    I really dislike this thinking. D:

    My comment above was purely tongue-in-cheek to try and point out the ridiculousness of the sentiment.

    For better or worse, this game features only humanoid-based characters. Every single race is simply a variation on your basic Hyur model. With that said, I feel the races are distinct enough as there is plenty to set them apart. The different emotes alone are always fun for me when I fantasia.

    No, Au Ra are not simply Hyurs that are using MGP horns. The horns look nothing alike. Just as I'm sure if Lupin ever came to be, they'd put more thought into it than simply slapping on the werewolf ears/costume currently in game. Just like I highly doubt Viera ears would look/function exactly like those stiff-ears we can get from the Saucer.

    Thank you for what? Giving me a link to Twitter? If that was your attempt at sarcasm it was kinda lame.

    Hey, I had no problem playing as any of the vanilla races. As it is, wearing the Succubus Horns is mostly close to original concept anyways so yeah, you're correct in that regard.

    Sure why not. (Oh, are those horns on the side of your helm?)

    Veira won't look like the Veira people want. And if we get a cutesy one I'll personally make one just to irritate the people that want tough ones.
    Plus 1 for this response.

    All I got out of it was that you somewhat agreed to a certain aspect, which in turn kinda made your earlier response more sarcastic than ironic.

    Not necessarily. They just used a different concept art from the feral ones we see shared constantly.

    They likely experimented with different types (viera, draconic race, whatever else) and then decided on draconic/succubi (literally just going off the text on the concepts, before someone points out they aren't dragons) and made a bunch of different ideas based on that. There is concept art of the cutesy Au Ra we got; we do not know if it came after the more feral designs, before, or at the same time.

    Plus, there isn't that much that can change about viera. You can give them thicker/furrier/differently-tilted ears, maybe some fur on their skin, but there aren't really any wildly different directions to go like there was with the Au Ra horns and scales.

    They're also a preexisting race, so their options are to stay true to it (take Elezen, make them slender and curvy, slap on some bunny ears/tail and heeled feet, incorporate some bunny-like facial features, done) or stray from the concept and possibly leave players disappointed.

    This. I don't understand that logic at all, and probably never will. They have totally different bodies, emotes, faces, etc. It would probably still come up even if they went with the super cool design - "they're just a human with some huge horns slapped on and scary faces!"

    It's not like they can go all out and make a totally non-humanoid race without severely hampering gear design time. Something like the Lupin could just be modified from the Roe models, but their heads would require a full remodel of each helmet...or just have helmets permanently hidden on them. And then you could make the argument that Lupin are just buff humans with a wolf head...it'll never end.

    That argument's been tossed on Viera fans from the beginning, too. "Just roll Elezen and wear the bunny ears! Boom, Viera!"
