Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

This race sounds like a furries dream.

Not really. Lupin/Beastmen would be, though.

Have you not seen 3/4 of the Au'ra and Hyur faces?

This race sounds like a furries dream. There’s already cat people, may as well have rabbit people, I guess.

Personally, I’d rather see a dwarf-like race. Lalafel is not it.

I'd say that Lalafell are analogus to Gnomes, but I do agree. I would like for there to be Dwarves (because eff you, proper English, Tolkien was right & it should be spelled d-w-a-r-v-e-s). I'm fine with the addition of the Viera, too

I totally support this. FFXII was my all-time favorite game in the series, and I absolutely loved Fran. The concept art for male Viera is awesome!! I love being a Roe, but if Viera were to come, I'd seriously consider using a fantasia.

[Beelhi]

From the concept art, males seem to look like taller miqos and females like a less clunky elezen. If they based it on those bodies maybe they wouldnt have to adjust the armor too much? not more than they had with Aura anyways ^^ Personally i love Elezen but can't stand how stiff and clunky they are when they move and emote so i would love something similar to it but more refined

177 pages and still no Viera race o.O?

[Valentine-R]

177 pages and still no Viera race o.O?

Maybe they want 180 pages. Just gotta keep pushing and maybe it'll happen. It happened for the housemaid/butler attire and lightning stuff, so if there's an even bigger push:
Boom, Viera.

Viera are beautiful. +1, I'm all in. I love the concept art, and I love Fran and her sister in XII. I would love to play in XIV as one!

Their whole attitude of movement, of walking, of carrying themselves. I know it's little things, but they still resonate. And I think there's room for updating/expanding their story into the current world, despite their isolationism.

Of course, we'd need more than footwear addressed. We'd need their own flavor of gauzy armor and weapon art. We'd need Viera-cultured housing items. We'd need Viera-inspired mounts, pets, retainers, music, glowy effect glams, dances (!).... etc. But I admit, I'm not afraid of any of that. Not even the footwear. I know that SE would do an awesome job with all of it.

Adventurer (and Warrior of Light) Viera would fit naturally in the XIV world, especially given recent events regarding Ivalice, the Empire, etc.
I know, other races too, but we're talking about Viera here.
So yeah, count me in.

Aye, you really get it. It's about more than just form, it has to do with the emotes, style, lore, and interactions that can be explored and enjoyed. We need more quest and events for all the races, including but not limited to racial gear quest, emotes, lore, hairstyles, ect... all of which can be earned by other races, there by allowing for all to have access to content but tieing it to the races to expand the world knowledge about the difference in their views and culture.

I would love to see more of the Hellsguard and their culture of sell swords as well as their sacred mountain home where they train in both martial and mystical in their duty watching over the gates of the underworld.

I personally believe the team could write them in as being sheltered by the twelves wood much as they were in Eruyt village in Golmore Jungle. As the elder primal Bahamut's destruction laid waste to vast areas of the shroud, it could be explained that the illusion magicks were dispelled and as such their home was revealed and therefore the previously accessible west shroud is still off limits to all but the Seedseers that have kept them a secret until now. With the wood no longer able to shield them, they must now journey into the world and rejoin it to not only learn of the lands and people they have been closed off to, but also to better protect their homeland by learning new powerful skills, abilities, and jobs not Known to them. Basically a mix of FFVI Esper village, FFXII Eruyt village, and a little of the Dragonlance series of books event Lorac's Nightmare:At the beginning of the War of the Lance, the Dragonarmies attacked the Elven land of Silvanesti. King Lorac Caladon of the Silvanesti tried to use a powerful Artifact known as a Dragon Orb. He became enthralled by the orb, caught in a nightmare whispered to him by the Green Dragon Cyan Bloodbane that twisted and deformed his homeland. Think the Emerald Dream later used by Blizzard in WoW.

Alacran, I think it would be better for Viera to not be native to Eorzea, but a land that we've never visited before. Like the 'far west' (aka The New World) or something. Due to how long it has been since Bahamut razed the land (5 years + however much time has passed in the story from the beginning of ARR to currently in SB), I feel we should have seen Viera (NPC's) in Eorzea by now.
