Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

Galka are also called Roegadyn in this game and can come in female flavour (that was actually new and different). Will the 'Viera' (if they ever be a thing) still be called Viera? or something completely different?

It's fine to be called something different or not. Mythra is miqo'te in FFXIV.

It is MORE of a concern for Viera. Any original race can be whatever it wants to be because it doesn't have any standards to live up to. People looked at Au ra and went "cool, the new race is lizard people with goku hair", if Viera isn't announced, half the people will go "yay viera!" and half the people will go "thats not what Viera is supposed to be", and as I have learnt, if there is anything where existing standards exist, not everyone will be happy (triple triad is a prime example). This applies to all existing races that they may want to implement.

It worked before, you're acting like this is something new.

Those races represent the MMO archetypes of final fantasy MMOs, you can be human, cat-person, elf, giant, or gnome. There is variety there, and they just used the same template for 1.0 as they did in XI (remember that these jobs were designed in 1.0 when the game was more of a sequel to XI), so the argument is different. Viera is literally taking an iconic race from final fantasy lore and implementing it into the game, its not an archetype, it is a reference.

Mithra =/= miqote, mithra = animal-girl archetype = miqote
