I'd personally count Au ra women as short, they just seem middling because Lalafell are a thing imo.5'2 is the standard height for Japanese women. Not sure about other Asian countries, 4'11 is a little on the small side, but we are also given height sliders to make our characters shorter or taller within a given range. Au Ra would still fall into a middling range imo.
I realize this thread is kind of old, and things may have changed since the original posting date, but I would still like to give support for the concept behind this new race.
Everyone has different tastes. Some people can't stand the lalas, some people hate the M'qotes, and so on. Introducing this new race would be great, as it would coincide with the current events taking place in the world of Final Fantasy Tactics. I love the idea of using both concepts as you stated with the Hyurs, where we have Highlanders and Midlanders; beefy men and women, and the more delicate.
The Viera would be a wonderful addition to the pallet of options we currently have, and something new to enjoy. This is the world of Final Fantasy, and the creations of the brilliant minds of seasoned Japanese artists behind it. Stepping outside of that would ruin everything. So, more power to this idea! Haters will be haters, even though they know they love it and are too proud to admit it.
196 pages of this thread.. yeah im pretty sure SE can’t not add Viera.
Face it, it’s likely to happen.
SE could just make male Viera look like the bunny moogles from Ivalice. They're cute as buttons!
My main issue with Viera is that they're just not unique in design and it doesn't help we got Au Ra first (even less so after seeing the concept art). Humans with animal parts. So fascinating.
I'll give them a pass if SE can release them with their 'beast feet,' as that could mean SE might be able to make beastmen races playable someday, but if they can't do that, then I'll hate them as much as I hate the Au Ra :T
I was a supporter of the addition of Vieras but, when I see what we saw in concept art for Aura and what we got........I'd rather not have a Viera than a Wallmart Viera :/
People don't know how to take criticism anymore, and bad play is rewarded with with a coddling mentality. Yes, this is a casual game for the most part - that doesn't mean people need to walk on eggshells in fear of getting reported for pointing out things. This whole 'please don't say anything even slightly negative' mentality that we seem to be going towards and the devs seemingly pushing towards it is creating a disturbing trend.
Not really? They have only ever appeared in games that involve Ivalice, and even then Ivalice isn't THE setting of this game compared to Tactics and XII. Humans and Moogles are the only races that are guarenteed to show up in some form and not always as a race/sentinant being in the case of Moogles.
Don't take this as being against Viera being added. Nuetral to that myself. But Viera aren't that important to the FF series.
I need Viera to be tol ladies, pls. Taller than their male counterparts, at least for one clan.
Plus who doesn't wanna see some cute shortie boys running all over the place with bunny ears and a little butt floof?
