Final Fantasy XIV Viera Names Guide and Suggestions

Viera, the People of the Wood

The leporine race of the Viera is found in the forests of Southern Othard. They are a race of stall stature and have a similar resemblance with the Hyur and the Elezen. Their society is centered in a matriarchal system where male Viera is very rare and secluded, hardly having contact with their kin. Like the Elezen, Viera is known for its long lifespan reaching ages up to 240 years. The Viera name means “people of the wood” when translated into the Common tongue.

Viera Physical Appearance

Viera’s appearance is similar to the Hyur and the Elezen, the only difference is their bunny-like ears sprouting above their heads. Female Viera is commonly seen wearing attractive and seductive outfits. They are very agile and quick to move and it is hard to outrun them. Despite most of them being females, their martial might is as formidable and as matched to any Viera males or non-Viera males. Female Viera can reach a height of 5’10” to a maximum of 6’3” for both clans.

In a Viera society, it is said that over 80% of their populace are born females. Both male and female Viera look identical at birth until they reach adulthood at the age of 13. Like the Elezen, Viera can retain their physical youth for many years, which makes it impossible for commoners to decipher their real age from their appearance alone.

The Viera Clans

The Viera race is subdivided into two clans. The Rava clan who lives in the colorful Golmore Jungle, notable by their umber-colored skins; and the Veena clan, distinguished by their fair white skin tones.

The Rava Clan

The Rava clan is distinguished by their umber-colored skin. This skin color allows them to blend with their surroundings at ease, making them stealthy and almost invisible to the naked eye. Female Ravas are adept hunters and valiantly defend their homes and youngsters from any outsiders. The Rava Viera live and follow a strict code called the “Green Word”, also known as the “Word of the Wood”. This code forbids any of the Rava clansmen from interacting with the outside world unless at the utmost need or necessity. Few who leave to discover the world are considered banished and are bound to never return.

The Veena Clan

The Veena clan inhabits the forests lining the southwestern foothills of Skatay Range. Like the Rava, they live a wildered life through hunting, foraging, nurturing, and protecting the woods around them. With the ongoing wars, however, most of them left the mountain ranges and made their homes to the distant shores of Eorzea. Unlike their distant Rava cousins, the Veena Viera are more open to adventures and exploration of the outside world.

FFXIV Viera Quick In-Game Overview

The Viera playable race was introduced in the Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers expansion together with the Hrothgar race. Rava Viera characters have a +23 in Dexterity followed by a balanced +21 in both Intelligence and Mind. Strength is only at +20 with Vitality as the weakest stat with only +18 points. Veena Viera characters have a +23 in Intelligence, followed by +22 in Mind and +20 in Dexterity. Their Strength and Vitality stat is balancing with +19 points.

Taking consideration of the base stats for a Viera character, A Rava would benefit from a physical DPS class such as Archer (ranged), Lancer (melee), Pugilist (melee), and Rogue (melee). For a Veena, players may take advantage of the high intelligence base stat and consider picking a magic DPS class such as Arcanist (ranged), and Thaumaturge (ranged). It is also recommended for players to explore the classes on their own based on their playstyle.

The upcoming Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker will introduce a playable FF14 Viera male character and a female Hrothgar character. So, stay tuned for further game updates!

How to Unlock Alliance Raids in FFXIV?

Raids are the additional endgame feature of FFXIV. It provides challenges and rewards of stronger loot when players successfully clear current-tier raids. However, raids have limitations on the loot they can receive per week. These limitations, however, are removed when the raid is already old and is only undertaken for repetition or farming purposes. There are two types of raids, the Normal raids, and the Alliance raids. Raids are unlocked by doing certain quests, most of them are from main story quests. The level also plays a vital role in unlocking some of the main raid maps and dungeons. There are three available Alliance raids for each expansion of FF14 (A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers).

Alliance raids are composed of a 24-player team that will engage in a series of boss fights and dungeon crawling. That’s a lot of player names if you ask! Why not check our FFXIV Viera Name Generator introduced at the start of this guide for more name ideas for your Viera character?

FFXIV Viera Names and Viera Naming Conventions

Both the Rava and Veena share the same naming conventions, making it hard for others to distinguish to what clan the Viera belongs. Traditional Viera names are given at birth. These names are referred to as “forest names” because they were used by Viera residing in their homelands; Galmore Jungle for the Rava, and Skatay Range for the Veena. Such forest names are comparable to real-life Icelandic names, using also the same pronunciations.
