Player Poll, The Viera Movement.

[Naelle]

So tired of having to look at piles, literally piles, of Mi'qote that I think I would end myself if they add Viera. I'm all for a goblin/qiqirin or something like that. We don't need another set of ridiculous emotes being spammed in every zone. Nu Mou would be awesome, Yuke would be better. Just for the love of god don't put Viera in.

If you want to leave Ivalice races in Ivalice, then they should leave Vana'diel races in Vana'diel too.

I'd agree if it weren't for two things:

1. They aren't the same races, just heavily inspired by them. (Though I'm sure bunny girls will be different too should they be added anyway. But that brings me to my next point.)

2. FFXIV is the spiritual sequel to FFXI. The fact that they use similar races is totally understandable. It reflects on our expectations brought on by the other Final Fantasy MMO. Taking a race from a different game is not the same, they don't have the same connotations that FFXI set for us as a Final Fantasy MMO.

I voted for mammalian race. I think, in particular, Gnoles would make an awesome playable race. If it was multiple choice I would have said mixed or lizard. Draconian and mixed races would be cool.

I'm also against viera. We already have a slutty female race, we don't need another one.

This would be cool though. Give me male Gria too, and we have a deal. Could make it be some weird Ishgardian experiment, human/dragon hybrid.

[Skeezix]

Couldn't charm a Gnole in ffxi so I might as well vote to be one

[Rousseau]

I think people are assuming quite a bit in that the poll was asking about playable races. I don't recall it specifying that. I was under the impression that it was a question regarding beastmen and NPCs.

I would like to take the time to put out my view on this. Although I must admit I voted for viera I myself would like some authenticity to the FF MMO style, what do I mean by this? Viera were a race exclusive to 12 and was authentic to that game so how about this for an idea. Most that played 11 see similarities in 14 with races but as for new ones how about a goblin? There both hostile and friendly (mostly hostile) but there are some that abandon the goblin way of life to want to live in harmony with the people of eoazea and vanadiel! Secondly the "rat men" first appearerd only when treasures of aht urghan went live and once again some friendly and hostile, what about them as a possibility? A story could easily be implemented with some ingenuity and time. Thirdly the existing races are the same as 11 soooo... What about a possibility of quadav yags or orcs? Then SE could make a storyline fun for old 11 players by learning what happened and how life is in vanadiel, I for one would be very intrigued by this. But through it all I would love to in time see a possibility of going to vanadiel with the updated graphics, imagine a non load zoning between say pashow marshlands to rolanberry fields with a gradual scenery change or even crawlers nest being a new raid, the possibiltys are endless

[mcfcfan]

Sorry I know that was real long lol

[mcfcfan]

The goblin and rat men I mean by player able options I know there currently already in 14

Forget the Viera. My favorite nonhuman races ranked in order of preference:

Yukes (FFCC series)
Bangaa (any Ivalice Alliance game)
Seeq

I also really liked those half-fish-like guys from The Last Remnant.
