weak excuses about adding viera

[Ririta]

right now for the women we lack the sensual, sexy and mature type.

Hmmm. Just realised OP's posts are making them sound like (an infamous) someone I know of back on GameFAQ's FFXIV threads... probably just a coincidence.

But Viera don't have tails though.

No, they have a furrypom on their butt instead.

There are some

Only in the Au Ra concept art. No viera in the other games have tails.

I'd rather they added another unique race than something else recycled from 12.

the general reason was was it was too similar to miqo'te to add in the game ....

lets take a step back and look at that . is it a real reason?

Not particularly. But then, I'm willing to bet there are thousands of entitled, not-particularly-wise people out there who would blow a fuse if SE didn't at least try to make some sort of excuse.

The real reason we shouldn't (not necessarily won't; but shouldn't) see Viera is it is an utter waste of development resources. It adds absolutely nothing to FFXIV's content, nothing to FFXIV's storyline. The ONLY benefit would be one more pair of options for an amazingly large contingent of players who seem to want nothing more from an MMO than a dress-up simulator (not that FFXIV is lacking for options in this department).

Personally I wish SE would just come out with a flat "No."

right now for the women we lack the sensual, sexy and mature type. and for the man it was possible to make something more smaller they have tons of way to do it... the fact to have rabbit ear don't make it similar of the miqote because the aura instead to have beast ear have horn...

You sure about that?

I remember reading an interview where Yoshi-P said that they didn't want to add viera because they were to similar to Female Roegadyn and Elezen which are very unpopular with players.

It was also stated that this is the reason why Au Ra was created smaller and less beastlike due to the unpopularity of tall races.

This reasoning is very similar to F2P MMOS like Tera where they make special jobs/gear only for popular Races(Elin), its because they want to market for the majority of whats popular rather than the minority, for the fear no one would use them.

Naw, he said Viera were too similar to Miqo'te.
