Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

Copy and pasted from the other thread.

Most of the time, when I see people supporting the idea of adding the Viera, they post pictures of Fran, usually showing off her figure. This leads me to believe that many want Viera for the attractiveness of the race that was made a staple in FFXII. Not from Tactics, despite Viera being present in these games as well. Whether or not this is true is another story. I don't mind as long as people then don't go on to request for Viera-specific armor. Oh yeah, and they don't mind losing the claw-like feet and make them flat footed. Yoshida already said they won't put in a race that will make them have to change the armor models for them.

To be specific, I hardly saw images like this:

and saw more images like this (actually saw quite a few Fran cosplayers):

when it came for supporting images in Viera request threads

The other thing people tend to keep showing are the Au Ra concept art featuring a leporidae-like race. That's the thing- it's Au Ra concept art, showing the SE team was trying to decide how to make the Au Ra look. We wound up with lizard-like, or dragon-like, features, but could have also as easily wound up with the leporidae look. Personally, I'm glad FFXIV went with a more-original race; it's bad enough people say FFXIV is a [spiritual] sequel to FFXI because Hyur look like Hume, Roegadyn look like Galka, Lalafell look like Tarutaru, Elezen look like Elvaan and Miqo'te look like Mithra. Even if that's where all the similarities end.

I'd like to see Viera added- as another non-playable race. Outside of beast-like creatures (dragons, Quirin, Moogles, Ixali, Kobalds, you get the idea), all we have are the Padjal, which are just a mutation of the Hyur specific to the Black Shroud. I suppose you can count the Garleans as well.
