Flans - a race that nobody talks about but everyone wants.

Let's face it. Flans are in Final Fantasy since 1987. It's game staple. You cannot ignore their existence. This is why it's time finnaly include them in game as playable race.

I know somebody ask "But Gaido, how they would look?". So I made this full effort, professional conceptarts for some jobs, so you know:

Most important. They are gender fluid so you have obligatory tokenization for western audience done. Isn't life beautifull?

I know that some developer will say "Gaido. It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life (and I'm 49 years old). What do you want for it?"

And I say. Nothing. Final Fantasy is love. Final Fantasy is life.

Love the jab at western gender fluidity :D

made my day.

I still we could get some kind of PvP mode akin to the Monstrosity shenanigans in XI so we can go on a rampage as an actual monster instead of just copying them with BLU.

They can wear hat but cant wear shoes and pants..... that is interesting.......

You know what? I actually wouldn't be mad if they did this.

Oh god, I’m dying of laughter right now! I love this. You deserve a crown for creating such a masterpiece of a post! +1

You did these? I am so impressed! They absolutely are professional level work.

That art is amazing lol

This is an amazing idea lmao
I didn't know I wanted this till now

Pudding race sounds tempting...

A Flan Monk would be so amazing to play!

They can wear hats (all vieras and hrothgars are triggered).

You get a green light and a bump for the Gender fluidity statement and your concept art. God speed, you magnificent bastard!!!

/salute

Give them jiggle physics and it's a 10/10 idea.

...You guys don't want to know what Rule 34 has to say on this topic...

That being said, would it be accurate to make us divide into smaller mini-us versions when we get to a certain HP threshold? Just have a swarm of cute little mini Warriors of Flan going around.

Psh. Who needs pants anyway?

As per the OP, I support this 100%. This post made my day. Although I do have a concern about how their mounts would work.

Don't let perverts and idiots ruin something for you. Let the IP ruin itself like god intended!

I think you mean "ungendered fluid".

Anyone who needs to be made to feel better about queer existence by "jabbing" at them is a small-minded coward. Virtually every fluid/nonbinary person I know is quite intelligent and frankly a badass.

Bro I wish T_T But then I googled "Ditto" on Google Images years ago and it made me crave for brain bleach. It's worse than Gardevoir!

Thank you everybody for very warm and nice messages. You are great <3

Good question. After long discussions with my teddy turtle we thought that these, little traditional option of mounting a mount at his back will be appreciated by Super Mario Kart players. So it will looks like somewhat like that:

Sad thing. You can ride your mount no longer than 30 seconds. After that time, your flanly Warrior of Light will melt to the ground. Then you need go back and collect your leftovers. This is price of beeing faboulus.

I can easily see a short comic describing the tough adjustment to adventurer life as a Flan. I absolutely love the concept art for the races lol

Not only that, but the left one also has ears! haha What is this wizardry?

not a flan tbh

We have playable potatoes, I don't see a problem in having playable flans.

"Join my OnlyFlans for pics taken with the 2B pants."

Guys! Guys! I can't believe in this! It's happening!

I'm bumping this thread because it's fun and creative, and we desperately need that here on the general forums

I don't. I'm gender fluid, and it came off offensive.

Can we stop with jokes about peoples gender identity. Thanks.

Pretty funny, but unironically this game has way too many animal races. Every major city looks like a furry convention

I have some ideas, and it sound like cool experience so I started working on it. I wrote the script and started drawing. It's nothing big, and I'm just amateur. It will be only one chapter of story about how flans became a Warriors of Light. But with my schedule (work + school) most likely I finish this at the end of June/ beginning of July.

This is first page:

https://imageup.me/images/461b7eef-7...a8db6935a9.png

I'll be happy to share with you, when it will be done. I have question, because some of you for sure know better: where is best place to upload your comic/manga?

99.9% of people would read them as male, which yep.
Would make them '' gender fluid/ neutral '' according to Western devs and Redditors lol.
