the lack of tall female races

Elezen? Roegadyn? Highlanders?

Tsukuyomi got bunny ears ; )

For the Ivalice-Raid, we actually see some Baangas. I wonder why we didnt saw any Vieras. Maybe because the Dev team is actually working on their ingame modells ; )

its because of a chinese folklore about a rabbit that lives on the moon

[Jadub2k]

or because there holding them for 4.5? Holding the thing you wanna see the most at the very end lol

Eh, I'd personally prefer they upgrade the Character Creation before adding any more races. And if they did, I'd want something more unique. Dunno, Yukes or something.

That said, if they do end up adding Viera for the next expac, I'd want them to add both varieties they've shown; the classic FFXII Viera as well as the 'cute' variation.
People seem to constantly go on about how they want more tall, 'badass' females, and I agree that we lack those (4-5 out of 7 options are smaller), but we similarly lack smaller, slender males (funny enough, 4-5 out of 7 options for males are tall, only Lalafell and maybe Miqo'te could be considered small, and even Miqo's are a stretch depending on what you're looking for).
Yes, I know. "But we don't need more small females!" Well, we don't really need more 'tall' males either. And I don't want SE to pull a reverse Au Ra on us so both options are the way to go, imo.

Hell, I even think the smaller variation of Viera could potentially add more variety than the taller ones could. I mean, taller FFXII-ish female Viera would likely end up looking very similar to female highlanders, and taller FFXII-ish males would probaly share the Miqo bodytype, just taller. (Even though there would certainly be a place for a tall and slender male - and no, Elezen don't count with their alien proportions)
Whereas the smaller Variation would add a) smaller (somewhere between Lalafell and shortest male Miqo), slim males, which is something we don't have at all yet (Lalas are positively tiny and somewhat rotund, and Miqos have typical shonen proportions), and b) smaller females with a bit more, uh, junk in the trunk and a similarly sized bust area. (I'll just point at this as an example, not a bunny, I know, but the bodytype fits. Au Ra may be similar, but are considerably more lithe)

(Forgive the rambliness, but the heat here is cooking my braincells)

Elezen? Roegadyn? Highlanders?

lack means not much
and High lander females are not very tall

Out of the 6 races 2.5 of them are tall. Also how is 6 foot not tall?

For those that understand Japanese, does the Minor Race mention of viera appear in the JP text? Also are the JP players making noise about it and viera in general in the forums? Because lets be real here they're the ones the devs listen to more often than not.

Anyone willing to take a look?

I still say Viera are overrated and I want Gria.



...But both would be fine too.

I would die for Gria. But it's much more likely that Viera will happen. I feel like they've been dropping hints in this last patch, unless it's wishful thinking. But I choose to hope XD

It's not that I have anything against Viera, but I would like something more unique to be added instead. Or for them to try and loosen up the existing restrictions with customization and add more options.
