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

[NorthernLadMSP]

They better not tie the floppy ears to only one face like how they tied Au Ra horns to a face.

[Iscah]

if ear size is changeable along with being able to pick specific different ear types seperate from the head. *looking at you Au'ri*

Au Ra got the choice of tail shape instead. There's a limited number of "choices per character design" and that's what their choice got allocated to.

I have to wonder if locking the horn shape was deliberate to ensure that there'd be some variety instead of 90% of players gravitating to the one design. Though I suppose that happens with the faces themselves anyway.

(Though having different horn shapes seems odd in the first place, thinking in "real" terms. I can't think of any horned animals that would have so much shape variety within a species.)


I have an Au Ra alt, and as much as a choice of horns would be nice, I only like one of the four tail designs so I also appreciate being able to choose that. The horns aren't what I'd really like to use, but choosing the right face was more important, and I got used to how the horns look.

Yep I like that they went with somewhat of a combination of styles. I think they already mentioned different ear styles but I don't know if it will be hair attached or not. Another thing to wait and see about is their earring adornment because some of the old viera art shows multiple earrings. Hopefully that will be an option too.

It's possible that they'd have additional earrings as one of the "extra features" options you can turn on and off. Some character designs have this option already.

Deffo race-changing, though I'll likely get bored and go back to potato after a bit. Tbh potatoes have the best facial expressions and emotes; nothing compares.

You do gotta look the best to be put in the stew pot after all :P

I'll only change to be a bunnyboi so i'm hoping for Tokyo

Well, if they add viera and the feol viera that would be a dream come true, and option to have a bigger character or a smaller one. Because I see most of our opinions are mixed, some want a fierce one as originals from 12 and some want a more cute option that is canon to feols. For me as long as the character is 160cm (Not too short and not too tall, I am happy, all my main characters hit that height but max I could go on my au ra was like 158cm AAAA) then I will be defo switching. The trailer was very simple and only shown the normal viera and only females. But I believe it only happen due to other models not being ready. But I surely like how they are already looking. So I am hoping for more during Japan fest. : )

I'm really not sure. I use alts if the is a race I want. I main a Mi'qote, Highlande, and Lala (all F). I don't fantasia, but the "Young Elezen" version (smol bunbun) with bent ears is really tempting to fantasia my main into, that I haven't changed since 2.0.

I might make a new smol bunbun, do the entire MSQ and make that my new main... just so I can see more of cute fluff in cutscenes.

[Makeda]

I've got 4 characters with jobs at 70. Human melee DPS, Catgirl tank, Lizadgirl magical ranged, and Elf physical ranged...

One of them is going to change. And I think it all depends on how good a bunnygirl looks in a Hempen Camise... That's basically why my Hyur exists... :P

[MorbolvampireQueen6]

What 2 tribes are they getting anyways?

It feels like most male and female characters use face 1 because it's the easiest to work with combo. Of the males the imbalance is especially noticeable - very few people play the "old" face despite it having such nice horns.

personally, I would have rather had swappable horns than the limbal rings.


As for Viera: In a perfect world I would have liked to be able to change Viera ear style and length, but al those ears looked to be about the sameish size so Im curious what the other customization features are. I will likely roll an create a new character as my Mateus page is missing a taller lady option. If males are a thing (and handsome) I'll likely fanta one of my caught-up alt mains.

[Hazama999]

It really depends on how the male viera look. I've been a cute lalafell for so long, so it might be hard to leave that behind.
