Who else is race changing?

[Tlachtga]

I have two alts I plan to change to Viera and Hrothgar. The races are nice, but not enough for me to change from lalafell.

[Lersayil]

I was looking forward to changing to Viera, but after the benchmark I sort of reconsidered. I really like the Viera mannerisms and animations, but I don't like how the heavy armor looked on them. Somehow the proportions seemed wrong? Like the armor wasn't really fitting on the body type, making it look like it was a size too big for them (which now that I think about is also an occasional issue with my Au Ra)?

Anyways, I'll reserve judgment until release.

I like my Au Ra the way she is, so I can't and won't change her anymore.
Also, Viera are just too tall for my personal tastes. I'm a small female irl (just barely taller than my almost min height Au Ra), maybe that's why? Don't know, I just personally find that small women look prettier than tall women... I know it's weird.
But other than that the Viera look really nice, so I'll probably at least temporary change one of my retainers to a Viera. They just have so few hairstyle options that I like.

Hrothgar aren't really my thing. They look cool and all, but I'm sure I won't use them at all. I really like kemonomimi but I'm not a fan of furry. But I'm still looking forward to the nice Hrothgars others create. ^^

Undecided. I like tall women, but Highlander emotes aren't my taste, and Roes and Elezen have weird proportions, so I'm tempted. But I'm also attached to Iyami as she is.

If New Game+ does keep the free fantasia from completing the Praetorium quest, I'll try it out and decide then. Otherwise I'll probably keep waffling and never actually do it.

I think that's a feature of heavy armor and not Viera, because I have the same problem as a female Roegadyn. Hopefully we get more form fitting armor in the future, the kind that hugs the body instead of hovering around it.

Its possible. I am guessing that the heavier looking armors aren't fitted perfectly on the more lean (scrawny) pc models? It practically poked me in the eye when I was using the Bonewicca striking gloves as a miqote and then fantasiad into an aura. It was a relatively decent fit as a miqo, but when I put them on afterwards it seemed large, clumsy and 2 sizes larger than the arm. Never used it since.

Still, I guess it's on a case-by-case basis, as some other plate looking armors are fine?

Anyways, guess we'll see when ShB releases. Gonna make an alt and try on stuff before chugging a fantasia for sure though.

I don't think i'll change my main race now. Vierra are nice but this lack of ear animation kills all the mood for me.

[Sentaryuu]

I dont plan to change at launch, but I may change into Viera sometime after I have beat main story. Wont be changing into a Hrothgar however. My character just wont do it as one.

But I might make a Hrothgar alt. And I am thinking of changing one of my current alts into a Viera for a little while. None will be permanent Viera at this moment.

[LilySkye]

nope, miqo'te forever ❤

Viera are meh in my opinion and this is why:

no ears animation :/ it's the same as using the ears from the gold saucer
the emotes lack emotion (and the ears do nothing lol)
can't be short
no tail

Welcome to tall races. Somehow armour scalling has always been... off.

Apparently my character has like a breeze coming from below or something unlike that hyur.

edit: to stay on topic... No I won't change.
