Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

I think we are going to have both the tall version and the cute small version. Yoshi made an off comment about wearing a Peter Rabbit shirt also but stating it was too cute or something like that. It's just a guess but Yoshi is know for throwing out a lot of hints.

I’m still hoping that they do this.

If they do the opposite of what they DID to the Au Ra, I would be over the h*cking moon with excitement!

This thread made so many pages and it basically influenced the devs making Viera's as a race. Finally after 2 expansions we get them! Next we need to start a thread for a better character creation system for 6.0. Go go go go!
Kudos to all supporters!

Alot of people saying they don't want SE to do with Viera same as they did with Au Ra, i haven't been checking the forums much, so can someone tell me what did they exactly do to Au Ra that everyone hates so much? i'm enjoying being one enough as is...

ok so, what they did was they showed us concepts featuring highly draconic and demonic amazonian looking characters, some that were made smaller were made to looks more succubi while those taller looked more dragon like, in the end they chose some features from more humanoid designs to create the au ra that you see now.

during that time a lot of people hated the fact it was a quote "human with dragon parts slapped on" since they felt the concepts of more beastial dragon like au ra was replaced with "a more kawaii design" a lot of people were also put off by the sexual dimorphism between males and females. (yet i bet the same people who argued for no dimorphism would want it for viera in the reverse)

Ahh i see, gotta admit those concept arts are pretty amazing and look almost nothing to what they are in game now, i understand now why people would be upset over it and fear it might happen to Viera as well, thanks for the info.

I m still crying. Please make it stop.

On topic: Lets hope they dont f***ed up with Viera. I think this race is a nice addition to the game.

No prob, the fun thing is with concepts is a lot of ideas tend to get used in other places while others have to be toned down, looking at the in game models you can see what was chosen from where, with viera i feel like they have learnt this time and thats why any current concepts besides the old ones from years ago haven't been shown.

Aren't Foel Vieria just pale skinned?

Aren't Foel Vieria just pale skinned?

a bit more differences then that, if we say frans tribe is the main viera the Veena Viera, then there are two other main types

Rava Viera and Feol Viera (Veena have white hair but darker tones and Rava have black hair and lighter tones but both are darker in fur/skin tone to the feol)

the Feol Viera are a mix race between the Viera and the Aegyl (basically a angel like winged race.) in Final Fantasy 12 Revenant wings. due to the mix raced nature the Feol are much smaller then there Veena counter parts, have much softer features i.e a rounder face more pale skin/fur, more curved shorter ears, compared to the Veenas more sharper features. Feol tend to be blonde as well.

think of the Veena and Rava as Wild Jackrabbits while the feol are more house bunny

and i think those differences will be the main sub races, if they focus on the ff12 designs,

if they use tactics the Feol are still a chance but the veena would most likely be replaced with just the 'Viera' from tactics, for a visual comparison:

a fun thing to note i learnt while grabbing this is all viera are covered in short fur.
