Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

[RichardButte]

I'd much rather we had a race that was an ACTUAL bestial race instead of yet another "Human + animal ears/tail".

We already have humans with cat ears and humans with dragon/lizard horns.

How many more "Snapchat filter races" we need? :P

AuRa don't even make sense in 2.0 content.... Its not hard to write in rational if the devs really want to though. I don't see the point personally.

I'm aware of how odd it is that NPC's don't even bat an eyelid at the appearance of an Au Ra (especially Yugiri), however that doesn't change the fact that Au Ra already exist on Hydaelyn. So the player themselves can imagine their Au Ra came from Othard, or their characters family/ancestors came from Othard. 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.

You can't even imagine up a decent backstory to how something from a different world altogether winds up in Hydaelyn before it can without it sounding similar to a terrible self-insert fan-fiction.

No one said in the game that there is no such race as Viera. Au Ra didn't "exist" until it was made, either. Who's to say that there are no Viera in Hydelyn?! They may just have been somewhere where the player was not present.

Simple.

I don't think anyone's saying having the Viera be playable after being introduced from another world, the Viera would simply be from a different part of Hydaelin that we haven't explored yet (like the Ananta were always supposed to exist in Gyr Abania but no one mentions them prior to 4.0, even the Ala Mhigans who have supposedly lived next door for centuries). No one even knows if there'll even be a portal to Ivalice with the Return to Ivalice raid series, we KNOW Dalmasca exists in Ilsabard so it's not too far fetched to think "Ivalice" is a region inside Hydaelin.

Also, we may have the Viera in anything but name, they don't NEED to be called as such if they're tall bunny people with odd feet and sexy Icelandic accents. Also also, who says we can't have Viera AND more customization options?

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."

But we're supposed to kill the beasts. Why would we have one that's a WoL? That's completely backwards from the narrative.

No Game No Life. Next complaint?

Say what now? Just about every encounter with other races such as bestial races is about NOT killing them and repairing relations with them. We kill the clearly bad ones, we aint no Brotherhood of steel.
