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

[Ametrine]

Dancer was just the result of explosive amounts of fan speculation around the lady in red. She's very likely just a fancy monk, but her costume and fluid movements at the trailer's start had people literally shouting "Dancer! Dancer confirmed!" less than a minute into it, only to see her then go into a matial arts sparring match with Derplander seconds later.


It doesn't help that the Vegas fest was really weak on actual announcements. All the hype and build up, only to have so little to chew on afterwords that the dancer speculation just became the hot topic.

We had already talked about Red Mage for so long, I guess it was less a "Woo! Comfirmed!" and more of an "About time you add it!"

Or be disappointed AND blowing up the forum!

This is very likely true XD

I want viera to be added to the game.
I'd like to see viera look similar to what they look like in the concept art;


or



I like both the tall/elegant viera and the short/cute viera. I think it'd be awesome if they could include both of these designs, just like Hyurs have sub-groups of Highlanders and Midlanders. The Viera could have one short sub-group and one tall sub-group. If we could only pick one (tall or short), I would be ok with either.

Again and sadly, they won't add Viera because of the amount of work needed to redesign armour (hands and feets).
The best we could get would be hyur with bunny ears similar to miquot'e and au'ra

It could be worse, they could add the Viera by adding bunny ears to the elezens

I would be ok with a viera that has normal hands and feet. I still want viera in the game.

Didn't seem to be a new race in the logo was there? But then there aren't Au Ra in the HW logo.

I still believe SE will add viera to the game if the demand is high enough. I hope the people who want viera will speak up more, and like posts that are in favor of viera. If more people who want viera support it frequently, and there is a lot of us, the more likely it is SE will notice and take it into consideration. They have rejected the idea once, but it is not set in stone. For those of you who want viera like I do, keep up the support.

Just add Viera as a new sub-race to Miqo'te. Replace tails and ears into bunny-ears and scut and name them "Keeper of the Stars". No need to make an entire new race.

Well you are actually asking for a hyur with the bunny ears from GS ^^"
