Feral beast race?

Weird lizard people? Really? You think that's going to win people over to your case? I want a playable beast race too, but you don't see me being rude about it.

Another option would be to add an item that changes your characters appearance, that way you won't need to do any work with armors, just slight weapon adjustments and animations. Could also be used for testing feral races out, see how popular it gets. Just some more suggestions :)

Nah, that's not true at all. Races like Ananta and Lupin may live and work with humans, but it's clear that they are BEASTMEN living and working with humans. No one ever refers to them as human, because they are not human. This game has a pretty clear division between those who are human (predominantly human in appearance, with variance in height and bulk, and occasionally with minor animal bits tacked on) and those who are beastmen (pretty much everyone else who is not Voidsent). It was never about tribal behavior, or summoning Primals, though that may have been excuses made by various oppressors to justify their hatred and bigotry. No, it's always been about appearance, pure and simple.

In Eorzea, where the Warrior of Light gets their start, tensions with Beastmen are much higher than in Doma (and any tensions that might have existed in Ala Mihgo have been set aside for now, in order to face a greater foe). For the Warrior of Light to gain the trust and cooperation of the three starting nations, they NEEDED to not be a Beastman. Whether Hydaelyn COULD have made a Beastman the Warrior of Light is unknown, but if she had her plan would have come to a swift end.

For this reason, for a playable Beastman race to work out, SE would need to completely retool the Main Scenario to accommodate them. I just don't see that happening - and that's not even bringing into consideration the difficulties of redesigning every piece of equipment in the game to fit the new race.

Let's make a race out of Red XIII's people from FFVII. That's feral, right?

Please don't call anthropomorphism "furry". Furry is the sh***y community made of sex-addict, not the fact of making anthropomorphic character. You're dirtying all those cool anthro character like Crash or Spyro.

Ivalice moogles can use similar proportions to current Lalafells. It would be good to have another short race for a change. Also, very feasible lore-wise, for them being a whole different kind of moogle that are less mystical, and more evolved to cope with the ambient.

OMG i didnt even think of the Ivalice moogles....I actually liked their designs quite a bit!

Ï thought only a small part of the Furry community was about the sex, but people made a mountain out of a molehill and now the whole Furry community are to blame.

A small part? Haha. No. I've been there for 2-3 years and boy clichés are so right.

Woah there. Furries are not all addicts. Try going beyond the internet, and look into fur meets. They're usually not what you'd expect. Also my boyfriend and I have been together for years now, and we're decent people. Please don't make fun of furries, just because you might not want a beast race.
