I want playable Mamool Ja.

That's the thread.
I want to be one of them.
Make them like Dracthyr from WoW with pre-made glamour or have them only being able to visually equip chest, I don't care.
thnx. <3

Fun idea, the big issue is just how the development team handles races. The idea sounds impossible in the current way the game is handled, but if the game actually had more resources, it wouldn't even seem so far-fetched.

Granted. You get mamool ja as a playable race, but they can't wear any armour beside the default racial gear because this is the same company that still can't give viera and Hrothgar hats 5 years later.

Not before playable viangaa.

I really wish they had put some more work into what outfits the Mamool Ja NPCs got. At minimum there should have been Landsguard uniform variants for them – it just seemed odd, design-wise, to have the human guards in full special armour but the Mamool Ja guards in the same basic armour as the civilians. Surely it wouldn't be too much work to just take the shoulder-cape part of the uniforms and modify it for them?

The next beast tribe is Mamool Ja.

Beast tribes have often let us dress as them in the past.

We've not had them let us dress as them since Stormblood, although they let us craft Drawf gear, dress with Pixie wings, dress as an Elephant (almost an Arkasodara) and loot Pelupelu gear by unrelated means.

Mamool Ja would be great! But they need to not half-ass them like make sure masc, and fem versions are available, and make sure gear works on them.

I mean they can't even make most headgear work on viera/hrothgar.

I think they need to stick to human like races anyway, because it's that choice that allows them to have more interesting clothing with custom models, and glamours are a more flexible medium of self expression than race choice.

Look at wow: one of the reason gear is visually so limited there is because of the extremely varied character morphologies. That's why most gear in wow is just texture replacement, and when they do custom models for gear pieces they have to make a version for each race and because thay’s expensive they aggressively retexture/recolor those same models to make more gear.

So, another race where the dudes are monstrous and the women are just...humans with animal ears and a weird face?

Sorry, I come across people meaning the wildest things earnestly that I honestly can't tell what's supposed to be a joke anymore. We certainly live in interesting times.

there already are female Mamool Ja in the game (only as of DT, admittedly), though they look... they at least look like the same species, but the devs still tried to make them look distinctly softer than the males to... mixed results, at least in my opinion

It would be neat but they would need to make glams for them too. I would create a Mamool Ja alt if they made armor like Thel 'Vadam's from Halo.

I would actually like this. I always personally wanted to play as a Bangaa after learning a little bit about how they were Dragoons in FF: Tactics.

Once the Viera and Hrothgar hat problem is hopefully taken care of, I hope the dev team experiments with making actual limited beast tribe races playable.

Also of Mamool Ja ever become playable, then I demand Scarface Bakool Ja's sacred hot springs dance becomes an emote. Let us see what the actual dance is, dammit!!!! xD

They have limited jobs, right? Why not limited race? I could see it working.
For character creation: choose your clan (Hoobigo/Boonewa, because rip Doppro representation), gender, height, scale tone, etc. Then you get a number outfits to choose from regardless of gear (think perma-glamour, basically), work changing the outfits into the aesthetician because it keeps that minor gil sink working.

I don't think it would be very popular as an option, but I would 100% play as Mamool Ja even with limited options. It seems silly that we have an expansion with prominent Mamool Ja characters and we can't play as one.

Honestly, failing what I've written above, I hope this will be an option. I want to play as Mamool Ja.

I want playable classes.

The best part is that Mamool Ja models are already in the game and some already use familiar emotes. If they released it in a limited capacity, they wouldn't have to do much extra work, unlike all the missing hats for Hrothgar and Viera.
Devs said long ago if we wanted more playable races to post about it :D thus here we are!
