I know the Devs don't want to add any more Playable Races, but I REALLY dig Loporitts

I'm a fully-grown man who is STILL in my edgy "Linkin Park" phase, I just switched fro Dark Knight main to now Reaper, and I deliberately chose my Xaela's appearance to truly look like an "otherworldly, Warrior of Darkness".

And yet, the Loporitts are now quite possibly my favorite race. I don't normally like things that TRY to be "cute", but they just totally work. Moreover, however, there's something about them that ACTUALLY feels quite "magical".

I'm personally hoping we might see a "Mystic Knight" sometime -- kind of an inverse of the Red Mage, being more melee-oriented and using Lunar-based bagic -- and at the very least, I feel like it could have some connection to the Loporitts. But even as a melee job, I feel like you could justify them as wielding SOME form of "magic".

Fat chance, for sure, but I would most certainly dig playing a Loporitt.

We do need one more small race to even things out, so why not. :3

Can we not. Enough is actually enough, because we are already getting less and less gear now. When female hrothgar get introduced I expect even more pieces to start getting cut.

No..................

Not a fan. Loporrits are cute and all... but I personally wouldn't want them to be playable. For now, they should just fill in the female Hrothgar spot and the current races we have should be the end of races introduced into FFXIV. I'd much rather them shift resources to the current races we have and improving their current customization rather than keep adding random new races and ignoring the big issues in customization that we have right now. So, no Loporrits, if you want to play a small race we have Lalafells, and there are plenty of mascot heads to put on them in the meantime.

I'd rather not. I strongly dislike the idea of them getting all of the same Jobs and weaponskills as an actual character.

We don't need anymore races, lion boys and viera are already gimped, don't need to stretch those devs anymore on another one

They won't add it even if they have resource to do it. One word: story.

Loporits are better than Lalafells and all Lalafells should be changed to Loporits. Change my mind.

The problem with this is anytime a dev blinks, someone says they should have been using that time they spent blinking to sit down and squat out another dungeon instead. SE can literally specifically hire a team SPECIFICALLY to do NOTHING but stand in a corner in his office and people will type up 30 page essays about how that team actually turned to the left once and how that turn single handedly cost them a savage. Like it's legit insane how true this is. True to the point of being pathetic.

So I can't see them doing anything else for races for a good time. They'll probably focus on content more now that they've given a ton of story. Not that that'll matter because no amount of content will ever satisfy the types who attack devs for not doing what they personally think the devs should be doing. It'll always be a case of armchair CEO's imaginarily hiring and firing workers that they've convinced themselves in their delusions of grandeur MUST be there for the purposes that they've created and nothing else. And yet they'll try anyway. They'll try and fail and then go back to telling us more story. and as we fight in the stories they've imagined, hroths and rabbits still won't have their hats. Hroths still won't be able to change their wigs without paying up. Etc etc.

But can I see this happening later LATER down the line? Like maybe 3 years from now? Yes, absolutely. If you think about their role now, it wouldnt be too far fetched for them to become playable eventually.

Honestly felt most of the story segments they participated in were actively lesser for it, i'd really rather not see them become a mainstay.

I'd rather they finish Viera/Hrothgar and expand/enhance the old races. Besides, we already have rabbit people, anyway.

I would prefer lalas to be removed(because they're creepy) and be replaced with Loporitts.

Yeah I can just imagine making a new loporrit character, and you start out on the chocobo cart with the merchant, riding to Ul'dah, several years before any of your people have set foot on the planet within the game's storyline...

No. Not worth the resources, wouldn't make sense, would overexpose them and make them go from cute to irritating, no thanks.

Although they did say no more races, they also mentioned how the big thing that allowed them to even consider Male Viera or Female Hrothgar at this point is how they focused on 1 model at a time, which made adding them possible. Small races like Lalafells basically share 1 model for both males and females, so it is not unreasonable to request 1 small race since it is within the realm of things they can do.

Lore wise can't happen. Ask SE to add another furry suit if anything.

They're already overextended by adding the two remaining genders, and we only got them because team members volunteered their time to do extra work. Yoshida will not allow another race because it will overtax the equipment assets team. Even if they were to go the lazy route of reusing existing body/rigging, it wouldn't be loporrits because they violate the lore, same as we're never getting Garleans because they can't be most of the jobs.

Every expansion, we get so many interesting races under "beast tribe" category
and yet all we got were vierra and hroth

Male bunny should have been Loporitts

Do you want all of the limitations of Viera at one-eighth the size?

Yup, we should have gotten another short race.

How much effort would it be to put fur and rabbit ears on lalafell?

It's not gonna happen, Loporrits were created by Hydaelyn

Must admit I find the idea of one of the furry lil shites wielding a great-sword or a scythe rather amusing

I'm 100% on board for Loporitts being a playable race. I wouldn't even care if they had limited-to-no customization options, they're just so cute and expressive. :D

Do they reproduce? It's implied that they're made in those tanks. But then one makes a "your mother" joke at another in one of the 90 dungeons.....

No, after Fem-Hrothgar id rather they focused on doing the backened stuff and whatever they can to update current races and such~
We already got more than enough races.

I would rather they fix the 3 soon to be 4 unfinished races first before they take on any more.

Thing is at the very least for body type not features everyone has options. If you want to play a small race you only have one. At the very least everyone else is feature limited smol options are limited in both feature and options.

Which is why bunny males should have been them.

My point still stands. If you want limited half finished stuff Blizzard is always there for you. Don't be happy with limited.

Damn, it always comes back to Blizzard. If I didn't know any better I'd assume it's hiding underneath everyone's beds and closets like the Boogeyman.

I wanted the small critter race for a while, but we currently have 3 (next expansion 4) unfinished races who can't not wear 99% of the hats or hairstyles.

Let's first fix what we have and then look towards adding new races.

No it's called an example. I've had to deal with one useless company handing out unfinished products to a moronic playerbase that is ok with subpar products. I don't want to except another one. Have higher standards for something you pay for.

I think best chance we have is fashion items that let you 'glamour' into beast tribes for a little bit. Wont be able to fight, but would still have the fun of running around as a rabbit or namazu.

At this point I have had it up to here with everyone constantly bringing up Blizzard's transgressions and/or accomplishments. Both sides of the equation are equally annoying to me. Opening a single thread on this board is like walking through a minefield because everything will always lead back to Blizzard in some way, shape or form, and I hate it. I'm honestly glad I've never played WoW, if only because it will never live rent-free in my head like some of y'all.

The only thing I can get behind is taking a few ideas from WoW, improving upon them or giving them a unique FFXIV spin. The game had to be as popular as it was for a reason, and FFXIV did take inspiration from WoW when it was rebuilt.

Again make it right the first time or not at all. I don't care what examples you bring up they still released 3 about to be 4 unfinished races. If you don't care why should I any more. Give me half finished zones.
