First expansion pack and new race

It'd be a style of Gria (Draconian) if anything, you know, considering the whole Dragon theme of Ishgard. If it's Viera then well, he may as well relaunch XIV a 3rd time and make it take place in Ivalice.

Also no, Padjal aren't their own race as any of the races can become blessed by elementals.

Something like this is what I want for a draconian race though I wouldn't mind a fiercer image. I imagine the wings would give armor designers clipping nightmares, though.


However, SE would have to be somewhat creative with their story lore to fit them in. I guess a "subjugated" species of the true dragons (Ishgard's enemies) could may be...passable.

can someone tell me where there has been anything said about an expansion? i read the live letters so if it was in one of those i must have missed it

so has Kan-E Senna special special rights? Because Northern Thanalan is not in the shroud. If I remember right, that was were the fight around the Calamity was fought

oh and on another note

No Vierras, no please no no no no. Not another race that seems to fill fetishes. I love love LOVE Miqotes, but they are getting overly kinkified ingame. Without giving any legit options on acting on it. (Oh come on, I too want to make gil as curtisan, or pay gil to be with that cutie)
I think Vierras are on a different "pane" than Eorzea. Beastrtribe, just doesnt feel right, considering we are at war with most of them. Playable Goblin? That would make some fates weird. UNLESS we start making Fraktions, Beastmen versus rest, with the option of being friendly or hostile towards smoothskins.
The only plausible races in this world are those of what Kan-E Senna and co are, and Garlemands.

New race, would make this btw very very WoWish. Even in WoW people sneered at Draenei, Bloodelf, Worgen and Pandaren, even though all of them were and are deep lore.

Look on the bright side, most of them will probably be Fantasia conversions from existing cat girls.

And she popped up in Ul'dah for that meeting with the other leaders...

She probably has some sort of leeway given she is the leader of Gridania and sometimes has to travel, but yeah, that is a bit of a break from the lore around the Padjal.

Yeah, I read that after you said they weren't there own race. :D

I think that rules them out from ever being playable.

Yeap i doubt Padjals will be playable races since they are humans just gifted or something like that...

Personally I'm fine with current races and would like more character customization like sizes, weight, more height options etc...

---

I think i remember yoshi-p saying they wont add Vierra due to the fact that they have to make a male version. There just too much issue with that race to be added but who knows yoshi-p love changing his mind to make people happy sometimes.

can we have some kind of an ancient allagan made mecha race pls?

Like what ?any examples ?

I'd like the Amalj'aa from the Ring of Ash.

No more animal or child races, I think the 10 year old looking character should be purged into oblivion ... its weird to see 40 year old men playing them, in the real world that's a jail sentence.

I doubt Amalj'aa will be playable race for same reason as viare will not :(

There faces with 40 year old for humans at least :P

While I don't think it will come to pass, it would be neat to have the beast tribe races be the new player races. We already have an "in" for that, given that two (and more, in upcoming patches) races already have "good" factions in the Little Solace Sylphs and the Ash Tribe Amal'ja.

I don't understand why they would ever introduce a new race into this game. The whole premise of the game is to be able to do everything on one character. Why would I want to start over again just so I can have oversized ears on my head?

I just call those the True Beast Tribes because these beast tribe members follow their original way of life before Primal influence took control of their Beast tribes.

Right now they're simply fighting to restore their Beast tribe to their original form before Primal Influence and to save what is left of their real Beast Tribe from becoming corrupted.

As for new race being a Beast Tribe most likely they will make it a new Beast Tribe race we have yet to see as the new Playable race if they do this.

Due to gear I doubt we'll see playable beast tribe races. Though it will nice if they could become our companions instead

There is still the posibility of a Humanoid Beast tribe.

Don't forget there are other Beast Tribes in the world of FF14 and are not bound to Eorzea but are located in other continents.

These other Beast tribes have been encountered by the Allagan civlization during their world conquest which lead to them discovering Primals for the first time. Of course this lead to the discover of Summoners and bring the Primal Knowledge into Eorzea which lead to the early members of Eorzea's beast tribe learning how to summoner their Primals during the Allagan Era.

A magical item called Phial of Fantasia coming to mog station at some point. I know, research is hard.

If not Viera, other races I'd like to see are Guado, Ronso, Burmecians

It will probably be a form of a Gria. For a few reasons:

1. They could fit in with Ishgard
2. They fit the semi-human motif.
3. Require less effort to develop.
4. Are final fantasy based.
5. Wouldn't require a vastly different version of male/female to work.

A tiny dragon-ish tail and small horns/wings sounds like a cash cow expansion to me.

Just Googled Gria cause other than FF VII, VIII and XI i had never played any other FF game (yes i am a sad person for not knowing the coolness of the other FF games), and wow looking at some art and other info on the Gria race I hope they do get introduced into the game.

So long as the race isn't a human with animal bits glued onto them, bring on whatever. Make Spriggans a playable race, just for giggles.

Personally I don't really think they should add another race, at least not as a playable race. I mean it can work but it could kinda seem strange at this point, who knows.

They could add a viera-like race from across the jade sea, one clan being the Jade rabbits from across the jade sea. the other being the Mountain Hares from Xelphatol region.

You see what Miqo'te is, there is almost no way that it would be anything other than a human race with animal parts XD

That would take effort.]

It wouldn't be that strange. There is an entire world and even part of the continent we haven't even touched. Who is to say that suddenly due to _____'s threat this race decided to join the others in protecting Eorzea? Oh what a little lines of text can do to change the story! What you could call strange is how did we never see female highlander, roegadyn, and male miqo'te before the meteor? See the issue there? In fact with the logic presented your character wouldn't exist :P

Add thief while your at it. :V

Not gonna rest until I can play as a Goblin. All I've wanted since back in XI.

Ishgard expansion. Gria race. Thanks.

Gria race, I would make an alt for this I think.

I'd sacrifice a child for Bangaa.

Hmmm Gria would just awesome...Cause we already have beast tribe race miqote...We do have cat ears,big giants,humans elves but we do not have something horns lol so Pls SE add Gria since you wanted add dragon-ish race...and males will be looks cool as well as females of Gria race....so do it pls :)

I really hope it's some sort of not human thing, I would like to see something like moogle or nu mou or bangaa or something to add more variety

I doubt we'll see anything like this since SE does like to keep the Semi-Human look like Mardel pointed out in one of her posts above, but you never know..yoship and the dev team might change their minds.

mog will not be a playable race, forget it people.

about gria (even if i want to see them in game, can be fun) i doubt they can be related to ishgard, did you forget what they do to people that accused to be link to the dragon in anyway?
they toss them in a big hole, if they can fly (and gria have wing) they are shoot down by archer, if they can't... they die killed by the fall.

Ishgard hate dragon, as much as dragon hate them. don't hope for any dragon-like race near ishgard it will be really really really bad for the lore.

about viera versus miqo'te, they are both race from another game and the only thing in common is the fact that the are half beast and that all. Viera are calm and elegant when miqo'te are more rough and...lively hehe. Viera are closer of the elezen actually than miqo'te in the manner to be.

finally they have said that they will add new race more closer of the human, don't hope for the bangaa for now.


ps: about why a new race will appear? eorzea is a land where people migrate from the other continent. they can simply say, this race come ilsabard fleeing trouble in the empire with all the succession plot that about to begin. or simply wanting to be free from the empire, Eorzea have already push back the empire 2 times by the past.
