Viera Race "Confirmed" for 5.0! Are you gonna change races?

[laurtias]

I mentioned this once before in another thread, but I really hope that if you create a new Viera character, they let you start in a new zone and pick up with the new Expansion. Going through 2.0 as an Au Ra was very immersion-wrecking.

i will but it STRONGLY depends on how they look, if it looks like as they do in ff12 then no, but seeing how cute the nu mou became i am now waiting to see if the fuel viera are cute as sin

I'm too fond of my gorgeous Highlander to change her, but I will enjoy seeing what other people do with a new race. Especially one so many are this excited about.

Fantasia sales are going to skyrocket.

I've been a huge fan of Viera since playing FFXII years and years ago! I've been wanting Viera to be a part of this game for the longest time and I would lose my shit if they add both the Pure Blood and Feol versions as separate unique clans based off the originals to the game!

It would fit the game so well, too, since Gridania is a heavily forested area where Viera could have easily stayed hidden and unknown for generations while their Feol counterparts could have started sprouting up in the more concrete areas of Eorzea, such as Ul'dah and La Nocesa.

Although, this little idea/theory/hoped of the Viera's origins being like that most likely won't happen considering Dalmasca was introduced as a side dungeon raid content. So it now makes me wonder if we'll be able to truly explore Dalmasca and the Viera's home forest once Shadowbringers comes out and meet both the clans like we did for Au'ras in Stormsblood. I hope to the 12 above, yeeeeeesh! :3

I got mad shivers reading your post lol I thought about that as well, how are they gonna implement/explore the Viera race and the 2 types. I would love to explore more of Ivalice outside instances as well, it fits, without a doubt in my mind, very well with Eorzea.
And i agree with you about Gridania, it is indeed a place where Viera could live/hide but i dont think they will go that way either, they will probably just drop it into the game and that will be it lol (god I hope not)
But... for a second, just for a second, imagine that they actually add a piece of Ivalice to explore as we have this main story about the Vieras against whatever evil is coming our way and we have to tag along with them, journey to the Eryut Village, put aside our differences, and learn about.... the MIST :O and together with the Vieras, now fully powered due to the power of the Mist, we fight our way against the forces of Darkness!!

Cliche? yes, yes it is XD shut up!

It don't matter to me. I'm probably the only one that doesn't care about a new race. I'm happy for everyone thats been wanting Viera that they got it. The only benefit to me is there should be fewer lalafells.

Heavily depends on how they look and what sort of animation set they'll use.

Would've been nice to see what kind of Viera we'll end up getting in-game, but for now it's just mystery. Since take Feol, I like how they look, but not really that big fan of Viera itself.

What would be funny is if the Feol were Lalafell sized and the Viera were Elezen sized. Probably not going to be the thing (footwear concerns among them), it's more likely that the Viera would be Elezen sized and then maybe one tribe is Teen-Elezen sized (Like Alphinaud.)

[Leadleaf]

If they get the XII look and don't have atrocious animations, I'd be well up for it. This should have a high pop even if they stay large.

[Dreamsoap]

Like everyone else. If it's short and cutesy, no ty.

[Dualblade]

While I'm routing for Viera to look good/faithful to its Ivalice versions, I probably won't change to it regardless of how it turns out.
