Poll: IF.When XIV gets a new race (2 Parter)

Part 1
Part 2

*Note: Your answer to Poll #1 does not have to match Poll #2's or vice-versa. You may treat them as completely separate, if you'd like.
Also, the races in the parenthesis are just examples, not definitive answers. If there is a race you want and you think it fits that category, by all means choose it! ;-D *

Again, just for funsies. ♥

We need a mystical looking race.

Mystical Plantmen.

Sigh...I dont even know why I voted. Of course reptiles are never gonna get as much love as humanoid classes.

You voted Demi-beastmen. >w>

I still like the idea of an "Esper" race like Terra/Tina but only cus I assume that would be the only way to get a truly beast like race while also appealing to the human form for people. Though after that I would prefer something non-human or something that isn't just a human with patches of scales or cat ears.

Yeah. Viera falls into that category.

But you might get a Gria or Aegyl (humans with wings) instead. That's what Mimilu implied.

I picked the demi-humans aswell, I love Viera. I would like to see Gria's in the game aswell, but can you imagine Gria with a shield... the wings+shield clipping will be horrible.

Ok well when I voted demi-beastmen, my vote was really for viera.

Since I can only choose one of each, I chose Avian, and fierce.

We don't need a new playable race, ffxi was out for how long, and they never added a new playable race. So why do we need one every expansion? I never played any AAA mmo that released a new playable race every expansion, developers have to take time from making sure the existing and new content is as bug free as possible, and not give us ugly looking half bunny people.

Ivalice Moogles <3

Would honestly not even consider swapping from Lalafell for anything else.

I really had a hard time with this one lol, VERY good choices. Of course I chose Demi-Beastman at the end but I would gladly accept plant races. Theirs something fundmentally natural about them, could be that you have carnivorous plants and some that actually move over time but ost art I see related to suck races are always amazing. Wakfu included

Doll races threw me for a loop, thinking about mostly lore aside from they'd just be a interestingly creepy race. Doll joints, pseudo expressions, if they could walk in a jittery way that look unhuman that'd be a plus. The story of them would be like a doll maker created dolls all her life (maybe the hermit at outer lanoscea) and her dolls became reanimated with the elementals from gridania, taking refuge in the West Shrouds and some being helpers for Ala Mhigans. Struggling to adapt to human behaviors and life styles, even becoming adventurers. Yep, I pondered hard on it.

Now I'd happily take espers as well, but if they put them in here as a race I'd be kinda mad as It would pretty much scratch the idea of us ever using esper transformation powers ever. I'd take it, hands down, I'd just be out for blood on SE is all. :p

Mystical Plant-race, demi-plant would be good

Here are the current results:

1. Demi-Beastmen at 29% of the vote
2. Mixed Heritage Races at 21%
3. Mammalian Beastmen at 12%
4. Construct at 7%
5. "Special" Humanoids at 6%
6-7. Avian Beastmen and Reptilian/Aphibian Beastmen at 5% each
8. Something not listed at 4%
9-13. Aquatic Race, "Odd" Humanoid, Non-Humanoid, Insect/Crustacean/Arachnid Beastmen, and Fantasy Staples at 2% each
14. Plantman Race at 1%

Part 2 results:

1. Mystical at 24%
2. Elegant at 18%
3. Fierce at 17%
4. Seductive at 15%
5. Charming at 12%
6. Creepy at 5%
7-8. Simple and Humorous at 3% each
9. Grotesque at 2%

Half-elf, curious explorers that hold ties to no land or country with a mixed personality of both elegant and playful. I'm simple like that, but on the plus side it would be extremely easy for SE to add such a race. After all:

May hold spoilers for 3.0 and 4.0.

Not only is Hilda already a thing:

But we also have this shorter then what looks to be a Hyur male girl who also has ears shorter then a normal elezen, almost the same as Hilda's, from 4.0 gear concept art:http://www.gamespresso.com/wp-conten...8-1024x447.jpg

Please keep in mind: This is just what I want and I in no way oppose what other people might want as well. I am simply answering the question of what new race I would like to see.

P.S. won't let me vote, just keeps trying to make sure I'm not a bot endlessly.

Funny enough, Poll 1 is a LOT like what we had for 1.0 > 2.0, and again Demi-Human Mammal is getting skewed (partly/mostly) because of Viera...

And we still got Au Ra instead, so I might still get plant people even though i'm in the absolute minorest minority. (In the english speaking community that is).

Omg 100% agree but I voted demi-beast men aka viera

Did no one mention the most obvious new race we're going to get?

For some reason, I overlooked the mixed race option, or I would've voted for that one. In any case, it was hard at times to choose only one. :p

The only thing I would want is another large race that has animalistic aspects, eg. Ronso, I feel if they were to add another large race, it would need a "gimmick" to it, so either a variation of Roegadyn with tusks or Miqo/Roegadyn hybrid (though much closer to Lion than cat in appearance). I voted for Mammilian and Fierce, since I think those aspects work toward a Roegadyn/Miqo/Ronso-hybrid.

Goblin or Mamool plz ;P

Sadly SE didn't go with mixed-race heritage, since that was actually the second in the poll they had back in 1.0. They went with one of the less-wanted things. They really NEED to bring either mixed-race or a third clan to each race...
