still no reasonable suggestions as to why we shouldn't have vieras.
if you ask me, the more races we can get the better.you can play human/elven/dwarf (yea i consider tarus/lalafells as dwarfs without huge beards), so what's the problem with having more animal/reptile races?

viera has a place in history of Final Fantasy, so why not use her in an online game, which is mostly played by those that have played Final Fantasy games before, and would love seeing their famous races again?

"hey let's rather have mixed races of the current ones, that we also had for a decade in another game before" /wrist
