A new race

[Demonjustin]

Oh and before I forget yes the lizard race looks awesome man, heck they should've put them in instead of the Galka, sorry Galkans but they look waaay cooler.

Well in all honesty thats what they are statistically, they have bad magic capabilities compared to other races, though this is due to their speech being weird and making it hard to pronounce cantations properly, but besides that they are physically the best at taking hits and one of, if not the strongest races in FFXII. That basically fits Galkas who suck at magic, are the second strongest in STR, but have the best VIT and HP.

In regards to story limitations, I am a believer that you can overcome any barriers in a story if you really, really want to. Just gotta think outside the box.

We do know other races exist outside of the enlightened 5 and the beastmen; the zilart and the kuluu. Yes, they are extinct, but it is entirely plausible that Square could introduce a new facet to the lore that makes the introduction of new races 'fit'. It would be very difficult though, and not everyone would accept it.

In truth, Square has no reason to do this, so they won't. FFXI doesn't 'need' new playable races, and I understand it's not a matter of need, but as I said in my previous post this is not a game where you create new characters frequently. You create one and even if you play for years you will never accomplish everything, and any character CAN accomplish everything. There is no need to create a new character.

Besides how many times have they surprised us so far eh? How many times have we all thought "Ah SE isn't going to do that they're too lazy da bums" and surprise! They do it. So...maybe...maybe maybe maybe....

maybe, I know it won't as of the cost and time everyone is cramming down my throat, but maybe.

I'd like a new race as long as they're humanoid.
(Maybe Tritons, Gorgons, or Adlets?)

I don't think there should be one, though a system to change our face/race would be much more welcomed...

see to me this seems more plausible, even if it was a payable service, 10 years with the same dude gets kind of boring, even if they only let you change hair and not race, that to me would take far less effort than a new race, would be nice to see.
