If you could get rid of one playable race and replace it, what would you choose?

I wouldn't rid of any, but I'd like Lalafell/Miqo'te/Roegadyn/Elezen to get emotes splitted by clan like Hyurs. As a Keeper of the Moon, I feel having the Seeker's emotes is completely against the lore of my clan as a brooding, solitary and more "serious" clan. As of now, the Miqo'te emotes only fit the Seekers, who by lore are more excited/happy-go-lucky/impulsive/lively than Keepers.

I'd get rid of Au Ra and replace it with an actual bestial lizard race, like Bangaas.

I'd get rid of Roegerdigryns (since no one plays them) and put in more Lalafells........ or Bunny people.

If no one plays them, then how is this thread the most popular of all the "Show your "race"" threads. I don't mind lala's, heck I even support the thread that asks for Roe's to be able to carry lala's, but if they get to uppity, I have no problem punting some potatoes.

Get rid of elezen, replace with elves !

I'd get rid off all races and replace with lalafell master race!...


Oh, wait... Only one race? And for another not existing already? Geez... Uhm...

Pointless Elezen replaced for Grias!

In heavensward. Lame Dragons (Au Ra) for Cool Dragons (Grias )

(I have always hated elves a lot, even more if mixed with giraffes. )

Lalafells.
They're always up to no good!

Honestly replace everything with anything!
Everything is so close to humans that it'd be considered cosplay at this point lol.
Elezen = tall ppl wearing elf ears
Mi'qote = ppl wearing cat get up
Lalafells = the race so ppl can fantasize about how their inner chibi selves would look like.
Roes = body builders dressing up as cloud despite their figure.
Hyur = the normal person every 1st mmo player would choose if thy didn't feel risky cuz its normal and safe.

Soon to be au ra = see mi'qote except this time ppl wanna be dragons lol.
There's not much variety due to every race being human like lol.
We need more beast stuff or something we see in other ff games.

Replace cats. Oh god do I hate cats. It's the only race where I can't hold a fantasia in for more than a week. Hate cats in real life, so cat persons make it 10x worse. Roe a quick second to it.

Surprised no one said this already, but I'd replace lalafels with ivalice moogles.

Remove all the races, replace them with goobbues.

Lose the roe's and let us play as Amal'jaa with a cool female model that is both beastial for the beast race lovers and humanish for the people who hate beasts :D

Lalafell. With anything else. Even a goblin would be better.

Define what makes a thread the "most popular" though. Most posts? Most views?

Roegadyn do have the smallest population if memory serves.

I'd replace Miqo'te, it isn't that I dislike the "animal people" trope, more that cat people in particular seem overdone. Some good races that were already made are Burmecians (IX), Genomes (IX, again), Moogles (Ivalice), Selkie (Crystal Chronicles, add in more wolf traits), and the very popular Viera (Ivalice, again). But, Miqo'te, along with the others are here to stay, so... I guess I'll just keep loving on the kitties I know.

Here's my thing...There should be more races that DON'T look so human.
Mithra actually looked more kitty like, while I don't like those types of bodies...I'd like more stuff in the pot for people to choose from for the people.
Au Ra is cool...but all that different is scale city. They still look like tiny/tall Elezen's...but more prettier/handsome.
XI seemed to have more...different looks...Like I said Mithra did, the Galka things look the same to me, but the Taru actually looked different than the Lalafel.

Give us unique races like; Qu or what Quina Quen is, Burmecians, Yuke...I'd take Viera because of the sometime heel arch, and they have claws.
I would say Gria but they are basically Au ra with wings...I want wings too. ):

@MiniPrinny: I like the Genomes and Selkie, but they still look human...You may as well slap a tail on a Hyur and call it a day. Selkie look no different from a teenage rowdy Hyur.
[I love that game, lore and race so don't get my wrong.]

I'd trade cats for moogles.

Most posts, and second most views.

Also while roe is most likely the least played race, the exact percentages were skewed by rmt bots(most being hyur), vastly inflating players counted for that census. Census showed that total Roe population was around 5%, but if you were to take the rmts out, I wouldn't be surprised to see roes jump up closer to 10%, along with every other race besides hyur getting a nice little bump.

If I were to go by what I see just on Sargatanas, I'd say Miqo'te make up about 35%, Lalafell about 25%, Hyur 20%, Elezen 10% and Roe 10%

If Elezen got the faces you see from Ishgard there would be a lot more..

Lalafells, they're either evil or weird.

Momodi can stay.

Get rid of Highladers and replace them with Al Bhed

If I could recreate sexypants, I may even consider rolling my first male character. Who doesn't like a little eye candy.

creepy lalafells with playable moogles

away with lalafells (would have been ok i guess, if they didn't look like thanksgiving turkeys, running around)
in with Ravana (yes the new expansion primal)

Actually I'd replace Qiqirn with Burmecian only because Qiqirn look like they were based on them.

However I'd replace Mith.. Miqo'te with Viera. Mostly because the Viera look like they could be made to look more human than how Mithra transitioned into Miqo'te. Also the Viera is also the only known race to have really High Heels as common footwear, for every job and outfit that exists. Heck in the right outfit you'd think they were or a faction under Merlwyb's personal command. Just look up Ching Shih and say they are not similar.

So many High Heels you'd think it were the back alleys of Ul'dah

Let's switch
Lalafell -> Sylph
Roegadyn -> Amajaa
Mi'quto -> Kobold
Elezen -> ixali
Hyruu -> Sahagin

i wouldn't :D because even as a hypothetical this is a horrible sentiment.

Honestly I think everything is fine as it is, the only thing I'd really want to change about any of the races is to vary up their appearances a bit from how they are now. Give the Miqo'te more of a feral look like what they had in FFXI- or better yet, more pronounced differences in the sub-races like the ones between Midlander and Highlander hyur.

My favorite set of races in FF has always been the ones FFXI introduced. I never cared much for the Ivalice races, nor any of the other offshoots they had in any of the other FF games. So I'm happy with what we've got now.

I'll go for any race that sports a fancy dancer class :)

I'd get rid of all the color-swap race "variants" and replace them with physiological variants (e.g. midlander/highlander). There could be humanlike moonseeker/sunseeker template Mi'qote and more bestial Mi'qote. Tall normal Elezen and petite Elezen. Normal Roegadyn and stone-like Roegadyn. Normal Lalafell and Lalafell that don't hide their demonic core.

Damn, you... Made me think that twice... Ivalice moogles... *-*

I'd get rid of all the races and we'd all be carbuncles and moogles.

I do. lo/!!! Well, I used to. Back in the 2.0, I picked Highlander over Midlander because of the STR+VIT bonus, since I was going to main Paladin. Not gonna lie though, aesthetically I am still prefering F highlanders over F midlanders.

Ontopic: Rep cat-people with Viera. I also support the idea of having Ivalice Moogles, because these are damn adorable.

Remove Lalafell.
Add Viera.

I quite like our evil potatoes, tbh.

I'd probably replace Elezen with elves that aren't strangely elongated.

i support this. give me ronso plz

Wow, everyone hating on elezen. At least they're a unique take on elves, if they had normal human proportions they'd just be tall hyurs with pointy ears.

Really I just want more variation between the subraces, like hyurs have.
