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

[Rokke]

Theres enough cute little options, bring out Big Bunnies with the dudes being slightly shorter when both m/f are maxed out.

[Frogger2]

Only if the cuteboys are C U T E.

All I'm going to say is "It depends."

[Kallera]

I might try it out, I like the Feol viera over the lanky rougher looking ones. So long as they aren’t lalafellin in stature.

I’ve been the tall race for years, so the petite feol is more of a shake up to me.

I'm probably a minority in that I might consider switching if they add the shorter Viera. With Wildstar dying this month, my fat bunny girl from that game is gone forever.

Yeah. I'm with you on that one. Though my main in WS was a Draken, I always liked the CatBunny people...

The Au'Ra have the best body shape in FFXIV, and the best animations are scattered between the Cats and the Au'Ra. Whether or not I switch a character over to a Viera will heavily depend on the body shape and the animations. I will most likely switch my Hyur - as I've never cared for her animations (I have 4 characters in this game, as I like having choices in races with each login). But it will depend on what the Viera ends up like.

Viera is all but confirmed
but same dude said Ronso was a thing aswell
how would people feel if Viera was female only and Ronso were male only?

I would dislike that.

[Nestama]

I feel people would really hate that and honestly, I'm sick of seeing games take the 'females human with animal parts' and males 'beast.' It's so dumb and weird (definitely would be worse than the Au Ra dimorphism).

I'm still gunning for the new race being an Aetheric Mutant race. Originally Miqo'te, but due to being mutated by the Aether in some shape or form (as we've seen in Eureka), they no longer look like what they used to be. Viera would be those who weren't heavily mutated; only growing longer ears, shorter tails and whatever else Ivalice Viera look like. Those heavily mutated pretty much become Ronso.

That's what I'm going with. Yoshi-P did say some years ago that Viera looked similar to Miqo'te and we even have NPC's in the game stating Viera are a sub-race. Just a theory I'm really hoping for (since this is apparently the last playable race. Two things I want in this game are a playable bestial race and BLU. BLU isn't ever going to be in relevant raid content, so this is pretty much the one thing I'm hoping for in the expansion).

It would go against what they said they learned with 1.0.
I would be extremely disappointed with the development team if they made that mistake again.

Each race comes with two tribes. Here's to hoping that's how we'll get it with both tribes being available to all genders. Especially if it's really the last race they plan to introduce to the game, keeping it gender-unlocked is the absolute least they can do.
