Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

they're essential just Rabbit Miqos only with more beast like feet.

Those Feet are the issue actually from what I understand, they would need to remodel every Footwear to fit Viera.

Viera was also the most voted for race in a poll so im not sure about this "minority"

If you mean that 2.0 Poll that was something like "Beastlike Race" and not specifically Viera. We got the Au'Ra from that though Viera where considered with Artwork and all.
It can still happen but my worry is though that people have rather specific expectations and don't just want "Hyur now with Bunny Ears".
Which in my Opinion is the Issue actually, if they make Viera many People will be disappointed because S-E might make cuts to make them better fit a Hyur like mold.
Not being against Viera (if people would be happy why not) just worry about people ending up disappointed.

this boots are the viera feet :x

Why it don't make sense to have Viera here in FFXIV.
This is against their law, referred to as the "Green Word," which forbids contact with the outside world. once a viera breaks this law, they are considered viera no more and are regarded as outcasts.

exept now we know that viera are part of this world, they are considered like beastman tribes (or barbarian) however, vangaa too, and they was part of the army of dalmasca, means it's not too far fetched to think the viera of FF14 have another policies than the viera of FF12.

the question is not, do we will see the Viera in FF14, it's a fact now, we will see the viera, the question is do they will be playable, it was asked for long and not by a minority or this thread will have been dead by now.

They aren't going to maintain that aesthetic for every single of boots released, thus it's little more than a unique design and nothing indicative of Viera. Not to mention, none of the existing gear works on their model.

Not to mention FFXIV's fascination for "pretty" races. XD

It has nothing to do with fascination but ease of development. The devs outright said every piece of gear is essentially stretched out to fit each specific race's propositions. You cannot accomplish that without a uniform design. Furthermore, JP, apparently, despises bestial races whereas NA is a bit more split on the idea.. Hence why Au Ra became what they are.
