What if the reason why there isn't a new race is because...

I think there is no new race because we just got one with 3.0 so wait maybe 5.0

What the point? All the character models look the same. There's hardly any variance in the geometry.

Oh, lets take a Hyur, give it the miqote tail but with a reptile texture and add scales and horns. =.=

I much rather they add more faces and body features to the existing races.

They maybe do for 4.0 lets wait fan fest if they give more infos

Adding a single new race with any significant variation from the existing races would essentially be an expansion in itself for the Art team because of the hundreds of gear items that would have to be updated to the new body shapes. This is why I am not expecting anything more than a new race with a tail / face / height changes in the future.

What if the reason why they don't implement hybrid races is because...

it's an incredibly boring idea?

How rare are Warriors of Light? I don't think rarity applies in FFXIV as an excuse the way it does in other games such as WoW. We're already special snowflakes.

The warrior of light is treated as a solo entity, created by hydaelyn. This can mean whichever form she deems appropriate. This isn't like wow where a race needs a decently sized populus for them to be lore friendly

Not really true

All character models are based off the hyur male (it is used as a default), just proportioned and animated differently. Do the /flex emote, you get stuck in the hyur male default pose for a second no matter what race you are. That's why they don't have to re-adjust the gear on new races.

Lalafell are a mixed breed between Hyurs and a popoto - No wonder they had to be lab-created by allagans.
And even Au Ra are probably a hybrid between a desperate Hyur and...some scalekin.

Hahahahaha! Loved it!

Maybe say that in the first place then. :P

With HW there was no Fantasia.

People didn't buy CE for a Fantasia. If you want to argue that the base game should have included one: cool, I have nothing against that argument. But there was a version of the game that came with one, which is what I was pointing out vs no Fantasia whatsoever.

People wouldn't (and shouldn't.) Otherwise my point stands on what I responded to Enur with.
