[POLL] Which new races would you like the most for FFXIV [2.0.]

[Nuinn]

You kinda said exactly what i am saying.

Majority voted for something they thought was Viera in the official poll so know we know that majority wants Viera .

Then it's safe to say the majority didn't vote for something they didn't have such a clear association with. . . . or, the majority voted for the only exemplary race on the poll(?)

Whatever the case, people indeed had a big reaction to the race name itself, that's true. The poll was clumsily executed/worded.

Whether they make it or not eventually, I just hope they redesign Viera's freakish feet with that cringeworthy toes >_>

I like how the feet look
Anyway I truly think a race that isn't human like wont do well in here.
Like Bangaa and dragon looking crap with scales and stuff.

Personally i would rather not have viera... they have sexy elf with bunny ears written all over them. Maybe if they made them more bestial bunny looking.....

I don't really care, I'll find them equally uninteresting as I do Miqo'te. Half the time, if I don't pay much attention, the Hyur females, Elezen females and Miqo'te all look the same to me until I go " Oh right, giraffe necks, ears, tails". . . . Especially when fully geared in non-revealing armor or robes. In that regard the Viera would be equally "meh" to me. The main thing that would differentiate them would be the long upwards pointing ears, and longer limbs possibly, but Elezen already have a claim on longer limbs so yeah, "meh". Or, as you said, they could take the Burmecian route when designing the Viera race and make them more beastly looking.

I'd go as far as to say that XIV desperately needs a more distinctive looking race as an addition than more human rehashes. Quite frankly I'd say a race like that would be moderately popular among the playerbase, which is good. Kinda don't want another fad-race all over again (i.e. replacing Miqo'te as a fixation with another "popular" race, be it Viera or whatever). So, I'd opt for different > popular, but that's just how I personally feel. Iono /shrug
