Viera Should Of Happened

[VanilleFang]

snip.

Well, kind of. Not entirely though.

For example, FFXIII and FF Type-0 are both part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis project which means they are based around a common mythos. The worlds may change but things like l'Cie are kept within only that mythos.

And, actually, the Ivalice Alliance (which many games that take place in Ivalice are part of) games all take place within the same world of Ivalice. Viera have only ever been in Ivalice, regardless of how many games they have been in. And Ivalice in each game is the same world. They could introduce a "Viera-like race", but it wouldn't be Viera. It would be something completely different.

If we want to get technical, not all the games that take place in Ivalice were/are part of the Ivalice Alliance, but they still take place in Ivalice and share common elements with the other Ivalice based games.

I'm not sure if this had been mentioned yet, but Viera are strictly an Ivalice-only race. Last I checked Erozea is not Ivalice.

Last time I checked Elvaan, Mithra, Tarutaru, and Galka were from Vana'diel but they seemed to creep into a second game just fine. >w>

Are you saying Elezen, Miqo'te, Lala, and Roe are the same thing? Because... they are similar, yes, but they are not the same thing. Everyone is asking for Viera, but we would not get Viera. We would get something similar to how FFXIV has similar races to FFIX but they are entirely different.

Lalas and Tarus are completely different, for example, yet you claim they are the same?

Which?

Last I checked all those races are FFXI only.

And being Viera-like is not the same as being Viera.

Putting Cait Sith ears on a hyur doesn't make a Miqo'te, and putting Ultima horns on a hyur doesn't make an Au'ra.

true.

and when they add a Viera race they have to rework ALL the headgears to add holes for the ears. and how should a viera be able to wear the cait sith ears? or the bunny ears? adding Viera is a lot of work in regards of making hundreds of gear pieces we already have to fit them.

so i can see why we didn't get Viera.

Shh shh bunny ears and tail are coming for males soon. No need to make a new race for that.

Still wouldn't be Viera.

Look at the Aura concept. Now look at what they put in game.
Do you think the viera would even look like a viera?
Nope~ it'd be a cute faced hyur with ears and tail slapped on.
You can just get that at the gold saucer and not waste dev time.

[Blackcanary]

Its so true. People who want this will never get it like the race from FF12 because it means SE will have to redesign the gear for that one race. in there mind that is a waste of time. Why do you think we don't have the ability to make are muscles bigger or are bums bigger its a waste of time.

Still wouldn't be Viera.

And it never will be? IF a playable rabbit race is added to XIV (and that is a BIIIIIG if), it will look nothing like Ivalice's Viera.

Those claws and rabbit feet? Gone. Those are human fingers and feet now. The tail? Most likely gone due to clipping issues (especially for robe-like gear). The race would literally just be a humanoid with rabbit ears, which will either clip through head gear, or be subjected to the ear-socks of shame.
