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

[Maero]

Regardless if it IS actually implemented as a new race i am also on the Miqo'te for life train.

[SannaR]

I think he wants blue mages to only be certain races and for pvp to be casters vs healers or something. While also writing those last two like in like a slam poetry style? /shrugs

[Melichoir]

I am really hoping for this because I am in the minority that wants another small race and hope they do both the Viera and Feol so that way everyone is happy.

Not the only one, I want a tall and short variation, and Id rather have one clan be teh tall amazon type that the majority wants, but the other clan be short (maybe a little taller than lalas, but definiteily shorter than all other races).

What I hope we DONT see is AuRa again. Both clans being identical short of a palette swap on the scales.

What exactly are you trying to say here? I don't think I understood anything.

I think the real lesson to take from this is "Don't drink and forum post."

[Akonyl]

Tempting as it is, I'm too attached to my current char to change race like that. Gotta hold down the femroe fort.

Blue Mage let's not just be Elves, let's be also Miqote's. Let our Friends and Rivals Red Mages/Chaos Magicians be Humans and Viera. And the battle rages on in PvP. I need to know more about PvP, but there should be just Mages and Healers fighting each other on that. Everyone else, the descendants of the greats like Tanks and other DPS advocate for your own on this Forum about PvP for Shadowbringer.

This game is my life.

I'm not sure why anyone would expect anything other than just a palate swap for clans. This is the case for every current race.

I think I've interpreted what he was saying. Essentially he wants certain classes racially locked, and each class to be put against each other in PvP similar to a faction system? Actually, I bet I am completely wrong.

I don't think you or I are wrong as that was what little I could gather too and those two have to be the strangest posts from that poster.

You say that like ARR's races all had unique-model clans, but then they went the cheap route for adding Au Ra later.

It would certainly be nice for them to put the effort into a Hyur-style "two races for the price of one" implementation, but there's no real precedent for it.
