I just don't understand the Viera hate. "Just a re-skin of current races." "Tired of same old same old." To say nothing of the out right vitriol by some of those more vocal against their implementation (What did they ever do to you guys? You guys POW's of a long forgotten oppressive Viera crusade?). I feel there is a distinct reason for it, what some see as "Not unique enough." I see as consistent.

Very few times has a player race in any FF title, ever broken the mold. Nearly all are feminine (sometimes effeminate) protagonist that the series as a whole is known for.



When a more unique race is introduced it's more often a joke character.





I'm not certain what rabbits or bunny people in general may have done to some individuals to illicit such opposition, nor do i understand why their implementation would lead to the universe ending, however i feel people who claim resources are better spent elsewhere need to to remember.

Diadem was rolled out twice over, we got Lords of Verminion, and Triple Triad/ battle hall is only moderately entertaining (something i only use for lore and the occasional MGP grind)

I want more character creation options (some races need more face options, facial hair, AuRa horn options, ect...), sub races in the current roster would be great (Half Elezen, Eastern Roegadyn, other AuRA tribes), however with all that i still want Viera as it's own race more reminiscent of FFXII.

The oft used AuRa/ Viera concept art captured them perfectly. I do not see an issue with them being introduced to Hydalen. Whether from a pocket space hidden in the Twelves Wood (FFVI Espers-FFXII Viera), or from another region of Hydalen, their implementation would be most welcome by those not afflicted with combinations of Viera and night terrors.
