I can think of three Au Ra right now who are roaming - or used to roam - Eorzea (Yugiri, Princess Yuki and Sidurgu) and I am only aware of one Viera (Sophie). I might be missing some, but it cant be an aweful lot. So the chances of an average Mi'qote encountering either of those races is pretty slim - and vice versa, with Mi'qote sticking to Eorzea only.
And even if we can only speculate in regards to the possibilty of Au ra and Viera meeting, I'd go with pretty slim aswell, given how secluded both of those races live for the most part.

So, generally speaking I dont think Viera as a whole group would have any opinions on Mi'qote - simply because they dont know that they exist in the first place.

In regards to Mi'qote the first lorebook states that living in cities must seem weird to them, because its so different from their own hunting culture (something both clans are extremly proud off), so I wouldnt be surprised if the Xaela and Viera way of living would earn their respect and understanding - would they ever happen to learn about it in the first place.
You know what... I'll be honest. I was thinking about this from the PC's pov. I didn't even think about lore wise. And damn you're right, lore wise they would hardly if ever meet to form any kind of opinions. With that said though, how do you feel about them? Should they be more animal like? Should they have more emotes with their tails or ears in the case of Viera? Or should they remain pretty much anime people with anime animal ears? I kindof wish we got more random stuff ingame.. like their sleeping habits or whatnot. I dunno why but I'm digging myself a huge rabbit hole with this train of thought.
