"That's ammazzzinng!"

With the hot topic of new races and what not, I was wondering if we could play as, well, http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy...ngaa_races.JPG I know a few people, including my self would like some scales up in here. Of course they wouldn't be natives to Aldenard, probably somewhere in the east.

As I've noticed in FFXI and FFXIV every (playable) race looks pretty close to a human with few modifications, so, this could be the exception. I'm sure SE would also modify it to look more human, but either way, would be cool.

Sorry, Lizards are not dragons ^.^

Imho, Ivalice lore should stay in Ivalice games.

Agreed, Tactics and Vagrant Story take place in that world -- Don't think Eorzea is part of Ivalice lol. The world XIV takes place in is apparently very large, so there's a good possibility they can create brand new races for it, much like they "created" Mithra and Galka (among other races but they still appeared as humes) for FFXI's Vanadiel.

Don't see Eorzea in this time line :D

Maybe a Bangaa type race would be good... lizard persons of some kind.

I think dragons will be better than lizards anyway, Have Yoshi show some pics of dragons and demi human Bay!

I'd be okay with some sort of reptilian race.
They just gotta be careful with how diffirent they design them. You could run the risk of making it more 'special' than the other races.

That is true, well, i don't really care about that, I wont be one, but I know people will be like "SOMETH SOMETHING SOMETHING WHY DAY HAVE THAT? WE DON"T"

Bangaas are fantastic, but I do agree, they are suited for Ivalice. However, I do hope SE will create an actual non-human looking race for us down the line!

As much as I am a fan of everything Ivalice. I think the races ought to remain in that world.

Then again, the ones we have now are wholesale copies of the FFXI races with some modifications so it's not like there isn't prescient for it.

I really hope the next FF MMO is set in Ivalice though. For as much as Tanaka risked alieanating people with the radical direction he took this game, he sure played it safe with the races.

I've long thought that players who saw the FFXI races in FFXIV were expecting a polished up version of the former. Once they realized it was neither polished, nor did it keep anything people liked about FFXI, all hell broke lose.

If FFXIV had it's own races, expectations might have been far different and the push to turn FFXIV into FFXI+3 might never have happened.

Of course, it didn't help that at the same time FFXI shot itself in the foot with Abyssea

They look too much like Jar Jar Binks

They don't have to be bangaas they could be something else, you know ffxiv twist, as I said, most races look like humans with a few modifications. Sooo, I really wouldn't focus to much on the bangaas but the "lizardy" part of em
