Hello everyone today's topic is a free discussion on what you would like to see added to the game later this year or next. Ok so the topic is races, personally what race I would like to see added is the Viera race. Why? Well we could always use more humanoid beast races and the Viera woud make AWESOME Archers! :D

I'd never liked the viera, lorewise they've always seemed to be just as transparent as their clothing. Fan service is fine, but when fan service is almost all that you are...well, I just don't like that.
If I had a choice for a new race, from the existing FF race pool that is, I'd go for Burmecians. Diverse split cultures with plenty of room to build upon, with a more interesting model then just a human with different ears. While still retaining the humanoid figure so they're be viable to model. -

I know it's strange, but I'd like to have a character like Vivi from FFIX. He'd have one year as a THM/BLM, then "expire."

03-13-2014, 08:13 AMBakirakaIf by "more humanoid beast races" you mean, more humans with animal ears/tails... I wholeheartedly disagree, friend. We have more than enough furry-bait to go around already methinks.Quote:

How many times can you rehash 2 legs 2 arms. Make really small, make really big, add a tail change ears. It gets a bit boring.

I'd rather more diverse characters within the existing races.

I rather have a badonkadonk slider on existing races.

All I really want is a fox variant of Miqo'te :I
Is that lame? I dunno, I want what I want. Preferably 1 tail, ears facing forward. Probably not enough to justify it's own race, but they could just put it in as a Miqo'te option. Foxes > cats

You know you'll vote for it, the following will guarantee it...

03-13-2014, 03:48 PMChihayaThis, improve character creation, actually have slide bars for like eyes/nose/cheeks/mouth etc... and oh, more hairstyles (though, please no more iconic FF character hairstyles, but more twintails is welcome :D)Quote:

Not sure how the whole female thing would work out though.
If it went as Yoshi-P mentioned; "We might go back to gender exclusive races" due to the Male Viera issue, you could balance it out with something like this
Female: Viera
Male: Ronso
(But who knows if they'll do that or not /shrug) It'll be cool no matter what they add....I hope. -

Vieras are the only race I'm looking forward to. I'd make a male viera. in a heart beat.
She looks fierce, love the horns and the last outfit.

But sadly this would never happen imo because it simply doesn't make sense in terms of lore :C -

I want Goblins to be a playable race.
They're without a doubt the best race in Eorzea.
I'd swapsies much jinglyshine for a gobby gobby. -

as we know for 2.2. there is going to be at least a new NPC race from the far east with sloppy ears. so a bunny alike race like the viera seems to be possible.

no... seems to 99% much much unlikely to me. -
03-14-2014, 11:20 PMXanderOlivieriThey'd be as impossible as a Viera like or any non-human faced species as they'd have to remake helmets to fit them all anyway unless we get Doggie Kruger sundrome and all the snouts magically fit within the helmet.Quote:

i doubt we will see really far from the humanoid shape, Vangaa and Ronso will ask to change the boots and some part of the armor too much, will be a huge work, maybe for the second expansion, but so far it seems they have gone with another hybrid race for the First expansion.

Viera or bust. And while I say Viera, I don't entirely mean EXACTLY like how they were pictured in FFXII, just that I'd really like a race that has their look based upon the Viera. I loved Fran in 12, and I liked Viera as a race itself (even if the high-heels thing was... eh), but given the art I've seen of male Viera before, I can say those are more of my reason for wanting them. Male Viera is hng.
Other than that, a previous suggestion of a fox-type humanoid would also be fine. I like foxes, and I liked my fox Elin in TERA.
Baring that, a race like Freya's from FFIX would be cool too. Honestly the kokoroons we have in game already remind me of her in a way, so a race similar to her might not be that far-fetched.
