Would you like to play "Padjal" race?

which is why I am against it

I'd .. like to play a Padjal..

But I don't really see it happening. Thematically speaking Padjal seem to be extremely rare occurrences and Gridanian culture very careful about what happens to them. It'd.. well, hurt the setting too much to change that in my opinion. That aside they're inherently more powerful than your average adventurer too I believe, so..

I guess not, in the end, no.

No thx!
Its almost like asking for being the sultan/king of uldah or admiral of limsa lominsa.
Padjal arent even a real race. they are chosen children by the forest which never age.

But than again it wouldn't really stray too far from our current lineup of Humans, Little Humans, Big Humans, and Humans with Cat Ears. It's a common problem that far too many MMOs share, every race is just a slight mod of a Human, and its saddening, especially when you see the possibilities in a game like Tera where you have choices from Rock People to Pandas, Char in GW2, or Ferres from ArcheAge, there are so many ways of making races unique, XIV's and XI's way of doing it has always bothered me a little, it feels cheap and uninspired.

The Padjal are pretty great and would be interesting to play as... but I do agree, I would like them to stick with the lore here (though of course, things could drastically change with 2.0's storyline). Still, I too would love to see XIV give us a more in-human race to play as for characters.

For the record, I'd reroll to play as a goblin complete with a /bomb emote.

Humes with horns?

And you would like a complete animation set just for that?

No thanks. I'd rather them spending those resources on other stuff, maybe in some really different race.

Why would I want them to add a new human to the mix of already malformed line up we got? We already got cos-players I would rather like a real new race instead of just a horn wearing cos-player. They have this series of tactics games that had a nice line up of races that would have been nicer to see but hey we got humans of different sizes. Give me moogle back as a playable race. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I would not use them myself, but it would still be neat to see them playable.

I'm pretty sure SE intended this to be a playable race in the original designs, but got left out.

Over all I would very much like to play a horned race, but my only request, is being given more options for the horns (main distinguishing feature)

Mainly for an option to have forward facing horns.
Most MMO or games tend to limit female characters horns to backwards, straight up, downwards, or curled back.
But that's pretty much the only reason I have hopes to place as this race. (Also I like their height. not as small as lalas, but not as tall as miqote)
