Would you prefer a new race or a new job?

If I can only choose one, definitely a new race. I might not play the new job, but I'll make characters from the new race for sure.

BLUE MAGE OR RIOT! (ノ°Д°）ノ︵ ┻━┻

New job. Race is definitely low on the list of new things I want.

honestly the concept art for viera was pretty exciting for me, i would have loved it even if i didn't already know what viera are.

problem with a lot of jobs is it seems like people just don't have any realization of FFXIV's combat limitations.

Blue Mage's blue magic would pretty much strictly be job quests to go learn them
a geomancer would have to have the same terrain skills for every trial/raid or it would be a weird back and forth power balancing struggle
a beastmaster would work I think, basically a melee summoner using handaxes and having maybe 3 or 4 pet summons for different situations
dancer is an interesting thought but PvP scholar is basically a ranged version of what a dancer would be
Alchemist is astro, they just changed the theme to fit ishgard
2 handed axes are taken but a berserker using giant clubs and hammers would be doable. We don't really have a brutish dps class it feels like


this whole expansion has felt super light on the character customization front to me. Viera and beastmaster as a patch like how ninja was would be a nice good faith gesture imo

It would depend a lot on the job and race in question, really.

If I had to pick blind, I'd pick job. The way Au Ra ended up put a big downer on the idea of new races.

If it's Viera, with one sub being FFXII's and the other being the cute small ones they designed, them. Otherwise, give me my Blue Mage and Chemist.

race since I think there are a lot of jobs now

For me it would be based more on what we would get then anything.

If the job is something I would like, and the race not, then I vote job.

If the race is something I would like, and the job not, then I vote race.

If both are something I don't care for, then I don't vote at all.

And if both are something I want then I would vote job since I would get more joy out of a job I would 100% love while doing content then a race I would only ever notice while idling in town.

Hellluuuuuu

i'd have to say job just because i don't wanna spend the cash or start a new character to change races.
