[POLL] Which new races would you like the most for FFXIV [2.0.]

Just gonna point out we have Qiqirns; so I doubt Cleyrans/Burmecians will be a viable option, no need for 2 rat races.

Oh man Ronso, Bangaa and Burmecian are all close in my book. Viera are too much like miqo, i hope they are not added.

eeeeww.. thats really awful if i imagine that.
thats way too kitschy anime like (and in 3D? eew)

this would destroy the FFXIV immersion.


did yoshida mentioned how many new races they are going to implement? besides female/male versions of the existing one.




to mix up two races is not very exiting (because they are already in the game..)

a miqote/lala mix? would look like the same size of a lalafell with a tail and ears of a miqote.. well ok... and if these races stand next to each other you would say "well it looks almost like a lala with a tail and cat ears on it"...

i dont think that we need this. it would just look like a bad copy of a lalafell.

You seem to attack what someone else thinks is cool (namely Gria) stating that it would ruin the FFXIV immersion and that their opinion on what looks cool is tasteless. It would definitely not ruin the FFXIV immersion; it would ruin your immersion. The argument of immersion really has no point in being used for a fantasy game anyways. If it was, I could say that the existence of Guado in FFXIV would ruin the FFXIV immersion.

I also don't think the Gria's wings are devil/bat wings. The Gria seem to me more of FFTA2's take on the dragonkin race, so the wings are more likely to be dragon wings. Here are some reasons why I feel this way:
1. In anime, it is quite common for girls with devil/bat wings to also have a long, slender tail with an arrow at the end. The Gria have a short, thick tail without an arrow at the end.
2. The Gria's wings are not torn.
Before you say "But I don't see any scales", I'm just going to point out that most Bangaa models in FFTA2 don't show scales and look more like dogs with a long snout and 4 ears.

That's right! Gria are a draconian race. All female dragon girl power baby!!! Bat/debil wings.. Pft!!!

I thought the Guado where also in VIII or something similar

Your! arm lengths are retarted...

don't really want to see spillage of ivalice lore into this game. keep ivalice ivalice and eorzea eorzea

don't really know what they should add though. somehow seems like lizardmen would round out the roster of races but at the same time wouldn't fit

Choice 1- No thanks, while cool in FFX we already have a cat based race. NO MORE CATS (sorry to all cat lovers but as a dog lover living with three cats lovers who's cats all peed my last house to ruin I have no particular fondness for the little fuzz rodents)

Choice 2- Maybe... I am ok if the do or don't I really don't care.

Choice 3- YES PLEASE! I liked these guys in FFXII and was disappointed that none could join your party. Not sure if I would play as one but I would love to see them.

Choice 4-Won't happen. They are a part of the world lore and are meant to stay as just that. If there were lots of these guys then they wouldn't really fit the role they are meant to, especially when they are supposed to be above the ability of adventures.

Choice 5- NOOO Thanks. Even more so than choice 1. I think we already have enough "basically human" races in this game. I mean really Miqo'te and Lalafell are the only ones that really don't just feel like a human ripoff. Especially since this race could be created by anyone if given the right tattoos and hair in character creation

Choice 6- Out of all the races presented this is by far the one I hope to see the most. I have been waiting forever for a mmo (or just game in general) that gave me a good full mammalian beast race, that isn't a cat or an over muscled hulk. They are the most unique of the races presented as they don't share any kind of theme with any of the preexisting races and all together have a different feel to them that could bring great possibility for characters (both player and NPC) in the future.

I've wanted to play a Qiqirn since XI. I'd be down for playable Qiqirn; they're already in-world so no need for crazy retcons to explain their showing up, either.

Ronso were blue magic users, right? Might be a good way to introduce that job.
