That's all it is, an opinion. I don't feel this great disgust or hate towards it, I personally can't get past the ears or the overall concept of bunnies. I seriously doubt that when I'm playing the game that I'll throw down the controller every time the character is on screen and heave into a toliet. Bunnies to me aren't the tougest or smartest animals out there. Maybe the animators got tired of predator based anthros and wanted to shake things up a bit. Whatever. Basically it boils down to perception and opinion. BTW, I can't see where I said that the Viera are a new inclusion; I stated that I personally hadn't seen bunnies before this. I have never played the Final Fantasy Tactics games they're originally from hence why it's all new to me.

Look for the strengths in the character. It's just a marketing ploy for the people that would only buy it to see the ears. Personally I feel kind of insulted for some reason, and I believe it's because you said that the race is a new inclusion, but as for me, someone who isn't interested in the game, I knew that the game was being based on a setting of a previous game that introduced the race, and the characters seemed interesting, I barely realized that they were supposed to be "bunny girls at all". So I guess I feel you're taking this skin deep, you're probably going to buy the game anyway, and does the species matter to you that much if the character is still interesting and likeable nonetheless?
