As a Viera main. Yes. Height is measured by the head, unless we're comparing ourselves with FemRoes, then we also count the ears to be taller than them as well.
Reasons 1-10. You are a fan of RuPaul's Drag Race and drag queens. Although I think drag queens are beautiful, I don't want to be one... And they won't tell you this in public, but in the /tells and DMs all I've ever heard is male buns are just.... ughhhhh. lmao
I wonder if Yoshi-P will bless us Viera with our own Ear Gloves like Miqo'te ? However I imagine they would look more comical then cute. Hope everyone enjoys the Year of the Bunny Supremacy
While gigantic ear gloves would be hilarious, I imagine they will simply make the ears crop through the headpiece, as they already do for several headpieces already.
Viera made me play in the first place. And you know what, I actually never appreciated the fact that Viera do have the most of unique hairstyles before this video so HELLA GOOD POINT. BUNNY NOSES ARE THE MOST ADORABLE and anyone who hates bun noses is just a lil hater. But the biggest appeal to me *was* the lore. It has a lot of creativity opportunity. From creating your own village lore to having a freedom to go literally any direction. Viera were good hunters, but also apparently according to lore have deep aether reserves, so truly sky is the limit. Also one reason that was not mentioned is that Veena Viera are effectively pipe dream for any sweedaboo/vikingboo. Clan Ymir, come on.
I swear I could have written this comment myself. The noses, the fact that when they were introduced Viera were often red mages, the soft Scandinavian theme of the Veena. So many reasons I adore them.
I know you showed the female walk animation when discussing how you love their walk, BUT did you know Male Viera swing their hips when they walk? It's most noticeable with the default race gear but now you cant unsee
I'm super late but I noticed it when I got the streetwear outfit and noticed my male viera was swaying his hips when he walked and now I love male viera even more. I like to insert myself into my character and as a straight guy and now knowing I swing my hips when I walk in game is just so amazing for the already soft bunny boys
Viera really are extremely well done and I absolutely love mine. However I've already planned to switch to fem Hrothgar when they release if they look good. But one thing I will most definitely miss is that race specific gear. Those Viera pantalettes work with *EVERYTHING*, it's insane. I use them in so many glamours.
I'm a catboy, and one of the very few in my fc of Viera, thanks to the year of the bun :') When male Viera was released, I was really tempted to fantasia temporarily, but I love my catboy too much, and settled for a lore-accurate bunboy alt. ^^ I love all the unique Viera hair and I hope we get some of them on the other races (at least the hair that a certain spoilery character has!). It'd be nice to see Au Ra next, a lot of friends and people I follow coincidentally are very passionate about them and I'd love to hear your take!
Before Fran was the true best bun girl, Shara, my reason for selecting Viera. And while they may all look like freaking super models, I like to think that they are super wholesome, family oriented people.
I've always played female characters in game because I prefer to be cute rather than cool. However, when male viera came out it was a perfect fit and I haven't gone back
As a catboy who survived the extinction level event of "BunBoy Rapture", I can see the appeal but I am needed as a Miqo as it stands. For reasons. Academic Reasons, yes.
This makes me wonder how many people turned to Viera after the males came out. I'm also still a catboi myself, but I do still see many around. And yes I shall also stand for the Miqo'te as well.
I started out as a female Miqo'te and was okay with it. Then, mid-SB, I wanted to create my second retainer, saw female Rava Viera... and fell in love. I made the retainer a miqo and fantasia'd to Rava Viera myself. And I never looked back. Only thing is... I miss hats at times ^^'
Frankly, I think Viera have the best body proportions if you want to make a tall humanoid character with nice hips/butt. They don't have that lankiness and giraffe neck of Elezens and they don't look stocky and barrel-chested like Femroes. And I'm glad to hear at least somebody else likes those adorable noses. I personally can't look at mine without wanting to kiss it. I miss my Au'Ra sometimes, but now I can finally reach the top shelf.
happy you mentioned the noses since I have had a few people tell me it looks bad but I just think they are one of their cutest features(as a bunny boy I do appreciate a nose boop every now and then)
Funnily enough I love every race and one unique thing that makes them them. I love my catboi and will not change from him, I love the poses the little clawed hands people hate the posture in all sit poses.... like I like them! Same goes for a lot of things people hate on every race I love!
We viera players are a very based people. Viera are all pretty tall, strong, hot, and long lived. 360+ years to be precise. They also are strong af, have a really good sense of small, and obviously super hearing.
My tin pot theory is they didn't give Viera hats on purpose. We'd be to good otherwise. The devs had to give other races a chance. Yoshi P might deny it but we of the Bun Bun Master Race know the truth.
As a Hyur, I see the Viera as a very interesting race. I don't hate the race, but I don't do well making a male Viera, it looks off and doesn't fit my style. but they are unique in their own way
I'm a Fran Stan. They just happened to introduce male Viera with Endwalker, right as I got back in the game. It was a no-brainer, and he's been my main ever since. HATE that I can't wear Amon's pimp hat, but love that I get to play this awesome race in this awesome game!
I do like the face options for the male Viera but I don't like the ears at all and that keeps me from playing them. I don't care for the noses much either, mainly just the slight color shift that makes it look more like a bunny or cat nose. If I could have a Viera without the ears and a normal nose they'd definitely be my favorite.
