Viera as the next new race~ Show your support

Unfortunately I have to agree with all of this. If we can't get the real deal, I'd rather not have them in the game, vs getting a cheap knock off Viera.

A new race would be nice

I support Veira. I like their FFtactics advance implementation personally. I think they were tall in that. Would be nice to have another tall race though less bulky.

I think they should add Viera and add in a new class at the same time....like fencer since rapiers are already in the game. Mid of expansion jobs have been done before (NINJA *glares*) and I think it'd be nice addition since the models are already there. I just hope it wouldn't be overwhelming to add both at the same time. If it is I'd definitely settle for just Viera alone.

I'm pretty sure the devs/Yoshi-P said they will no longer release jobs in patches due to how much work they require.
Also, just because the FFXII models already exist, doesn't mean SE will just copy and paste them for the playable races. They'd have to make sure every piece of gear (hats and feet especially) will look natural on them, as well as apply the specific Job animations on the race and etc.

Just wanted to pop back in here and say that I still support (tall) Viera as the next new race.

a bunch of the jobs in tactics advance have them wearing normal shoes so the high heal thing is a non factor really. Just seems to be a preference for them socially, and given we have stuff like wolfliege that downright mutilates player feet and several shoes with some level of heal on them having that heal spike as the racial gear seems doable.

they're faces aren't really super beastial either so shouldn't be that hard to implement over a human model
and we already have mi'qote ears so half the work on viera hats would already be done

and the longer features don't seem like they should be a big deal either, it's a lot like elezen modeling really just a bit more extreme in places like their fingers

and fur is just a texture so having that should actually be even less work than the horrible skin disease au'ra have

It's really not a stretch, if you look at the official art of fran and took off the ears/tail she's basically just a tall, skinny, dark-skinned human. and we already have races with animal ears and tails so...

Throw some "rabbit" into my "popoto" stew? Sure, I'm fine with this.

[Odstarva]

I like it when players using the Au Ra are saying adding a new race is a bad idea.

It's funny.

I have to admit I was really disappointed that Stormblood didn't bring a new race to the game. I hope we will at least get one in 5.0.
