Please just give us Viera!

[YatoShishi]

I dont know about you guys, but I realy realy reeeeealy want the Viera race ingame! I was so dissapointed when we didnt get the Viera with 3.0
I love the Au Ras (Im one myself) but still it would have been awesome.

I did read that it became to Close to a Lala and thats why they stoped, but how about just make em original ? Tall and Slim.



Please Yoshi, give us Viera! ♥ (and rdm)

No.

SE have made it clear they're not going to introduce the viera to the game - they're too much like the miqo'te in that they're just 'humans with animals parts attached', and thus Yoshi does not want the game to become inundated with races that are just copy and pastes off each other. Besides, viera are part of the Ivalice games, which FFXIV is not a part of.

Really, I'd rather them not introduce any more new races but increase the character creation options for the races we already have, and ignore the fanboys.

I'm really sorry if my post has sounded harsh, but SE have made their choice and are sticking by it. And it's a decision I agree with.

Every race fits into the "human with animal parts attached"

Horns and a tail
Extra muscles and size
Being tall
Being small
Different ears and a tail

Until they go non-humanoid, completely animal. That is all they can create.

If demand increases and game popularity reduces. I think Viera will make a return as a Trump Card to boost game popularity up the rank, otherwise it won't. Maybe we'll find Viera to be residents of lost western Black shrouds. xD

I agree that we could use more options to the current character creation, more features to be adjusted.

As for Humanoids, SE is a Perfect-Beauty obsessed. So don't expect to get a Beast looking race to be playable at all.

Roes and lalafell are less human-like, because in this context, humanoid refers to hyur, and the size and shape of the race matters greatly. Imagine if you will that we did get a race that had bunny ears and a tail, but it used the lalafell skeleton, it would be rather unique to what we have on offer right now.

XIV has a hard on for recycling left right and center, seeing pulsework knights is fine they come from another game established in that game's universe but I think Viera should stay in Ivalice, since XIV is its own thing, maybe we can have bunny eared playable characters with some differences to viera, all the races in this game with the exception of Au Ra are heavily based off XI's races with some adjustments, would you like to settle for that? Maybe we'll get them in the superior ivalice based MMO
never ever :c

Hello,

Perhaps, are those viable as a 4.0 new races?

[Ashewalker]

I don't think they will add more dragon like races. Though Viera would be a very much accepted race in FF XIV.

Think of it like this, They made Miqo'tes why? Because all they had to do was add cat ears and tail to a human like and it was done. Why did they add Au Ra to the game? Because its the same thing, only they added scales to the skin, dragon tail and horns to a human like and done, both races not that well known.

Why they didn't went for Viera, one race that has appeared before in Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII? Because the shape of the bodies and feet of Viera are much diferent, and they would have to change textures and shape of some foot gear to fit them. Though would be a good improvement for other classes to be added.
