Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

To be quite honest, I can speak for myself, and dont need folks to put words in my mouth.

No one was putting words in your mouth. Stop getting ultra defensive over something you're hyping up to be based on your own desires when nothing is set in stone yet. Not all words are meant to hurt you and if you can't take criticism towards over what you're posting on a public forum, then maybe not say it at all? Or at least, don't immediately be spiteful towards others about it. I'm glad you can speak for yourself, so can I. If you don't like what I said, then you are free to ignore it as everyone else has done so far. Chill out.

I could care less if they look like Fran but Im being realistic here. Chances are we only got Viera at all and so quickly because SE already has the assets for them from XII. Its not much more of a stretch to use those assets to create or tweak models for XIV. Atleast that would be my assumption.

If you could care less that they look like Fran or not, then why are you telling people to save their griping in the first place? You can't have it both ways. Furthermore, pulling assets from a single player game which runs on an entirely different game engine and coding is a stretch actually. They can't just pull the in-game models from XII and simply copy paste them into XIV like an editing software while only making a few minor adjustments towards the mesh models. They are going to have to recreate the in-game Viera models from scratch while loosely basing them off of Fran's outward appearance at the very least. However, Fran's armor never really changed in appearance throughout XII so, they are going to have to model them to at least move and fit for each gear set appropriately with as much minimal clipping as possible (hahaha) to make it not so jarring. If you were being realistic about this, you'd probably realize that it's not as easy as you make it sound to be based on your own assumptions.

It's why I had said what I had said. We can only hope that they look like Fran for that reason stated above and also because SE has a multi-year long history of telling us all one thing and doing the opposite usually. It is what it is.

But in truth, NO ONE, not I or any other player will truly know what they look like until they either leak or are officially shown off. My opinion is nothing more than speculation as is yours, or anyone else's.

Great. Glad you realized that. Because if we're talking about speculation, then there's no reason why you have to be so hostile or tell others to stop griping about it either.

You just put words in my mouth again, but whatever. If anything I'm fiesty and irritable today because I'm dealing with a very off the wall 8mo old. My apologies if that is bleeding through my posts right now. That said though while I look forward to Viera. My thoughts are my own, I'm not "hyped" because I have been burned by SE's announcements before but I am intrigued by it and I do look forward to it.

And I told one person to save their griping because we already have an idea of what to expect. I highly doubt viera will be changed too much from what peopel expect otherwise it would be a pointless endeavor for SE to make something that fans have been clamoring for only to change it into something it wasn't. Why else would fans beg for Viera only to get "not-quite Viera". Seems an odd thing to do.
Would they do that? Who knows it SE? Maybe... But i kind of doubt it. I think its safe to speculate that it will atleast resemble Viera from XII in most aspects.

On any other time I would agree and believe you with this statement. But, then I look back at All Greed Loot for 24-man Raids, Au Ra, Eureka, and the bunny suit male glamour fiascos...and I just...I really just can't have faith in SE as a company sometimes.

The logical thing would be not to do it as you said, but....it's SE. It's like a 50/50 thing with them whether or not they'll listen to anyone but the JP player-base.
