Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

[Saito_S]

It mostly comes from the in-game polls the Developers put out prior to Heavensward, in which the most popular choice across the five regions was a, "Mammalian demi-beastmen (ex. a rabbit-eared race such as the Viera from FFXII, etc.)"

Oh, thanks, I'd never seen that before! Explains some of it, anyway.

To be fair, though, that was almost five years ago, before ARR was even out. Things can change over that amount of time, and with the game now having been out for a few years and established its identity, I maintain that in more recent times (the last year or two), outside of the dedicated threads, I never see people discussing Viera being added to this game. Have the devs themselves addressed it since that poll, for that matter? Whether in a "no we are not adding this" or a "we still might add this someday but aren't sure" way? Or have they been silent on it?

It's a place that exists in Islabard, but it's most likely just like Doma and Crystal Tower. Same name, but not the same place.

"A place that exists"? In what context? I don't see it on the (4.0 expanded) map of Eorzea. Where/how was this called out or confirmed or whatever?
