If the new race were reptilian in nature, they would have a hard time explaining why you weren't being attacked any time you set foot in Ul'dah, or anywhere in Coerthas for that matter. Both Ul'dah and Ishgard are violently anti-lizard/dragon so making a reptilian playable race would be a hell of a stretch that would either require a whole lot of retconning or just completely ignoring/breaking the game lore.

They wouldn't have to retcon or break anything. They could include some tension into the story quests so that it makes sense, with the new race eventually proving themselves trustworthy. I know it sounds cliche but the point is that it would work.

haha yeah, just watch her end up being a miq'ote with long ears... and wearing tail armor... lol

probably not, the tail looks too "natural" and chitinous to be tail armor, and the ears are too low on the head to be a sun/moon kitty.

I'm playing through the 2.2 story now and noticed something in the cutscenes that seems interesting.

Yugiri has the same animations as Miqo'te, though this is likely because the dev's didn't want to create a unique set of emotes for one character plus she uses the same body model. Also, whenever she turns her head sharply her "horn/ear" hood thingies flop about. Which makes me think that they are indeed ears and not rigid like horns. I'm certainly curious what she must look like.

I can confirm this. During the cut scene near the Sahagin aetherite, the weather in the zone was windy. Everyone's hair and cloth clothing were fluttering in the wind, including her long ears/horns. Either that is some terrible oversight in horn physics, or it is indeed long ears.

Ul'dah has a problem with a particular race of lizards not all lizards. And Ishgard is probably going to end up liberated from its opressors and making peace with Dragons eventually

If she's not reptilian then I would hazard a guess that she may be of a rat race like Freya from IX.

[Zenaku]

I bet will be: Viera. :P

Look at the tail it's not a viera and i hope that race would never be added. Not because i don't want people to be happy but due to the fact it just dumb to add something that should stay in ff12

[WingsofWar]

I dunno about you guys but my observation leads me to believe its a Viera. Considering Yoshi and Devs are in love with the tactics series, and that many elements of the game are based off tactic lore, and we are hinted that Ivalice is a far away continent.

Yeah, I really think that it looks like a rat race to me. I thought that instantly when I looked at the image.
