Viera Race "Confirmed" for 5.0! Are you gonna change races?

[Navras]

Personaly, FFXII has been my favorite since it came out as I am a huge fan of Ivalice (Vagrant Story, FFT) so, to have the raids in FFXIV was already an emotional rollercoster and now i cant wait to create my Viera!
Even if its just for female characters, im ok with that, but i doubt they will do that.

How about you guys, any Ivalice / Viera fans here? Do you think its gonna be female only like many speculate?

It really depends on what they end up looking like. I love my Roe so it would have to be really good looking.

EDIT: By this I mean if they're short and cutesy then no I won't. If they look like tall warrior bunnies like Fran from FFXII then yes I'd try it out for at least a little bit.

I'm hoping they are smaller than cats but bigger than lalas.

[Ilan]

Nope i'll keep my horns.

[Vahlnir]

If they look like they did in FF XII then I'd approve. If they get the Au Ra treatment? No thanks.

[Tsumdere]

I will change if they are just like in FFXII. Tall and fierce. If they are short, not a chance.

Also, my main is a male and will only ever be male, so male viera better be here!

Im with you 100% on that, Viera are tall warriors so I really hope they respect the origianl version!

Not a good idea as you notice how roes/elves are pretty rare compared to other races. I would think SE learned from that what is considered more popular but we'll see what they decide to do when more info is released.

How is that not a good idea? A lot of people expect it to be that way, XII's design is pretty cool. Just look at Fran. If anything, people (obviously not all...) complained that Au Ras didn't end up as the original concept art. We have enough "cute" races, we need more diversity.

People will complain if only a small portion of the population plays the new race. Especially when Yoshi says it's the last race to be implemented. There will be pressure on the devs to add a new race then. Best solution would be to do it like what they did with Hyurs.
