Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

They can also combine pants+boots stats for Viera(if equipped by one) like certain heavy armor. Same for glamour too, but that would require them to go through every single pants item and create a high heel foot option. /shrug Depends on what is easiest for them.

I can't see that happening, as it's adding race specific gear into loot pools (tables?). Imagine being in a raid and caster pant-shoes drops, but the Roegadyn Caster can't use it because it's only for Viera.
They also can't go back and fuse pants and shoes together just to make Viera work as I am pretty darn sure no one would appreciate not being able to choose their pants and shoes combo.

I find amusing that all the Viera Nays have stopped with the resounding "FORGET IT! ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN YOSHIP CLEARLY STATED THAT IS NOT SOMETHING IS GONNA HAPPEN MOVE ON!!!"

and look what we've got now from the man himself XD

he will never say absolutely no or yes. it will always be "eh...chotto..." until they are actually going to do it. my advice would be not to get your hopes up until you get an answer that doesn't come with qualifiers.

Considering that the Viera are pretty much bunny versions of the Miqo´te with weird feet, would it not be best to simply give the miqos a "third tribe" option to include them?

I've argued that as a compromise. This thread says no.

But the fact of the matter is that he wants us to continue with the hope of it being a possibility. There is more of an advocacy rather than a denial in most recent cases.

For those who are aware of my previous post and acknowledge the contents, this is a reminder that there will be a FULL INTERVIEW updated next week on the cited article.

I will hopefully be able to divulge more information to share with you all about the Viera topic, if there is (hopefully) anything more.

That's a great idea!! While we're at it why don't we go ahead and combine Au'ra under the Miqo'te flag too! They're just reptilian Miqo'te anyways right? -_-

I can compromise, my desire for Viera can range from many different takes on it. But that ^ is not compromise. That is being willfully ignorant so one can make a cute quip.

Really? I didn't read the quote as "its happening", I read it as "its not happening, but who knows in the future", Yoshi P won't outright say that its not happening because he doesn't want to upset the minority of players that desperately wants the race, but the quote in no way implied that it is happening.

Uhm, the differences between the Au´ra and the Miqos are way broader than the differences between miqos and vieras.
What you wrote makes absolutely no sense.

Vieras And Miqos are both just extremely common Kemonomimi races that you can find in pretty much every other Japanese RPG / Anime / Manga / Whathaveyou.

We are not talking about this extremly complex and unique race, we are talking humans with animal ears and tail.

I've gone into detail on how it could work as a third clan. They'd be taller than the other two clans, have longer ears and shorter/no tails and have their own animations (picture it). The difference would be like Midlanders and Highlanders... but with eyebrows.

That's exactly what Au'ra are as well you know. Dragon kemomnomimi races are pretty common in all those mediums you mentioned as well. Special ears/horns... special tail... scales/ markings... limbal rings/slit eyes...

They are exactly the same if you want to make wide generalizations. There is no difference between calling Viera and Miqo'te the same as calling Au'ra and Miqo'te the same.
