New Character in the Ivalice Alliance Raid?

[Corue]

I mean, because there was no way they'd have the iconic Bangaa quartet from XII and not have the iconic Viera from the same game make an appearance as well?
Not sure why this surprises some people.

YoshiP: "Someone really close to Balthier (coughfrancough) is going to be in the cinematic for the new alliance raid thats going to probably confirm something (coughbunniescough).

A month later: HOLY CRAP GUYS LOOK ITS FRAN

I know those legs, they're clearly:



.... :3

99% sure it's Viera but I'd die laughing if it was Viangaa lol

I don't think I'd by a fantasia for one of those...

[Raikai]

But even if we get shot Viera as a clan... They were about Au Ra female short, no?

The only possible known candidate to match a Lala would be Ivalician Moogles from XII... which is basically out due to this trailer's leg reveal.

No, Fran and one of her sisters were as tall if not taller than Balthier was discounting their ears at least not the XII versions the tactics versions were the female au ra size. Now the wait to see what the guys will look like as we still don't know what one looks like.

I feel like viera's are getting the best starter set of the bunch. Curious how the males will look and how the race exclusive hair will be. On a side note really sad to see the Judge armor not obtainable in the last raid.

I have a feeling that Viera will not have organically heeled feet. I think in this case its just a shoe that does that.

Square Enix is going to have to have to model every single foot piece in a heel shape, and I know they do not want to do it. I have a feeling that Viera heels will look like normal feet outside of Viera exclusive racial gear, and heels already within the game. At the very least the toes might be slightly resemblant to the XII viera.

Do not expect them to adjust every single footwear to fit heels. If they have heels it would be their racial clothes and just that.

They may have been working on them to various lengths ever since their concept art was shown alongside the Au Ra... so give or take 4 years? Not to marginalize the amount of work it must take to model clothing of course, but given the amount of gear that is re-used/re-skinned, it might not be as daunting a job as one might think...?

Diglett race confirmed.

Pretty much this, theres only a handfull of shoes that display the feet, while others are boots and such which wouldnt require all that much to convert into high heeled versions, and are mostly reused assets.

I don't know, I don't report people on here but I think everyone on here is getting very offensive to a character who is new to this game. I'm new to the game too but I love this game, but the reason I oppose this character is because it seems sexist. But I know so many people have been requesting this particular character that SE finally gave in. I want to see what the male version of this character looks before I decide whether I will create an alt for it. So, far, she is the most beautiful of all characters but other than beautiful what makes her a warrior?

I don't feel at all the same about Miqote's, which is a shorter class by the way. They are, maybe, not as short as Lalafels, but with a little modification they can get sort of close. So, please for the sake of all men and women who play this character rightfully so find it appealing please be respectful. Because the comments are getting out of hand and offensive.
