Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

[Alacran]

First, they couldn't animate non-humans to show emotions, then it was too much work to animate them, now it's why bother? Like the others said, why bother adding any at all? There are no Viera lurking in Ul'dah anywhere, I haven't seen any mentions of long eared humanoids in game. The lore you are referencing is from completely different games. Adding any race human or otherwise will require adding them to the lore of this one. Just like any non-human races they were thinking about pulling. It would be more honest just to say you like Viera and want them, then to tell others they can't disagree or like others. No matter what the title of this is, posting in a discussion forum is going to get opposing views.

Whoa there Kitten, i never said they couldn't. I was not referencing any specific lore in my race run down, only providing examples of beastly races since my asking for examples went unanswered. Next never have i tried to hide i wanted Viera in this game hence the reason i an posting in a Viera support thread. Lastly in so far as Auri being mentioned before introduction, as far i know only the Odin minion makes reference to them, from that one mention we have AuRa (please prove me wrong, i love lore and would enjoy the read. Seriously no sarcasm.) before Yugiri ever "stepped foot" on Erozea.

Lore of another region, a forgotten parallel world, a secret society is not so hard to implement, nor is it as resource consuming as animating a nearly unused player race for the sake of "diverse options". What was expanded upon in 2.0 was simply what FFXI never got around to doing, Kitten.
