Would you prefer a new race or a new job?

If, due to budget limitations, devs could create only one race OR one job for new expansion, what whould you prefer? You have to choose blindly without knowing what a new race or job are.

Job.
Because what they could come with on a new race? A humanoid with wings or with rat tail? There is no more room for it anymore.
And the job is actually the thing that could benefit everyone and everyone could try it out, it would be nice to have a another healer class for instance.

I think we need a new race and new jobs. We should get both in the next xpac I would hope. I personally was disappointed we didn't get a new race this time around. I would think it's pretty likely we'll get one next time.

Job of course. Nothing really changes with a new race. It's just cosmetic. If we were to get a new starting city where that race is quite widespread I would say race. But that's kinda not possible. So I would say new job.

Give me the Viera and I'll be happy!

a new job is more fun o.o/

even for people who don't intend to use the new job, they still have to work with this job together and maybe it has some utility and it will make gameplay more varied.

Job, imo we don't need a new race, i would prefer more stories/housing/clothes/emotes/character options about races we already have and learn more about them.

We have already all classical types, huge, tiny, standard, beasts, cute, muscular.

I'd love a playable beast race that isn't just a human with animal parts attached. We all know it isn't going to happen though, so I'd say a new job.

Job, we dont need another race...

Maybe race. Only because female Au'ra is the only one without same height range for male in any of the race. Let's be honest their wedding videos are awful.

More freestyle dancing dungeons better than any job they can produce. The alternative would be to remove tank jobs, too much ballet.

If there was only an option for 1, then race, since new jobs = more balancing issues. If they were to make a race, I rather they please the community and finaly give them Ivalice Viera or introduce a race that is not a hyur with animal ears.

I would really like a dual class to be implemented, much like the summoner/scholar. Something that doesn't require additional leveling but has different responsibilities/role than your main.

If it's a race I'd like, then a new race. Otherwise a new job. Since this is a blind choice I'd go for a new race.

While a new job would be interesting, there would probably be balance issues arising from the job being too similar or too different from other jobs. Gear distribution could also be problematic. Also the chance that it would be a shapeshifter or a beast tamer is slim.

I was excited about that Dancer class people were guessing before SB. But new race would be nice, probably it would be Viera if anything else. Tired of looking at my character even I jump between miqote and hyur.

A new job.

If the race is nothing bestial, I want nothing to do with it. Moe races are garbage.

Job.
While getting a new race would be nice, a new job has the potential to add new gameplay.

Job.

Beast Master.

New Jobs.
It'll be problematic for the devs to add more races when it comes to adding new gear, animations, Jobs, etc.

If it's a Race: Golem
If it's a job: Sword Saint

Give us a new Race Bunny girl pls !

I think a lot of you are ignoring the OP's post when you are saying they should add a specific job or race... =w=

Job.

Adds gameplay elements, creates new compositions, etc.

If I had to choose either a job or a race blind with no way to know which race or job would be added I'd choose neither. Spend all the time developing the story, dungeons, etc instead.

A new, unique healer job. For one, AST wasn't very unique. Two, nothing will ever best being a lala.

Job. We already have more than enough races.

I was going to say a race that's based on the kitsune in japanese mythology but people would hate that because of that last part... but I would still want it...

Job. More gameplay, no new character creation or fantasia pot needed.

Job, I'm fine with the race choices (though creation options OF those races could be better).

I'd want a new race if it's viera.

Well, we got... after the initial release of the game:

SMN/SCH, NIN, DRK, AST, MCH, SAM, RDM

and then au'ra, and the sad world of being worse than their concept art.

I'd rather have another race, one that'd ideally not make the women tiny and cute when their counterparts and tall, big, spiky and imposing.

Then a job the next time around.

Given how many races are essentially just Miqo'te sans ears, I really just want another job. Particularly a healer or tank.

Job

Frankly, I would prefer they had more customization options than focus on another race.

I would prefer they put some time into looks of the gear and not have it so ugly all the time. From ilvl 230 gear on been so ugly like they spent no time on looks of it. Only new gear liked so far is from shisui of the violet tides.

I'd rather get more jobs.

A magitek-based tank and non-DoM healer are what I'd want ideally.

Job. I wouldn't mind a new race but a new job brings more to that game.

Opinions aside, a new job is much easier to add than a new race in regards to lore. Best case scenario: a new race that just suddenly appeared is explained off by coming from some previously unknown land, or is some new mutation of existing races. New job though? Easy as saying someone took the time to discover, harness, and properly develop their mastery of said job. Red Mage is a pretty good example of this, because of a certain NPC we all know...

if its choosing blindly id say job.

Race
Its about time.

This.So.Much.

For me, I just don't see the point of having another race if I can't customize it further than what we have.

Agreed. At least if they gave all the existing races a respectable array of new faces, hair, misc. accents, etc then I think everyone would be at least pleased that they got something for their character.
