Gender locked race?

I guess it's a win then, we also get bent ears. What else ?

Bent ears and two variations of viera. I think it's two sub-groups of viera. Tall viera, and short viera which apparently look like young elezen.
It is possible this shorter variant will be shown in the next fanfest. This is fantastic news!
There's a possibility male viera could be shown alongside the shorter variant of viera.

I think he accurately predicted all four fights of the final Omega raid tier, and BLU, and Viera, soo....

False, unfortunately. He predicted Blue Mage as Melee DPS and mistook Omega M and F for "Adam and Eve", which might come in the next alliance raids but that's yet to be seen at all. He got some things correct, but his word is not absolute. A lion in his avi could mean literally anything from Moombas to Ronso to playable Chimeras for all we know.

If Ronso are a thing, gimme some links coz so far i've seen nothing about them being added to the game..

A leaker who got other things right said Viera won't be the only new race. The leaker later changed his avatar to being of a rabbit and a lion. The Ronso was actually never mention by the leaker.

Btw I love the four hairstyles they've shown so far.

With the Ronso I feel like we only need the Qu to be playable so I can have Quina as a proper BLU lol

To be fair... It's very... VERY easy to see Omega M and F in production and think Adam and Eve. He also predicted Tsukuyomi, the return of Gaius, playable Alphinaud and the Monster Hunter collaboration (which people called him a troll for because it just sounded so fake). BLU was the only real thing he didn't get every detail of correctly, and even then in the end... he was still right. We got BLU as a pre-patch job.

Wasn't it said in the American lore panel or something (interview?) that they were planning on calling Omega M/F Adam and Eve, but then decided not to due to religious reasons?

Though when asked if it would be Ronso, they said "close."

[Kupocoubo]

Aye it could, but I do remember them saying the NA fanfest they wanted to mix up how they announce things this time around. So I'd stay optimistic if you can. Most likely will show the other clan off too in Tokyo.

This bring me hope, really ! Now Im really hype abour the Tokyo fan fest, Dancer + male Viera omg

[Kupocoubo]

I'm unsure? Most of the search info showed this. There was like one screenshot with him in a slightly thicker looking top:



but when I search screenshots I get stuff like this:



and then from Dissidia:




I think he night have multiple outfit options???

He has costumes based on different jobs, but the original costume was REALLY skimpy, it's still on tthe logo, we see his butt lol

There was apparently an interview with Koji where he said they were originally called Adam and Eve, but changed because it might offend people.

It's possible a lion-esque race could be added - but whether it's a playable race or just a beastmen race is uncertain.
In any case, I would totally be cool with another race, as long as it's not gender locked.