I was a male miqo, and I swapped to male viera because I saw a hairstyle that I wanted INSTANTLY. So I fantasia’d and never looked back lol. I absolutely ADORE my bun boy Something that really sticks out to me is how incredible he looks in cutscenes. Like, my ssd is filled to the brim with screenshots of cutscenes with my character lmao. I also went for the veena clan because I love Norse mythology and culture, and a lone Nordic wood warder was a really badass backstory that I barreled straight for 😅
'dont be the guy who spams chat with emotes messages' err yea I didnt even know I could turn the messages off until today, and ive been playing 2+ years now q_q
Great video! I love the quality. Am going to represent my Hrothgar brethren, but I don't know if they should actually be the last so they could incorporate the females as well.
Did you know that the base gear set for Viera was because of FFXII's Viera, Fran. While it is true their first appearance was from Tactics Advance the attire wasn't fleshed out until modeled on her.
Lalafell or Roegadyn next! If you however decide to be basic and go the Au Ra way, at least remember to mention that the males run like Crash Bandicoot.
I think I bought fantasia like.....almost 10.... or probably a bit more than that before endwalker came out. Lately, I feel like bunni boi looks cool. SO COOL. Like people know how to make them look so magnificent but that's the thing. _Do I want to buy another fantasia?_ and most probably I'd change back to Au Ra (female) again in the end. Uhhh Dx I dont like repeating things, hence, why the idea of just making a new alt as bunni boi is out of the window Maybe someday I'd push myself to make the alt. Better save the money and myself from falling back into the rabbit hole hahahahaha~
Uhh.......Im ashamed to say that I bought another fantasia * _coughs_ * Planning to get the bunni boy after today's maintenance hahahahaha...hahaha...ha....ha.... OTL
2: "Soft Boys" Plays a rugged ex-military combatant willing to lay his life down because he heard male viera live alone in the forest and kill like a one man commando badass. "Okay look... I didn't get the community memo..."
Used the free fantasia in DT to try out Viera, i didn't last 20 minutes and went to switch back when i saw all my headgear glam were not showing, wish they disabled the ears and allowed us to wear headgear i'd take that tbh.
Most Viera fans seeing Viera playable in 14: I can play as Fran's race Me: I COULD RECREATE MY GIRL SHARA (For those unaware, the first game to have Viera wasn't FF12, it was FF Tactics Advance before 12 was made)
I went through most of ARR as a male Viera. He looked really cool and I was proud that he looked unique. Over time however, his feminine dances and emotes got to me. IT went against how I imagined his personality to be, it seemed out of character. I have nothing against feminine guy, I consider myself to be somewhat feminine for a guy. Then I went on a crazy fantasia spree and tried out several races and genders. I've recently landed on a male Lalafell. He's short and cute like me so I find him more relatable without his emotes and such going against his character. Honestly, the little dance he does is something I would randomly do in my kitchen while cooking, lol. That's all to say, even though I didn't stick with my male Viera, their aesthetics are top notch and I often stop and stare at the different designs of the players running around (and there's a lot of them, lol!). Also, for your next video, I'd love to see one of about Lalafell, or for something less common, the Roegadyn. :)
I actually fantasia'd off a Viera because of no hats (After becoming one) and now I proudly wave the Roe-Gals flag. Just something about the Roegadyn ladies speaks to me, and its not just Admiral Mommy in Limsa hehe.
I had a Fantasia addiction before shadowbringer and stayed mostly to Au Ra before I switched to Veira, since I switched I havent spent a dime on Fantasia and since I pre ordered I had my bunny a 2 weeks before everyone else
I have another reason for someone to play Viera. If they love 80s anime (or its aesthetic). The reason I fanta’d into bun was because I wanted my WoL to look like an 80s anime protagonist, and 80s art styles have the thick ass eyelashes. Vieras have the thickest eyelashes in the game, so yeah. Amusingly, I had an OC I designed with Vieras in mind, ten years ago. That character’s ear size relative to their head, I applied it on my WoL. That said, one measures a Viera’s height without the ears, but bigger ears are more attractive. They’re like boobs, butts or thighs-the bigger the better, but you do not include them in determining whether someone is chonk or not.
If my main wasnt a catboy with his own story I would be veira main for sure. I do kinda wish they had tails though even tho it's not strictly lore friendly. also waiting with baited breath on when they can wear hats
Viera have two heights, head height and ear height. My bunni boi is 5'7'' head height and like 7'2'' ear height. (might change later) But I feel like you can't only use one measurement for them. Don't forgo the ear play, its very important and the length matters.
on the 9th with RP, its sad to say many RP communities dont welcome bunnies, sadge, this is on chaos center btw. tbh. i like em and play a female one cause she looks beautiful and i must admit i never really noticed the emotes was more elegant fluent? havent changed ever since they came out, it just fits ^^
Nice video! When I heard Viera were added to FF14, it gave me a slim glimmer of hope that maybe, one day perhaps, they might add the true best race in the Final Fantasy games.. The Burmecians//Cleyrans. Freya Crescent, you shall never be forgotten.
Former Au Ra main here, turned Viera. I actually made my Viera a Sharlayan Researcher. Part of the Baldesion Annex for roleplay. Went from a bounty hunter Au Ra to a Scholar Viera.
As a fem viera main….this is accurate 😌. Also as an artist i get to have so much fun drawing my girl kalypso and have a well thought out story for her. This is easily my favorite race in the whole game besides au’ra
The height, big ears, and faces won me over. I started as Miqo'te for the free trial, but it didn't feel right in cutscenes. Every time I saw a Viera I felt it in my heart T.T, so by lvl 10 I bought up to ShB + fantasia to be a viera and have stayed a bun since
