No. he is a secondary character from one of the least popular Final Fantasy games of all time.

ff5 ranked 5th on IGN in 2016 3rd on screenrant in november of 2016 8th on Dorkly on August 29, 2016 and 5th on kotaku (though i dont like this site.) in 2013 (when they ranked ff games)
it isnt the worst or one of the worst to most and nor is it one of the bests (with the exception of Screen rant.) how you feel of the game is subjective as with them, so *shrug*

Viera and Miquote are not furry/monster races, they're humans with VERY limited animal features, which is ok or even desirable on the asian market, contrary to fully furry/beast/monster races.

and yet with the hyperbole going over your head, here. the way i ment for it to be implied is, why not get rid of anything that isnt human, since that is one of the if not THE highest played races, not only this, but why focus on the way they would anthropomorphise when it could be even more so on a us and them sort of way, removing the Roegadyn, would then make them into enemy half giants, but the player base would be on the more popular human way, the awnser to this is typical in a RPG setting, thanks to dungions and dragons and the popularity it had world wide creating the staple of a human a elf some race that is more physicly empowerd and one that is short. the japanese do focus on the 'cute' factor as shown with lalafells, western games have done this to a point as well.

but to say that all japan would ignore a beast race to imply that it would not be used in the slightest in japan would undermine those who would choose said race. such as for example removing the roe race would cause a backlash from the player base who enjoy that race.

No. They're not important because their popularity isn't even in the same galaxy as Fran.

using results from nova crystalis of a popularity vote for female charecters in japan in 2013 Frans name did not appear once on the list. this was after the game had come out and had time to curculate the stores in it's respected region, there has not been another vote like this from Squere enix. so if she is popular now it hasnt been documented.

Yes, you're making false comparisons to prove false points. Good job.

Hyperbolic statements are not to be taken extreamly siriously.

We could also get starships and aliens. Your point?

and with this i could also get a wolf and furry race along side or insted of a Viera, your point good sir.

You're comparing single player RPGs where one player has control on a large party (and the ability to leave members out), which allows a lot more room for "token" characters, and a MMORPG in which most players will play only one character at the same time. You also bring up non-playable race which has absolutely no bearing here.
Basically, more random points that have absolutely no bearing on the conversation about a playable race in a MMORPG.

i am comparing the game to the franchise before it yes, but even in games such as this there are forms of tokens that could be taken or left out, with this you could be happy with the fact a furry anthropomorphic race excists in this game, without the need for you to ever make one, since we know we will interact with this race during the events of stormsblood.
a franchise will always play within there own strenghs in a seires and final fantasy has always been known for unique and diverse charecters of veering ages and species, this would be like saying that the MMO for the Elder Scrolls game wont have Kahjit or Argonian simply becuse noone likes them, when they can be called 'token' charecters in that game. same goes for the Charr in Giuld wars 2 which were not a playable race in the first game. though the player base for that race is smaller then the others, they are still a beloved playable race in the franchise of that series. and within that to write of a complete concept of an idea to play it safe doesn't always tend to get as much of a good result or positive fan feed back from there respected communities without a form of experimentation.

the viera are considderd becuse of there fan following then i compare them again to the beloved Ronso of final fantasy X and to the Bumcians of Final fantasy 9 or the Bangaa from final fantasy 12 and even the MOOGLES from the whole franchise, to which all (baring 11 and 14) are from single player games. with that i am comparing them to the other races established in the games history, and that comparason is just due to how both of the original designs and spechies both in all technicality come from a single player game. with that i state my point of, to put it simply "why not both"

but hey if they always go for the cute and human races, then i guess we wont get Viera or the wolves playable and insted we will get the humming way since they are humanised quite a bit very small and made to be 'adorable' using your own reasoning there. even more since 'Usagi' or Lupine type monsters in varying different Japanese games (i.E Pokemon) are very popular.
