Burmecians: The race we will never get.

While I would welcome more races but they should focus on Viera and Hroth and as someone else pointed, diluting the glams to more races would take more time to develop, so the quality would drop catering to many races at once.

More races the better

If all we get are variations of "humans" (with rabbit ear, dragon horns, etc)... I'm fine with the races we have, and instead would vouch for more customization options for them and a definitive fix to the viera/hroth hat situation.

I'd love to see more distinctiveness with a potential new race, but if the compromise is not having a certain item available, like hats because of tall ears, or pants because of a bulky tail, I wouldn't.

You want more lack of hats? This is how you get more lack of hats

Oh man. I'd purchase fantasias for several of my alts just for that.

So Burmecians would be completely redundant (to say nothing of Yoshi already drawing the line at adding any new playable races now - hrothgar and viera were the last).

Respectfully speaking, the whole Qiqirn thing is a weak argument when you take into account we have two feline races. The neko-esque Miqote and the Hrothgar. Burmecians are far more proportionately human-like. As much as I’d love to see them in game, time and resource is the main issue. But I would not give up on the idea.

Given the low population of the other "beast" races Roe and Hroth I doubt we would get anything that isn't cute human type if we do get anything.

We should complete the incomplete races first but if Burmecians ever did become a thing I would hope they kept the digitigrade feet.

While I dont mind adding more races, its an exhausting use of resources for the developers. If they add Burmecians, then folks will beg for Lupin, Bangaa, Seeq, races like whatever the heck Quina & Amarant are, and other Final Fantasy-specific races we dont currently have playable or in game yet.

If we must add more things, I'd rather they added more face options, or even hybrid options for existing races. [akin to Hilda, etc]
