I mean, we already have Dragon girls

*Lizard

Its told in some quests that Au Ra are not related to Dragons.

the 24 man story is based primarily on Tactics, including Ramza and Alma being characters from the game. The Zodiac Brave Story and Durai Papers as mentioned in the recent story are from FFT, not FFXII. The bosses are from both, the locations are from both, such as Rabanastre is XII but Lesalia beneath is FFT. Ridorana is XII, Clockwork City of Goug beneath is FFT. The auracite is actually based on Tactics as well, though FFXII has Nethicite, which is somewhat similar. Most of the story is from Tactics, with the locations and politics of the region being from XII, as in FFXIV the events of FFXII were ~30 years ago.

Ah yes, I think I remember that in the first quest where you meet Sidurgu as a DRK. My fault.

I also want to be able to play as a Genome.

Just take the ears off a Miqo'te. Exact same thing.

Isn't it actually *Demon? Weren't Au Ra based on demonic designs?

Also.. I still want Viera :3

All the (human sized) males in this game are quite masculine, so I'd be totally in for a cute option for the Viera. Ideally we'd have both the taller/elegant one and the short and cute one. But the cute one is important as that's what we're missing right now.

People want Viera from that bad Tactics game that we don't talk about. What strategy game punishes you for using Cure or some other nonsense? SE has been doing a good job pretending that game doesn't exist, cuz it don't.. (Can't believe that game ever got a sequel...)

People want Viera because Fran. Viera showed up in 12, and people have loved them ever since. Make no mistake, I am inclined to agree about the Tactics Advance games, or at least the first one. I resigned not to play it as soon as I heard about the judge nonsense in that game. But I think if anyone at all wants Viera because of Tactics, then its not many. Fran, and the others in Eruyt and/or Rabanastre, are likely why most people want them: Tall, beastly (and yes, sexy) bunny ladies (and dudes, presumably, if the 14 concept art is to be believed) with a penchant for badassery. They might be waifus to some, but they are also capable and able combatants, and interesting over all. At least, that's how it seems to me. I'd take them even if they were de-waifu'd a bit. I just think they're an interesting choice, next to generic fantasy races like elves, gnomes, and giants, which we already have in elezen, lalas, and roes. At least bunny people wouldn't really be copying a common RPG trope race.

Also, and some may have said this, the new trial in 4.3 has bunny ears. I understand the real world lore as to why, but I am going to choose to believe that just means Viera confirmed even though it probably doesn't, hehheh. ^_^

Viera, and by extension Fran, only exist because FFTA though. FFTA came out a whole 3 years before FFXII and without it I doubt they'd have used the Ivalice setting in XII, at least not in the way they did.
(Not trying to be mean here, just a bit of perspective on the whole FFTA/FFXII issue ^^)

[MOZZYSTAR]

Awesome stuff here

I stand corrected.~ With the title drop & certain events, I figured it was the FFXII Zodiac Braves. Kinda makes me want to try FFT. :>
