Viera race

[Nestama]

No Roegadyn? 366!? Oh... that's just the Roegadyn thread. For a moment there, I thought you were talking about the census (which only records up to who has finished the 3.3 story)~

I still stand by my opinion that Viera should never be in this game. When compared to other races in this game, they're not very interesting and do not add any variety of race options (and females will naturally be popular. Because SE will most likely give them the option of being cute, petite and/or waifish).

No Roegadyn?

No one cares about Roegadyn, we are pretty unpopular

At least the chances of running into our twin/clone is extremely low~

An honest mistake I assure you.

Why does everyone want new races? What's wrong with the six we have???

Aside from Lalafell and Roegadyn and female Elezen, most of them look way to similiar to each other.

1. Male Au Ra and Elezen look alike.
2. Female Hyur, Au Ra and Miqote are almost clones of each other.

I can understand why people (especially those that play female avatar) want to have different race that does not look like the current ones. The Viera only shares one thing with female Elezen, they are tall. Personaly, I want a full beastman type of race like the Charr from Guild Wars 2.

Yoshida did not want to add the Viera, because its a race with animal ears, yet for some bizarre reason he thought adding a clone of a female Hyur or Miqote with horns and scales is very different...

Just the females have the possibility of looking like a clone of Miqo'te and Hyurs. The males are somewhat sort of unique (dem birthing hips). In that old poll back in 2012 where "Viera" were the most wanted, Yoshi-P noted that "cute" is apparently very popular and would look into it. Cute petite waifish monster girl is the end result and I can only imagine/fear this will be the norm for any future playable race (while the non-playable races will be more interesting).

^^^^about races looking alike
literally elezan=stretched out hyur, roe=bulky hyur, lalafell=tiny hyur, BOTH miqo & au ra=hyur with animal traits (furry/scaly bits)

tbqh if they add viera w the weird feet they'd be the most unique models & would add something that doesn't exist in -any- of the models. feet that aren't human. lol.
so...how they'd be too much like hyur..well.......everything is like a hyur, w modifications. so. that argument is silly.

Well...I could name a few things.

Such as that Roegadyn are being muscular Hyurs with bad skin condition, Hyurs being Hyurs, Highlanders being muscular Hyurs, Miqo'te and Au Ra being cosplaying Hyurs and Lalafell being Hyur babbies with odd ears (visually).

I'd consider a unique race a more than welcome addition. I just realize that's unlikely to happen and we're more likely to just get 25 more flavors of "cute" in the character editor >_>
