Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

[Duskane]

Why should SE as a business add in a race that the minority of their customers want?

what implies that people wanting viera is a minority
is it wrong to support such minority if so
Viera was also the most voted for race in a poll so im not sure about this "minority"

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.

They were not implying that the people wanting Viera are the minority, but more that the majority of people seem to prefer races to be more cutesy/dainty (like miqo/au ra/hyurs) and so it may not make sense for them to give us the Fran model. The "stronger" races, especially on the female side, are definitely in the minority.

For me, the perfect solution would be to have one clan be the XII version, while the other clan gives the cuter tactics version.

The issue there remains that we're now basically get two races added with one theme.

I view it more like the midlander/Highlander option. I am assuming they will pick just one style due to the amount of effort needed, but I can dream

The only reason the Midlander/Highlander divide exists is because Hyurs are... Hyur. Humans are inherently bland compared to other races (no tails, no weird ears, no difference in eyes, etc) so they have to have more variety in faces and physique to compensate for that.

Viera are a race with unique features (well as unique as you can get for being a human with rabbit ears) so they'd have more potential options compared to a regular Hyur, so there'd really be no point in having completely different clans.

i mean this patch certainly hinted at the viera... I mean they're mentioned by name in the quests for the 24 man raid and you know who has the whole moon rabbit ear things going for her so all this teasing is gonna hurt if it doesnt happen

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.

But then I am sure people will be thinking of Viera final fantasy tactics advanced where they roam around freely though probably outcast.

I would rather have another race than this I mean bunny race how would headgear look and next thing you know it people begging for ears to be removed.

I mean why not this.
ronso


or another small race like moogles.

[Rofel]

I'd rather have ronsos too, something better than people with animal ears.

But the vieras on XIV won't be exactly as XII. Even on Tactics Advance universe they were not so reclusive so they don't have to make it the same in here.

i was like you until i notice something interesting with the 4.3

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.
