Viera are just the new meme race at this point and they're not even playable
Maybe people new to Final Fantasy through XIV should play XII or Tactics on the side just to see how much more there is to Ivalice than just bunny girls, they're not even that big of a deal in their own game either.

Can you imagine each new raid coming and the threads that follow?
4.1 - Where's the Viera?
4.3 - Are Viera coming?
4.5 - When are we going to see Viera?
