I feel people are in denial about what the majority of the international player base wants. Has no one picked up on the fact that the final au ra design chosen is a cute, petite female instead of a beast woman because... you guessed it, the majority of the playerbase world wide likes Miqo'te and Midlander females! The "strong, capable female" races in this game are a train wreck imho. Why do they have such masculine emotes? Why can't tall, heavily muscled women be elegant and retain some sort of grace?

Why should SE as a business add in a race that the minority of their customers want? Why not use their resources to please as many customers as possible? Let's be realistic. Fantasia sales will explode and possibly crash the Mog Station the moment they announce Vieras. I absolutely adore vieras and can only hope they are elegant and mature in their emotes and voices. PLEASE let them not seem so butch (no offense to anyone who is/loves that aspect, it's just not my aesthetic!).
