest eyes being the one I pretty consistently see on players, despite eyebrows so sharp she could chop wood.

It's unfortunate. I played one for nearly a year (the one face with an option for brows that were unfurrowed or slanted) but after coming back after a 5 month break, I went from feeling cool about playing the least popular race/gender/clan combination to "This isn't pretty to me anymore."

So, my fantasia addiction continues.

My problem isnt so much their face its their Heman/Lion-o bodies.

I would personnally love any of thos three. Anything to break up the see of mqote and au ra girls with the same 1 good face

But it can't..

because the race would have a different face style...

they would probably have actual ears with different hairstyles...

and they would have a bunny tail on every outfit...

and the list goes on...

So NO, they would not look like elezen with the bunny crown.

So why not a third clan for Elezen (one of the most least played races)? Or are the rabbit ears (which would require SE to redesign every piece of head gear that isn't a crown and tiara) really that important?
