Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

I really hope we get no small/ child size races. Not only for the negative issues it always brings but also due to gear textures and graphics are canalized when showcased on said races. I can't count how many times i have disappointed to see gear previews on a Lalafel... "Great arms, legs, and boots are hidden/ none existent..."

I think gear on Lalafells gets altered slightly because their body proportions are... whacky (feet and hands are tiny, etc). Kids in this game are just smaller versions of their adult forms.
That said, given how... "kinky" some of the armour is in this game (that I have 100% taken advantage of with my Roe), it's best childlike versions of the Viera concept does not come to be playable.

Aye my thoughts exactly. No reason for a child race in this game, far to many times i have seen what communities use them for... Frankly it's sick and i find it disturbing.

Given that Yoshi P has said it himself that certain armors are already problematic due to their reveling nature, (in reference to the possibility of Vagrant Story gear) already we can see what many have done with play dead emote on Lalafell's

Even now, i truly believe that the small Viera in the concept art is nothing more than child versions of the race... as every other races has... (except Roegadyn...)

... and as a representation of a child should not be playable.
