As I mentioned in another thread, my reasoning for it is because Ivalice moogles (And FFVI/FFIX moogles) are the only type I could see using a wide variety of weapons and armor. They could be another clan of moogle.

I voted for mammilian. A gnoll race would be awesome.
If I could play as a Final Fantasy Tactics Advance style moogle, It would be the best thing ever. >w<
Most pumped about mix races being half west indian/ half white myself. I wanna see a miqlala (coined it now) like a tiny cat person!
Vieras are a race the world's been waiting for to play or even play beside with on the battle field
Personally, solely based on Ivalice style, I like the concept that Viera's are stealthy and assasin-like. Also there was a lot of talk about lizard-men, and I really liked the Bangaa and Nu Mou.
I never cared too much to play any race other than Hume/Hyur so more variety would be nice. I would like to play as another race but all of the current ones just seem like mild variations of each other. Would at least add more flavor/variety to the game.
Moogle / Taru / Viera hybrids!

Viera > Miqote +287346812638612873681623
sorry but Miquote are NOT hot at all, they all look like preteen girls, only hot to pedobears....Viera are smokin hot haawt HOOOOOOooot $WOMEN$ with curves.
I'd support a bill to abolish miqote and magically turn them all into Viera (as this game should have been set on Ivalice anyway :P )
In fact I'd suppport a bill to magically teleport the entire population of Erozea to Ivalice in 2.0 and have Eorzea explode in a flaming ball of suckage.
Lala will magically turn into Moogles of Ivalice, Roegadyn will be Bangas, Hyur will be hume, Miqote will be Viera....everything will cease to suck.
Your all a bunch of furries!
Would be cool to have Bangaa walking around town.
If the poll question was to address a playable race, I would say bangaa. But I'm amusing it meant npc's and enemy monsters.
I picked tribes, I would rather more variations on what we have and will be added with 2.0, but I support ANYTHING EXCEPT demons and lizards...
Hmmm, actually, I selected reptilian demi-humans only for the sake of variety. I really like the idea of more tribes, though. Even though I usually support mammalian demi-humans, we already have the Miqo'te. Maybe other tribes of Miqo'te could have bunny ears and tails to quell everyone's preferences? Anyways, I think reptilian demi-humans would be nice, way nicer than beastman, anyways. And I guess it could easily fit in Garlean's domains, or even be related to Gridania's seedseers?
Anyways, whatever they decide, more options are always nicer than less of them.
I would love to see more Beast Tribes, But I dont wanna see more Beast Tribes in the Current Areas. So unless SE is intending to Open up more New Zones, I'd rather they just release the ones like Sahaigin into a Combat State.
To the same effect, I don't see the point of adding more Races unless your planning to release more cities.
To those who oppose mixed races like lalafell-miqo´te, lalafell-anything than isn´t another Lalafell, just think that it could be much more worse.
Don´t believe me? Take a look at this http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Crystal...inglogcomp.gif
Now it doesn´t look that bad, uh?
Anywany back to topic, I don´t really support the idea of viera as a new race. Don´t get me wrong, I think Vieras are cool I really like them, but they are from Ivalice and I would prefer not to start fusing words, althought SE already said that they want to implement things from others FF worlds so, how knows....
But still, having miqo´tes already, another race so similar is a little of waste, you know, in my opinion. I would greatly prefer if they gave us more option for the races we have and being able to play as a mixed race would add a lot to this.
New races like lizard men and more beast like races would be cool too, variety is always good.
But if people want Vieras, well, let it be that way. I was going to stick with my beloved, super special awesome Lalafell anyway ^^
Mixing races would make most sense, creates variety without butchering lore and magically creating races that werent there before or trying to act like they suddenly migrated from another place.
I found it hard to believe in FFXI and FFXIV we live in a world peacefully coexisting with several other races and the one and only mixed person was Lilisette from wings of the goddess(she looked great by the way). I would love to see more design of mixed races.
Blasphamy!!!!! Miqote are nothing like Viera in anyway other than being animal girls with ear from mammals and other animal like features that retain the female form of.....
....
....
Well anyway Viera are better!!!!! I am not sure why but we need them sexy mamma's
I feel like rabbit girls would be too close to cat girls...but a lizard race could be cool.
I would totally play a Gria-style race (From FFTA2) though! Dragonkin!

