I think you meant to type YES.

Yes!

Actually I meant HELL NO. That Viera thing needs to die in the same hole as that motorcycle hype (both of which Yoshi-P regrets having shown concept art/footage for).
Aside from being ugly as sin there's also nowhere it would fit in the lore. Moreover, you wouldn't even get what you're after.

What you want-


What you'd get-


If I seem short and testy about this, it's because I am. How could I not be after watching people beat a dead horse for years on end? And the icing on the cake for me? I'm on BALMUNG. What do you figure it's going to look like HERE of all places if they gave these people bunny girls?

(both of which Yoshi-P regrets having shown concept art/footage for).

Please cite your source where Yoshi says he regrets showing the Viera concept. I have only seen where he regrets showing the bike because that will never(his words) be added.
Last I saw him say about the Viera was that they were working on how to get the feet to work with footgear currently in the game.

The one thing that stood out to me is the proof that SE is going to mess up the new housing wards.

Yoshida says "everyone can get a house fair and square!" But then in this interview says "we don't want people to make any initial preparations." The fact that he's worried about people making "preparations" makes it pretty clear to me that not everyone will be able to get a house. I interpret the statement "everyone can get a house fair and square" as meaning anyone with the gil shall be able to get a house, period. Anything less than that is completely unacceptable.

I think he's talking about the way housing currently works allows players to have 1 house per character and 1 house for their FC.

That's basically two possible houses per character as long as their character has enough rank.

Have you not been paying attention to the Return to Ivalice raid? The previously Ivalice-exclusive races of Seeq and Bangaa now canonically exist in FFXIV. It is no longer a remote stretch for them to add Viera to the game.

It would be so cool if we could get a PvP mode kind of like Dark Age of Camelot's RvR! That game's PvP was ahead of its time!

Players: WE WANT THIS!!
GameDevs: That would be really hard to code and time consuming to implement with our current limitations.
Players: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!! THE OTHER GAME DID IT ALREADY!
GameDevs: They are built on an entirely different base and use different equipment that monitors and transfers the data differently.
Players: YOU SHOULD JUST DO IT THEIR WAY!

Bring back the Squadron Engage glitch.

Na, its more like,
GameDevs: We have this anarchic system in place and will not deviate from it because... (insert one track mind that centers on everyone wanting and should be in community wards, reasons.)
Anyway, if these changes to apartments work out big enough and with full functionality of a housing plot, that will go a long way to alleviating concerns of most of the player base.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!

yup, i put that part.
