But Lopporits would just make zero sense.

With that said I think it'd be cool if you could unlock them through completing the expansions, I don't think it's that big of a deal really if it makes no sense.
I'd really like to play a Garlean too.
Altho you'd basically be a walking spoiler.

Oh my gosh I know so many who wish for garlean to be a race they already have the body structure because they are pretty much hyur faces with elezen bodies give or take some features, but the models are similar kind of mix between elezen and roe.

Thing is with the way the game's story goes, player population literally isnt accounted for by any NPC in the game. We could have been a Loporrit from the start and as far as anyone before getting to the moon was concerned we would have just been a wierd talking rabbit and the only one they'd ever seen even though 500 other players playing as loporrits were actively running around them during the day lol...

Didn't SE say that they weren't gonna do any more races after Viera and Hrothgar?
And seeing how those two are going, I don't think they wanna go through with all that again.

I'm sorry to all those who wanted to make a Lopporits named Threeway.

However, that being said, it's not happening. It would make no sense lore-wise, and there's no gymnastics they could do to make it happen.
Also, they have said vieras and hrothgars are the last races they'll ever add. I don't think they want to deal with long ears on hats for another race.

it's not like they even need a lore excuse to be.
It's not like warcraft where each race has their own starting area.

Lopporit race being a reaper lets go XD

Not to be a party pooper, but SE is on record saying No more new races, point blank.

Doesn't mean it'll never happen, but I wouldn't expect them to change their minds over the next.. I dunno.. 5 years.

Lopporits are what I wanted Ivalican moogles to look like. It would be a cute second short race like the lalas.

If you guys don't mind playing ear-less, zero-hat Lopporits that cycles between like 4-5 hairstyle for years like in the case of a certain big-cat race, which basically just furry Lalafell.

There's a relatively easy middle ground to this. All you need is to create a Fashion Accessory that's a 'Potion of Miniaturization' or a 'Lagomorph Potion' to allow players to temporarily glamour themselves as Loporrits. You wouldn't have to worry about gear/hairstyles/combat animations then, so it should be straightforward to implement in a shorter timeframe.

They said they weren't going to add more races after Au'ra as well...

However they added viera due to all the threads asking for them non stop. Even more so after we got the Ivalice raid in Stormblood. Hrothgar was added because of repeated threads asking for a less humanoid race.
