Promo Art

Oh, I know about that one. Not commenting on the dagger which is why I avoided posting in that one. Didn't want to derail that topic

I love speculation (even if it turns out wrong like the dagger one might)

I actually thought the same thing, then after more deliberation I came to the conclusion it's most likely a Miqo'te (Even if the ears seem a little farther back), it's a rather odd looking Miqo'te at that. (But with a new 2.2 hairstyle it seems)


The purple hooded figure had their ears much further down.

But if that isn't a Miqo'te then boy do they look similar...I was hoping for something completely different than what we had now.

Art is art for a reason. It's artistic and left open for interpretation.

I'm not saying it's a Viera (or perhaps whatever term SE decided to call it for XIV) until Viera are shown in the game so that we can then compare and be certain.

I'm not saying it is either, but comparing with what I can (past promo art, and overall characteristics of the design) I feel safe in assuming that it is not a Miqo'te, or a very oddly designed one.

Well, again, that's art as well. It may look similar in the promo but be vastly different in game. But again, I feel confident saying that it's not a Miqo'te, it just looks way too different when compared to the other designs of Miqo'te in promo art. The lack of any visible tail doesn't help either.
