Viera For The Win~ 27.3%

People view them as a cute race, and I do not.

They are spiritual wood living creatures. They have ways opposite of the races we have now. Their lore is quite interesting and seeing them in Eorzea is no problem for me. PLUS I would LOVE to see male counterparts much like the male Miqote.

I do think they could tie viera lore into Eorzea very well, of course they would have to hail from the black shroud, perhaps natural enemies of Gridania, and the 2.0 Gridania storyline could be based on these two enemies.

I still don't understand why people are saying we're getting Viera... nowhere anywhere does it say we're getting Viera. The poll option was not for Viera. I think a lot of people hoping for more fuzzy critters are going to be in a world for disappointment whenever they get around to adding new races. For all we know, "mammalian demi-beastman" is going to end up being a race of fat hedgehog people. IF they even decide to go with mammalian demi-beastmen as their pick for the eventual new race.

Yeah, this community is terrible!

Why isn't anyone asking for manly races? You know, for manly gamers like me.

P.S. I hope we get hedgehog people. Give Lalafell a run for their money.

To anyone who thought this was a binding poll that indicated exactly what they were going to implement in the game, you're bound to be sadly mistaken.

Besides, the poll choice is actually nothing to do with Viera, it is just one of the examples given.

Don't kid yourself. Every guy worth his testosterone sees bunny ears on a hot chick and goes "OMG I WANT."

Which proves you can add almost anything to a sexy female and it will get the most votes in any race popularity contest.

It's people like this that will prevent us from ever getting a unique, well-designed race. It's always sex appeal for the win!

The FFXIV forum community seriously has like zero imagination. Instead of asking for a new or different race... they ask for another slutty animal race from previous games.

Coming from the Miqote when that is the most popular (slutty) race...... OK run along now kids, nothing to see here.

Imagination has NOTHING to do with it. It's a personal preference. We've never been able to play a Viera in ANY Final Fantasy MMO's and with that question they asked and the example they gave, a lot of people got their hopes up. Don't hate on the community for picking what they like. We're getting called "morons" now. Great. I love the minority

Here's another one, asking for a manly race when he picked Lalafell hahaha

I think Yoshi P corrupted the results by making the Viera name drop. People don't want any cute mammal race. Most of them are erroneously thinking that they voted to get Viera into the game, and instead of voting for something they might have otherwise found interesting, they're probably going to get something they aren't even interested in.

Just so you know...27 and some odd percent isn't a majority.

The thing is Viera can fit into the game very well, yes I have made a few jokes about their sluttyness, but they don't have to make them like that, I feel they will fit into the black shroud very well paticurlaly as beastmen, and it could show some really good lore, because the Viera in Ivalice are said to beable to hear the forest, what is the Black shroud trying to say?

Also what if Viera are enemies of Gridania and think the city states want to destroy the forest it could end up with a really good story.
