Petition to add Cheburashka to FF14

Please note that this is a serious petition and the proposed bear is a well known character in the CIS countries and other countries like China.

Cheburashka is a cute bear with big ears and is a well known character in the eastern world. The sweater he is wearing could possibly be a model for 3 channel dyeing for sweater gear.

This character could be added to other FF14 content, like cosmic explorer.

Also, this character could be used in a FF14 trial battle, similar to Titan Extreme in Shadowbringers.

The character could be used in FATE battles, such as collecting oranges

For some reason, it cut the last part out.


The character could also be used for Allied Society Quests. Here is a female version below. It could also be a minion and headgear.

The character could be the name of an emote for peak a boo movements and shaking hips side to side.

And I think the bear and his crocodile friend would make a great addition to Il Mheg in shadowbringers.

It’s not a new idea in Japan. It was heavily talked about and even on Reddit.

Your thoughts?

Well I suppose since we already have Chudo-Yudo and Koshchei...

The character is copyrighted though, so that's a problem. Same for adding other small bear-like humanoids if they look too much like Ewoks.

I'm not against adding small bear-like humanoids in general, of course.

Dear god, modern day Cheburashka looks horrifying... X~ ლ(◉n◉ ლ)

Ai Cheburashka looks horrifying… I’m glad you included the picture from the old cartoon though and yes! I’d love to have this cutie in the game.

ААААААА! Крокодил в ванной!!!

The AI slop isn't really selling me on this idea.

OP, in the nicest way possible, this looks like my sleep paralysis demon.

I can’t imagine SE would be thrilled at the prospect of giving someone else’s IP free advertising and not getting something commensurate in return (I.E free advertising lol). Though I read online there’s a Japanese reboot of the character, so who knows. Maybe we’ll see it with Mi’qote ears on ere long lol
