I am just good with anything but Viera or any other cutesy, over-sexed, anthropomorphized species. I understand it as, culturally, cutesy seems to be preferred in Japan and I have a particular distaste of cutesy anything. But seriously a well designed more dangerous looking race would be wonderful as the Au-ra were kind of a disappointment in that area for me.

More rl racial diversity would be welcome as well since it's difficult to make a character that doesn't just look white or Asian. But the system as a whole really needs a revamp.

If this was a Japan issue, I would have agreed, but the kawaii moe races are also played by the majority of the NA/EU/AUS community. Female Miqo'te (now female Au Ra aswell) is the most played race + gender combo. Aslong as Roegadyn, Elezen and Hyur Highlanders are the least played races, I just can not see SE deviating from the moe type of races.

Personaly I want them to add the Ivalice Viera, the artwork that they showed at the Fanfest 2014, showed a Viera that looks very similiar to the Ivalice version. The bad news is that they also showed moe smaller Viera artwork aswell. I fear if Viera were to be added to this game, then SE would pick the smaller Viera over the Ivalice version. According to my friend who plays on the Japanese servers, the Japanese players love the idea of playing a cute smaller Viera, which makes sense, because the Lalafell is the most played race over there.

Ivalice looking Viera.

Moe?

(letters)

Moe is a Japanese term used in connection with manga or anime to describe something precious, usually (but not always) the ideal of youthful and innocent femininity. Written with the kanji for "to bud or sprout" (萌), the concept covers a range of ideal behaviour for youthful female characters in manga or anime. To be moe, a character can be eager or perky, not overly independent, and call forth a desire in the viewer to protect them and nurture them.

Eh. I'd just rather have Xaela women look more buff and Raen men look more lean.

They can't change a clan of a race after they already been out because some people who picked that clan already like the way they look.

That's sexist. Guess women aren't allowed to have any say in wanting sexy things or are all prudes who want no part in it.

Are Au Ra reptiles, though? I know it's a fantasy game and all that, but shouldn't reptiles be mostly, if not, 100% covered in scales and not 'some here, mammal/human skin everywhere else?'

When I think of a demi-human reptilian race, the Silurian from Doctor Who comes to mind.
