YoshiP said it depends on us. He also mentioned something at a previous fan fest

Long ago, during the Shadowbringer's fan fest series, YoshiP made mention of a possible lizardman race but backed away from it because Hrothgar was supposed to be the last. Now with YoshiP saying it's up to us now, I'd like to ask for a true lizardman race. Please get this implemented. There's a great opportunity now with Dawntrail upcoming.

I actually want a race like Lupin. We already have 2 feline races.

If they're going to continue development of character creation and race options, something I'd like to see explored more would be new categories of existing races that have more distinct qualities, but still utilize the same model and animations. For example, adding in the option to be half-Elezen like Hilda and other possible mixed race options. I've always been interested in the concept of the Padjal, and while the ones we're familiar with in Gridania are kind of lore-locked, it could be possible to introduce an alternative community from a different location that have more flexibility in the lore to have our WoL's freedoms--basically people with horns and antlers.

I want a new small race that has a bit more to it than cuteness. Something to help contrast the stereotype of lalafells. We have no other short race. In the game, and as a real life short person, I’d love something that feels a bit more dignifying than just infantile dolls.

I mentioned this in another thread somewhere, but I had been casually jogging down ideas for a 'what if I made a Final Fantasy MMO' concept for no real reason other than for my own enjoyment. One of the races I'd go with to represent the "small and cute(ish)" archetype was going to be based on the elves from Radiata Stories called "Pixx."

Here's an image for reference. Dark elves are on the left, light elves are on the right. Males above and females below:

Basically, they'd be not as short as Lalafell or Tarutaru, but maybe around 3-4 feet tall or so, and would have a bit of a cyberpunk element to them. The reason for that was I imagined this theoretical Final Fantasy MMO would have different worlds based on the different elemental crystals, and each world would represent some of the different styles of Final Fantasy worlds we've seen, with the world of the Wind Crystal being inspired by FFXIII's future chic aesthetic, and Pixx would be most populated in this world.

Not opposed to this at all but I would rather they focus on giving us way more character customization options. There's been plenty of feedback on the matter in different threads so hopefully they take it into account.

M, and F versions of any new races that get released HAVE to be released together. No more of these awkward split releases. Please release them when they are finished.

Yes, I'd really like something like the Worgen from world of warcraft. I'd race change in a heartbeat.

Hrothgar and Viera were supposed to be gender locked races, one male and one female, based on other FF races that for one had mostly male representant, and for the other, zero male of that race appearing. It made sense. Like how Roegadyn and Miqo'te were gender locked in 1.0. They added their other sex counterpart in 2.0 because of player outcry. Kinda ironic how 5 years later they did the same thing with the same results.

I would like to see the more demon and succubus Au Ra, they were cool. Wild clans might be an idea, well just new clans in general. Although at some point sliders would nice, like a body morph to make actual muscles not texture, or chubby, skinny, etc. Hunched hroth, not hunched.

We have enough tall races. I would be cool to get another short race. The moon bunnies would be cool to choose only after you beat 6.0.

I'd also put my vote to something like this as a race.

more races would be nice, but i hope you all dont forget it always comes with a cost.
arent there more important things they would have to finish before starting another workstation?
looking at viera and hrothgar hats and hairstyles for exemple.
graphic update wont be finished with 7.0.
two channel dyeing wont be finished with 7.0 either.
and then there are the wishes for more character creation ooptions overall.

and i'm still sad we wobt get old glowy trial weapons for new jobs... at least a few would be nice

I think you’re right, I hope they work on improving the open world a lot more. We don’t need more characters. I would rather see new open world designs or improved on. Our world are empty. We need meta events like Guild Wars 2. Their maps are still run daily and are fun.

Whatever is it should definitely be another beast race since there's currently only one race that isn't some variation of humans. My vote would be Ivalice Moogles since they're not far removed from Lalafells. Lupin would be amazing but they could never wear hats or use hairstyles ever and we've already been down that road.

It honestly might not be a popular sentiment, but I could live without hats and hair for a really high quality, playable Lupin race -- maybe allowing us to choose the shape of our fur fluff and a wide variety of ears to make up for it. Very grateful we're getting hats and hair for Viera and Hrothgar, but visually at least I would understand why those would be especially out of question for Lupin.


Have wondered for a while if WoW-style 'allied races' would give SE an excuse to make additional races with excusable limitations. Most of WoW's allied races are no more than reskins, but Vulpera and Kul Tirans are very different from the races they borrow assets from.

I agree with you I would love a half Elezen and always wanted that implemented. I also would loved to see the Padjal. I would love to see the CC updated as it is really limited but half Elezen/Padjal would be nice.

Yes there are Races already ingame that would be fun... Lupin or even some of the beast ones, or moogle lol.

But id still want some small race, some fey folk, or small furry stuff... id say Lizard but we already have Aura... but something like the Rito from the Legend of Zelda: https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Rito
-though id prefer the WW Variant, all of em would work for us.

Or something Mermaid like... for both you could make some extra Mount that just utilizes their natural ability to fly/swim...

We need another small race. And Lupin. How about small lupin?

Wolves, Birds or Deers. An Eagle race would be pretty cool tbh.

I would still really like big Au Ra women, but I have no idea how they could go about it since a disappointingly large % of people really like their current look, so replacing them is not an option... but introducing a race similar to them probably isn't either (even if you could argue Miqo'te and Hrothgar kind of step on each others' toes conceptually)

Same but the community at large has already proven it is unwilling to compromise on anything so there's no way the devs would ever endure that shitstorm again, and honestly I can't blame them.

I want the graphics team to focus on improved character customization first, but I'm very happy to hear the door on potential new races hasn't been closed.
I'm not going to say I'm against the inclusion of a lizard race, although it seems like au ra more or less fits that bill, but I'd prefer a small race to be added instead. Probably around the height of lalafells, or perhaps slightly taller. It could be like a small furry creature... maybe with fox like features? I think that would be neat.
