Simple.
Read my entire post. Specifically this part: "If Viera already exist on Hydaelyn (under a different name) on Islabard or the New World, then they can eventually become playable maybe (and hopefully SE would actually redo some of the old ARR-SB cutscenes to have NPC's take a slight interest to the new race standing before them), but if they come to Hydaelyn from an optional side-story portal to Tactics Advance or XII's Ivalice... then I'm sorry, but no."
