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

[Fredco191]

I do hope the male option for Viera height maxes out to that of a female midlander, while female Viera stay more akin to female Roegadyn. Given what they did with AuRa, i say the reverse would be welcome.

If they do something like this then yeah. (I’ll more than likely do it anyway due to being a Fantasia addict.)

I hope they make elezen/roe level tall fierce vieras instead of more copypasted pint-sized moeblob waifus like they did with au ra. Or best-case scenario, make them like highlanders/midlanders so we can have both options!

Well Fran is 6'2, which is shorter than the shortest female Roegadyn (that's excluding ears, of course. I imagine ears will be in different positions depending on the head gear, either the clipping hell will be worse than the Au Ra horns and tails in general).

No idea if someone mentioned or not, to lazy to check all posts. But I am fairly convinced the "guest" character that will appear in the next Ivalice raid will be Fran. I expect tall Viera as everyone knows them. The best example for a race that has been introduced 1:1 are the Bangaa's with previous Ivalice runs, even the Nu mou look very similar too as we know them. There is only one slight chance that we will get small Viera (like people posted already) and that will be maybe the sub-race to Viera, Feol. This is all just a prediction, but knowing they said "Balthier wont make it but someone else instead" is a hyper hint.

Side note:
In the concept art, the shield has a number 5 and what looks like two moons.... but you could also read it as 5.0!
Has that been there all along since 2013!?

Imagine what they do with miquote ears on the old helmets... but with those giant ears...

Also no, I'm not changing since they aren't going to be as goofy as male ro's.

I know a lot of people are looking forward to this new race and it has been easily one of the highest requested races, but man, I couldn't have been more disappointed by the "announcement". ='D The game already feels like a Furry Waifu simulator at times. Often I'm the only Hyur male in a Trial, with the rest being female Miqo'te. Now those cat ears will be replaced by bunny ears.

[Duskane]

I do hope viera are a good in between of Au ra and Miqote i like both but Au ra can be too grumpy looking and Miqote always have that smug look (unless your grumpy face 4)
Calm looking like elezen

[Ryaz]

Nope.

Just afraid we're going to see a lot of Juni Taisen cosplay running around. Look it up.

I would love for you guys to get another smaller cute race. It would be fantastic. I just don't want the race I love to be overwritten with small fuzzy bunnies. That being said I apologize. It's just so much frustration leaking out. On the topic asked. Yes I will be fantasiaing to a Viera. I'll probably change all my characters to them.

I know how you feel Zakuno, im biting my nails till the official reveal :/ I really dont want them to mess this one up,been wanting this since i first got to that Akihiko Yoshidas character creation DREAM screen 4 years ago (alsmot 5 now) it was one of the major things for me to try FFXIV.

Lets keep this up guys so they actually stay truthful to the original ones! Maximum Effort!
