Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

[Nestama]

The first Tactics was created before viera existed, that cannot be counted as proof. How can they have existed when they were not created?

Because it's still Ivalice and it takes place after FFTA, FFTA2 and FFXII (and you said every, but that dance is done).

Majority can only be proven where there's 2 options. Yet, if we count all the people that are for or against viera in this thread (number of like votes vs those saying they don't want them in this thread) you will find that the majority is indeed on the for side.
As for the jump potion, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority are for it (go ahead and count the 50+ pages, you brought up the jump potions).

Your argument about "it's not 1% of the population" doesn't scientifically make prove your point. This isn't different than how polls are done in any scientific way. We're not even 1% of the population yet we are scientifically provable to represent the community. Wonder why Yoshida and his team did those polls? Wonder why they take Q&A questions only here in the forum?

You're a majority in this thread, but outside of it, you're a vocal minority. Can you show me the most recent poll Yoshi-P and his team has done on these forums? If they date back to 2012, then your argument is moot (as those are polls neither of us could vote in because ARR came out in 2013. Also, isn't the playerbase for ARR/HW much larger than 1.X's?). I also don't recall Viera ever being mentioned in the most recent Q&A's, either... in fact, I think the last time Viera was ever mentioned was back in that one interview where Yoshi-P claimed they looked like Miqo'te.

Also, this is the quote from the interview Lambdafish is referring to:

DS: There has been a lot of speculation about the name of the new raid “Return to Ivalice.” Is the name just homage to Yasumi Matsuno who will design the raid, or there is more to it?

NY: It’s definitely not an homage. It also depends on how the players will interpret it when they’ll actually enter the raid. In terms of the world of Ivalice, and whether or not it is connected to the realm of Final Fantasy XIV, it’s still a mystery, and that’s something that you will have to enjoy while playing the scenario.

All I can say is that I encourage people to get an idea from Final Fantasy Tactics, and sort of brief themselves on that lore.
