Viera will likely undergo a similar makeover. I don't think this game needs any additional playable races, anyway. I'd sooner see some additional character customisation options added to those that exist already.
I mean they already had concept art for both, so they're at the very least considering a Tactics 'cutesy' version and have been for awhile. Frankly I want them to go with the FF12 version. While I happen to have an Au Ra half of them look like creepy porcelain dolls to me and I don't want the same to happen with the Viera.
