Well perfect Miqo'te are in game we could see basicly what a mammalian demi-beastman would look like in the graphics for the game, we could see the type of model it would have been the perfect example, and there would be no bias to get Miqo'te in the game because its already there. The only logic for not choosing Miqo'te for the example is to hint its something they have been looking into, tell me one other reason they would not want to use an example in game so we know what it looks like.

A textbook case of the typical forum goer... They only see what they want to. Nothing else registers.

Guaranteed that if Viera aren't implemented, but something of the same general description given in the poll is in its place, you're going to see people saying things along the line of "WTF! SE doesn't listen to their players! They asked if we wanted Viera and the vast majority clearly did! But we didn't get them!"

Can't wait to see how it pans out.

Text book case of looking futher into it, logically they should have used Miqo'te as the example because its in game and for the reasons above, and Yoshi-P's wording in the letter seems to show it was a mistake adding that (possible leak) or something cheeky to add for discussion, to see what the community thought of the idea.

Why would they bring up a race that's already in-game as an option for a "new race" to be added? That would make absolutely no sense.

It would be like asking "what new types of mounts would you like to see in FFXIV? Large, bird-like creatures (Chocobos)?"

They mentioned Viera as a general example of the kind of race they're describing aside from Mi'qote.

Because it shows what they mean thats all its about, if they use Miqo'te as an example of a mammalian demi-beastman (which is what they are) it would show us what they would look like in game (kind of) and it would show no bias, I personally think Viera would fit into the black shoud very well, however I would not mind seeing other types of mammalian demi-beastmen if the gave a place in the game.

The reason Mamalian demi-beastmen needs an example is because its not as obvious as to what exactly they mean as things like reptilian beastmen.

For all we know Mammalian demi-beastmen could be bunny ixali.

Also this leads me to believe it was snuck in as a kind of hint by Yoshi-P:

though I wonder if they received an unfair advantage because I dropped the name “Viera.” For some reason

If it was an honest mistake I would expect something more like "This could have recived an unfair advantage because I used Viera as an example, I will moniter the forums to see what people say" rather than a quip about it being dropped in for some reason. If it was me saying it that would indicate there is more in it than just an example.

Funny... image seems alot like Garuda.

Lame... I was hoping for something better.

Remember we can only go so far with Viera pics on these forums.

No I meant in terms of races, predictable choice by the community.

Please no Castanic armors in FF14.

Beyond that, I don't have any problem with Viera, and I'm a huge FF12 fan, but races like the Bangaa would be great additions too. Maybe not exactly, because floppy ears, but something similar.

I think the race tribe variants are how we will get Roeg's their tails back.

I can't believe this thread is still going on, I'm surprised.

And HOW IN THE WORLD does Tera have ANYTHING to do with Viera or Final Fantasy? The armor styles on Viera aren't even close to slutty. PLUS if you look at how all the equipment is still the same on all the races we have now, what would make the Viera any different if they were added? I question how some of you people think lol

Viera fans are multiplying like bunnies, I see.
