Look closer.  It really looks like they are cat ears... like it is a younger mithra.  The darker shade is the inner ear.

But I would say about the comment above that male mithra would be very cool!!!  I would say that sex exclusive races should have their alternate sex availible in the new game.

 

No those are horns, there's ears right below them.... And they are too sharp and curved to be cat ears.. ^^

 

GAH!  I am oblivious!  Then I must say that the wings are probably hidden and are super tiny for show... like a moogle's <(^_^)>

Interesting find!  I'd have to say I agree that this could be a new race... unless the character in question is wearing the horns like a head piece or a decoration.

 And you know what else it just be an NPC.... :P But it's fun to speculate.

What canon? This isn't FFXI, the races look similar but they are not the same races, they can make a femake Galka too if they want. I agree with the Viera coming over from Ivalice though, they'd have to have another name and story which is what these new old races are getting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannon_(fiction)

Canon, in terms of a fictional universe, is any material that is considered to be "genuine", or can be directly referenced as material produced by the original author or creator of a series. Basically, something that is "canon" means that it is something that "actually happened" in that fictional universe. An example of something non-canon is a fan-fiction; a fan fiction about a particular story is not "canon", as the story in the fan fiction never actually happened in that fictional universe.

So if you wrote a story within the Star Wars Universe and you had Storm Troopers use lightsabers that would be against canon.

And Galka are asexual they do not reproduce sexually they die and are reincarnated. Technically galka aren't male either ... they don't have any junk.

It's cannon to Final Fantasy XI, but not XIV.  They said to think of them as actors.  It's like having Ron Perlman play a Galka in a Final Fantasy XI movie then wear the same make up for Final Fantasy XIV, but not be a Galka.  Then you have Chyna (can't think of a big woman at the moment) play the female of that same race that Perlman is playing in XIV.

<(;_;)> There goes all my Galka fantasies... /sigh

I think we're forgetting about the video and captures from when the game was still called rapture. Has that been announced to be fake or true yet? Becuase I remember seeing the Gria in the caps if my memory serves.

I didn't see any in the old video, but I do know that the "Rapture" demo was really just a tech demo for what the MMO would look like... that video is like 3 years old now :-( I bet a lot has changed since then.

And I think I remember SE saying something about using FFXI stuff for that trailer like the outfits people were wearing so you have to be careful what you pick out of that video!

i wonder what this is, does not lok like an elvan to me, ears are too different.

Well I'm hoping they're true

Those are not ... they were apart of an april fools joke like 3 years ago

Mainly I only liked viera for their classes in tactics advanced in 12 I did like Fran.  I believe if they do decide to add a new race that it must serve a purpose...or under the new system races may not be based on stats but rather abilities whether active or passive.  If they take that route they could bring in as many as they wanted.

The Feol Viera is a sub-race of the Viera, characterized by light blond hair and shorter ears than standard Viera. They are the descendants of the Aegyl chief Feolthanos who fell in love with a full-blood Viera. The Feol were from birth treated as exiles by their full blood kin, cast out of the Wood to take refuge at Roda Volcano, where none dare enter. Since they have no wings, Feolthanos left the airship Galbana and the Auracite in the hopes that one day they come to him. His inheritance was received by Mydia/Judge of Wings, who decimated all that remained of his progeny to ensure that her people would never learn the truth behind their patriarch.

Maybe!?

awsome new characters means more variety. SWEET

I thought it was an Elvaan, but you could be right in any case that's a really cool story. I need to brush up on my FF lore me thinks. :P

Elvaan ears point backwards along the head, Taru ears stick out. Although that doesn't mean anything since canon doesn't matter >.>
