Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

[Lambdafish]

Work is work but removing possible content with no substance still doesn't validate your opinion.

This is kinda misconstruing what I said. I'm not saying that the possibility should be removed because it has no substance (glamour is true endgame after all), I'm saying that the work is so great that it would actively take away from other pieces of content (most likely the amount of gear sets that the dev team is able to make), and I am wondering if the sacrifice is worth the effort.

If you wanna offer a replacement, that's fine but if not you're just impeding on a dream that doesn't belong to you, nor interrupts your lifestyle or game experience.

I'm sorry? Am I not allowed to post feedback and discussion for the devs to listen to? I haven't actually impeded on the dreams of many people in this thread, I think it is fine to want Viera, but when people are actively assuming that pieces of content mean that Viera is happening, spreading misinformation about the dev teams views, and being toxic towards anyone who disagrees with their "Viera or riot" mentality, then I am going to respond. Though since you asked so nicely.....

Okay but where is the substitute plan?

Substitute plan: Ok, so the entire problem with adding new races is the race model, and fitting gear to it, so the natural way to eliminate problems is additional character creation options, and new clans. I had an idea yesterday about a "wight lalafell" that natively has a skin tone and hair colour of a duskwight elezen or xaela Au ra, with eyes that glow a customisable colour. The reason I thought of this is that through this race you can give your lala dark blue skin and yellow eyes and become a true BLM. The point is that this is a new, fairly unique race that wouldn't cause skeletal problems.

If you want to go down the Viera route though, you could have beast-like roegadyn, with the males being inspired by galkas, and the females being inspired by Viera (without the ears). What could then happen is the dev team brings out the fran hairstyle for roes (and potentially all races), and a new headpiece called "Viera ears". Functionally you can create a Viera from all of these components without all of the problems that come with adding a new race in its entirety.

Like I said, you can feel freely about how you want, but this is a SUPPORT thread. Not a "why this shouldn't be a thing." Post.

It goes both ways, I'm allowed to have an opinion, and by shutting down half of the argument then you are denying me the option to care about the game. I don't actually have an issue with Viera, I have an issue with Viera being a huge strain on resources, and what I see from this thread is the community forcing the devs hand (Viera or riot etc.) on something that is going to be a huge amount of work and it makes me sad that we can't just let the devs create the game based on what is feasible and what they want to create (example: they can't design anything around Ivalice without Viera being mentioned, people here have said that they will be angry if Viera isn't in RtI, despite Viera having little to do with FFT that the raid is based on). I'm not stepping on the toes of support, I'm giving a much needed reality check to a certain demographic of Viera supporters.
