Promo Art

[Cerat]

EDIT:: As I'm getting a lot of this, I want to put this up here. This is NOT a "Viera confirmed" thread. This is merely for speculation and what conclusions can be made when making observations from the current content trailer, promo/concept art (past and present) and then comparing them to the new art and how one character in particular fits in with, or in this case DOES NOT fit in with the norm that is present in some slight variation throughout the rest of the art. This is pure SPECULATION, so don't treat it like a "It's a Miqo'te, get over it" answer thread, and please try to at least provide some reasoning with your answers to help fuel speculation for or against.

SO, I'm going to flat out start this with a possibility of "I may be reading too far into this" but after having shown it to multiple people and having come to the same conclusion without me saying anything that would hint at it, I feel that I should post this to see what other, random people, think.

In the new promo art, yeah yeah dagger I get it, but there was something else that... well... seemed to be flying under a lot of people's radars. I looked 20 pages back and couldn't find anything about this, so, here it is:




As you can see, this is a cropped image of the promo art for 2.2. Now, notice something odd about the Paladin that I focused the cropping around? Look at her ears, her legs and her waist.

1. Those ears are not like the Miqo'te that is also in the art, in fact, the base is quite a bit slimmer than any Miqo'te in the game.

2. Her legs are LONG. In fact, she's by far taller than any of the Miqo'te in the game just going by the proportions show to us in the art.

3. Where is her tail? If she was a Miqo'te we'd be seeing part of it at least as her waist is clearly visible, even with the water right behind her.

Now, I'm not saying "viera" but I'm saying that is definitely not Miqo'te. So, unless her hyur ears are VERY well hidden, something is fishy. It could be a headband, but when AT LEAST 5 of the 8 characters shown are not wearing any visible head equipment, an eared headband is very out of place.

Her overall build is far too different from Miqo'te, and even her face style varies from the normal Miqo'te in the art. We all know Square is known to reveal things in art beforehand, so while, again, I'm not saying this is "Viera confirmed" Yugiri and this art lean towards it.

Also, I realize people think that Yugiri is wearing a horned hood that was from Dhoma in the other games... well, that hood only had 1 horn, and as we could see from the 2.2 trailer, her hood has two. Also... there's the potential of them being ears and I say that because playing as a Miqo'te, some of the hats shove our ears uncomfortably down our head.

ANYWAYS, thought complete, feel free to voice your opinion/observations. That's what this is for anyways, speculation
