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

[Rokke]

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?

Nothing would need to be redesigned if they go the route of Au ra horns- they just clip straight through everything lol.

Ive said this as well. Viera ears are big enough and long enough that it would look lile every helmet has holes for them

Allow me to play Vera Frankenstein!
Bunny Earz!
Hyur Female face.
Aura Male sized horns and body frame
Roe (or at LEAST Hyur) sized boobiez
FF11 Galka-sized tail~

Basically..something that can take 2-3 claw swipes from a King behemoth and shake it off. I get 1 more preadolescant schoolgirl race, imma have to punt every lala and miqo I see! Dammit! I want Xena with bunny ears! I wanna woman dabbit!!

Exactly this! The whole reason most of us want viera is its a beautiful mature woman without looking like she can bench 400 pounds or haveing a scrunch face with her head being half the size ut should be.

So then why not just a third clan of Elezen? or third clan of Miqo'te, if the ears are that important.

That would be fine i just want more diversity as long as we get pretty faces and hot bodies. Miqote wouldnt work as well cause the emotes are far too animated but i could accept the elezen emotes as long as the bodies arent disgusting like Elezens are

But I want more than we. I want handsome mature men, too

Well, we most assuredly will get men in the Viera-esque race. The original concepts show males, and viera's official lore in the Ivalice based games straight up say that males exist, though they live separately from the women and are even more isolationist.

We'll get rabbit men.

Aura males look to be the only race that has pushed the creativity barrier at all, specifically due to horn size. Before I saw the female versions, I was highly optimistic, but it ended up looking like the sultana paired with Rabon-w/e...in other words, the two didnt look like they even shared the same species. With the Viera, just asking for something beyond 'play it safe general size fits all eye candy' Something that says "Woah..well ya dont see that everyday" ...and yes...ears are the #1 trait of a Viera. Removing those would be like trying to create a flatchested Tifa..some things just go with the name.

Thats cause they refuse to redesign gear for wild body structures. So the animal ears and the horns on regular humans is as far as they are gonna go