I think they should just add all the options they listed as playable races. I wanted to be a Viera from the beginning, and tried to make my Miqo'te look like one as much as possible, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love to see people playing other demi-humans, or beastmen, or some lizard-race. Everyone should be able to get something they like.
There's already enough cuteness in this game. Bring on the wolfmen and demonic races, I say.
could you guys stop playing the idiotic "you like lalas you must be a pedo" card for gods sake...
were not in the goddamn TERA forums...
Less character models for the developers to make armour for...the better IMHO we have a good balance as it is.
Part of the problem is that they're animated so cutely and we rarely ever hear them speak. But the minute that you hear Papalymo open his mouth, that misconception that Lalafell are sweet and childlike goes out the window.
Just like how Gnomes in WoW are small and childlike, but their crazy laughs and voices make them anything but cute. They're all like little mad scientists.
This game seriously needs more voiceovers. >.<
Cactuars!!
Ok there's a big misunderstanding going on. (As usual in these forums <3)
No one is saying anyone who likes Lalafell/is a Lalafell is a pedo. (If anyone says that, then they're trolling and/or idiots.)
The only reason the subject of pedo-ness came up is because of cross-species breeding. Since Lalafell look very child-like to other races besides the Lalafell, the implications for cross-species breeding are disturbing because of the pedo aspect.
To be clear, it's just the IMPLICATIONS of it that are disturbing. The implications only exist in our minds and possibly parts of the game lore. The actual RESULTS, cute hybrids of Lalafells and other races could be awesome and not disturbing at all. I support mixed races in FFXIV :)
Just gonna say never make the bunny angry.
fron goes berserk
They should just add all of them...except that mixed thing is a bit odd. The other thing they need is give us more customization options. I would really like to adjust my bust/waist/height...I don't want to have to pick a specific race just to have "curves" or whatever.
I liked all the choices personally, I think it would make the game way more diverse if we had a bunch of different races to play as. I chose the demon-ish race with horns in the poll, but I would really love to see the mixed races added too. Miqotelala would be interesting to see lol. When I first saw the mixed races thing I immediately thought of this lol XD.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...e/GIFs/757.gif
Awww, ain´t it just the cutest thing ever?
Really? I found it to be one of the most pausible and reasonables option. Even the Lore confirm that is possible and SPOILERS OF THE ULDAH MAIN STORY: Weren´t those two Lalafell brothers (I can´t remember the name sorry) proposing to a female Miqo´te ? END OF THE SPOILERSQuote:

I think mixed races sound good. Anyway, as I said before, a lot more of variety would be nice, demon like, lizard like, whatever would be cool.
And it will make sense on 2.0, if the 7th Umbra Era finally come, Eorzea , or even the entire world will change, beastmen could end allied with human and if the population is low, intercross realtionships could become more common because of the necesitty of procreation or the lack of a mate of the same species in one specific place. Now if mixed races are added, will be they be fertile or not ?. I think this is important fact of Lore we should know.
I'm against the mixed race characters. I'd prefer it if the species kept their own distinct characteristics. Too much mix and match of the abilities made a lot of the classes feel too samey, I don't want this to happen to our characters as well.
First was going to choose the Viera-like creatures. But then I saw the mixed race, and was like :O that'd be awesome. Imagining a Lala-miqo as a tiny person with cat ears and tail. <3 Some could get interesting though, Elezen-Roegadyn o.o; Would be fun to play. ^^ Though they'll probably be just NPCs, since assuming the people at 2.0 wouldn't get to choose this race.
As to why so many people were talking about adding a playable viera is beyond me. :/Quote:
Mammalian demi-beastmen (ex. a rabbit-eared race such as the Viera from FFXII etc.)
I like this idea. Having voted for Viera, I would prefer to have Miqo'te replaced by them rather than coexist with them. It would be awesome to have the Bangaas, as well, and Ivalice Moogles trump Lalafell any day of the week. Don't see it happening as that would require a complete rewrite of the entire game's lore, but it's nice to hope.
I've got a sneaking suspicion that beastmen/mixed-races will win the poll, anyways :P
