Roegadyn with tails

Roegadyns with a tail would have been nice. Maybe not a behemoth tail, but something like a lions tail.

XI had a bit more effort in those races. The animation was done by hand so that's why the tarutarus look a bit cuter than just the child-size lalas. The equipment was also a lot more custom depending on your race. Galkas tail was part of the pants design but all classes have the same legs. Infamous flat buts of ARR dev response comes to mind.

Anyway you can find some solace int he fact that at least these mo-capped versions look more high def?

What would be feasible within their constraints would be giving bigger spectrum of skin hues. I'd love to play as ARR-galka but I can't watch the grey skintones. Please remove the sheet of desaturation from a part of the color scale so we could see more variety on the fields!

One of the main things that bugs me about FFXIV is that every single race's animations look the same... I'm not talking about emotes; I'm talking about battle animations. Every caster class holds their weapon the same way. Every tank holds and swings their sword in the same way. In FFXI, every single race had their own unique battle stance for each weapon/spell. They were similar in some ways... yes, but not identical. I loved the sense of racial identity everyone had, even in battle. Now all we have are unique emotes and sitting poses.

Point taken!

That Roe has some fabulous hair, btw.

Im kinda glad they are gone, roegadyns are much much more attractive now. Now we just need to get rid of lalafells and replace them tarutarus. Tarutarus were much better than the horrendous looking loli-things we have now.

iirc, there is no female Galka. They're sort of Unisex and reproduce via Reincarnation or something.

No.

But I could see merit in removing all the man-cats again...

Ugh no tails please! I was happy they removed them. I like the elegant look female Roe's have, I think adding a tail would ruin the effect. Then I'd have to be not-a-Girlka and I'd be sad! I always felt the tails in XI made the Galka feel more lizard-like, though they weren't.

Yeah, I remember that. They are also referred to as the 'male' pronoun despite presumably being unisex... I just didn't want to get into gender politics in this thread. XD

Roe's don't need tails, and there is no good rational to even add them, so why waste time whining about it? As it is, I prefer the non-gorilla shape of the Roe's, they look less comical.
