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

[Nestama]

Getting the "moetrash" option would add more variety than sexy chick with animal ears which you are already playing.

What would really add variety is making a short race that isn't another moe blob/potato (think Tolkien dwarf, or Rocket Raccoon).

haha im glad then
im doing it again actually, started a couple of months ago a new game. Would be cool to know what you think of it as you get closer to the end :P

Oh I'll definitely tell you once I get started on it again. From what I can remember where I last left off on my Ps4 version I was just escaping the airship Shiva(?). It'll probably take me awhile to get towards the ending but I'm going to definitely enjoy the ride as I explore through it again!

On my old version I was well past the part where had to go save Fran's younger sister in that plains area where that one beast tribe(?) with the giant horns lived. I think that was one of my favorite races/beast tribes in the game as I enjoyed their lore alot and loved hanging out with them whenever I could! I hope I get to see them again in FFXIV though. ^^

Are you really far into the game after restarting it some couple months ago?


Also, what do you think if the MIST were somehow made into a new job class for FFXIV?

A trash panda with a really big gun as Vahlnir pointed out! >:3

Please go see Guardians of the Galaxy sometime, I'm sure you would love Rocket if you got to know his character! ^^


.....Now I kind of want a Rocket race now. O.o

On the flip side the other half of the community wants to reconceptualize viera as "Amazonian power lifters as tall as a tree, built like an ox, dimorphic like hyenas, legs of a wolf, dressed in skimpy leather, oh and bunny ears too" which would probably look as startling as it sounds. The cuter concept art is actually much closer to the design used in the majority of the series. While the main reason people are obsessed with Fran is because her depiction was gratuitous fan service with no apparent context. That's why I have way more faith in the developer's art department and their continuity editor getting things right than the community.

You can just compare the original to the cuter concepts and you can see the connection. So people that prefer the cute concepts aren't trying to change it into something it isn't at all.

If it's different enough from what's already available, yes. New is fun.

I will change if they are not a short generic potato like the lala or giraffe like proportions like the Elezen. Somewhere in the middle and I would change.
