same taller more slender Viera is what I would prefer.

Why not have both versions as separate clans?

Why not have both versions as separate clans?

I don't think we can ever expect that to happen ever again.

I'd like that compromise honestly. However given their history I'm not entirely sure we'll ever get it... ):

I could get behind the idea of a Fran like Viera , yes i could .

This would be ideal. Probably unlikely, but ideal.

totally down for viera

[Senn]

So like how some people already mentioned before, we could just have viera use anklets or something instead of full blown shoes.



However, I still would like viera to have proper foot gear too, so perhaps the dev team can give the anklet treatment to level 49 gear and below. The devs can focus on making the level 50+ gear that already exists fit viera.

This way the devs won't have to redesign EVERY single footwear for viera, just the shoes level 50 and over. (Maybe with the exception of a couple of level 1 shoes, like lady's clogs or moonfire sandals, often used for glamour.) Moving forward, they can design shoes to fit viera.

Because we have a lot of new gear that's coming out, it seems like the devs will have a lot of work on their hands. I'm sure they are aware that if more footwear is introduced into the game, the more they'll have to work to redesign all of it to fit viera's digitigrade feet as well.

It almost feels like a race against time at this point, which makes me wonder; could the devs be lowkey designing foot gear for digitigrade feet each time they release new armor? If adding viera to the game is still on the table, could they have a folder of foot gear meshes for viera set aside? It's a bit of a conspiracy, but it's an interesting thought.

The idea of Viera came from Fran , a tall race not a child like.

The idea of Viera came from Fran , a tall race not a child like.

They actually came from Tactics Advance which was released in 2003. Final Fantasy 12 was released in 2006. However both games share the same world as far as I remember.

Tactics Advance:


FF14's proposed 'child' variant:



Personally speaking I prefer the FF12 rendition, but I wouldn't be upset if they added both and made them like Midlanders and Highlanders.
