I have 1 problem with FF14 races.

We have a bunny race, we have 2 cat races. Why do we have no dog race?? I wish so badly I could be a dog girl in FF14.

This has been bugging me ever since we got the 2nd cat race!

You don't want to be a dog girl. They have a horrible stereotype/stigma from the twitter gposers, arguably worse than miqo'te somehow. It's like the female version of male aura/emo bunboi. walking red flag territory.

There are enough vtuber/anime girl/boy with animal ears in the game already.

Well, now is your chance to rally the forums and in-game community to fulfil your wish.

Roegadyn are dog-coded enough to fill the role.

Would love more of it tho, come exploring our native culture.

Tug-rope please? 8P

Roe dont feel "dog-like" to me at all. That said though. We have lupin in this game.. I always wondered why they didnt make them a playable race well before Hrothgar was conceived...

I would love a dog/wolf/fox race though. Sign me up!

Yesss a Fox race!

I wondered the same!!

Hrothgar are not cats. I know this because the Palico doesn't tell them to look in a mirror during the Rathalos crossover quest.
So, we have 3 Humans Big, small and slightly bigger than there is the Fantasy Elf and Fae folklore Elf followed by the Cat, Lizard, unfinished Bunny and extremely badly implemented unfinished mess.

Been a rough day wanted to vent a little by using Hrothgars poor implementation.

Still, I have a friend who really liked the Lupin so if Hrothgar was more canine than feline, she may have made her alt one.

When we get customization updates just give miqo'te dog ears (they already have a dog tail) as an option
Problem solved

Just buy the werewolf set from the cash shop, wear the ears, and now you've reached true inner peace for only $5 and we don't need a new race if you just want to change the shape of the ears too.

We need a second short race as a choice aside from Lalafell before we get a fifth race that's animal-coded in some way as their gimmick.

Please keep your kinks in private.

The fact Lupin weren't the added after stormblood shocked me ngl

They are cats, just because you don't like them doesn't mean they aren't.

I'd rather wolf girls, Dog girls would get droopy ears. I like perky ears.

Probably going to be an issue with older hats that still have ear holes/ear...pockets?
The new hats all cut off our ears anyway so it doesn't matter for those.

Oh, I love Hrothgar and their lore. I just have a deep disappointment in their implementation character creation and compatibility wise.

Also, I'm joking about the not a cat thing by pointing out the fact that the race that looks more feline than a Miqo'te isn't told to look in a mirror by the Palico.

So just to clarify things. My comment wasn't a serious one. Though I am serious that Hrothgar deserve better and until they and Viera are finally completed I'll make little jabs at the Devs from time to time.

If we got them as a race I would have been so happy. Something more Miqo'te-ish would be more accepted I think though.

They could have both as options, kinda like how hrothgar got many face options, some more housecatish.
I love the idea of droopy ear dog girl paladin.

They have said we are not getting new races again. Do you honestly want half-finished races like the Viera and Horthgar again?

If I got to make a dog girl in game? Yes.

To be honest, they could re-use the body/skeleton/structures from any of the races to make a new race and just overlay whatever type of "skin/fur" they need on that, really they only need to make new heads (and maybe tails depending) to be able to add a new race. I'd find that totally acceptable.
And didnt they actually tweak the "bone structures" of each race when they did the graphic overhaul? I swear I saw a section in the liveletters or keynote during the lead up to Dawntrail...

EDIT: I guess it was this I remember them talking about. (2023 London Fan Fest Developer Panel) They incorporate partial automation and morphing of gear to fit other races. If they reused "body" assets, they wouldnt need to do much racial scaling and could focus primarily on new "racial" heads.

They all look like humans anyway. Mostly.

SE knew if they added a new Lupin race to CC they would become too powerful and overtake the Hroth, Roes, and Highlander existing races so it was not meant to be for us. Also, they wouldn't have claws or paws for feet either since they need to be compatible with current gloves and shoes, so it'd be a disappointment along with never wearing hats again because of the unique head shape...

Kemomimi is the coward's furry. We absolutely should have gotten Lupin, and Burmecian as well. Maybe Gria.

If they ever add more playable races the last thing they should do is add yet another "human with ______ ears" race. It should be very distinctly non-human, whether that means another beast race or a robot race or whatever.

As someone who plays generic human with cat ears, Yes please add more non hominoid races PLEASE. This game needs more Varity, Hrothgar being the only non human race really just feels lame.

The only new race I'd care about getting would be Gria, they are the closest to perfection as far as Final Fantasy races go for me, after that, I don't care, and I'd support almost anything just because it'd make someone else happy.

Honestly Gria would be mostly easy. Its basically aura female body/tails, with some Padjali horns & mini succubus wings on the back. Done.

That sent shivers down my spine. If the fashion accessories are anything to go by I would rather not have stiff cardboard wings permanently stuck to someone's back.

this game needs less furries

It's a Final Fantasy game. If anything, it needs more of them. XIV is rather tame in its furries in comparison to most of the FF series though.

They said that… and then they also made some comment about overwhelming demand for another race might force them to look into it. lol While I wouldn’t mind more races to choose from, I share your concerns about them being “half-finished.” And it’s not really on my personal wish list.

What I’d really like to see is the character creator expanded to give more options for the races we already have, especially after the graphics “upgrade” made so many player’s characters unrecognizable. It would be good to have ears and tails being able to be used across multiple races, and maybe OP could get their dog ears that way. My dearest wish is Elezen ears on Hyurs so I could finally be a half-elf like Hilda.

I was a little confused by this because Succubi don't have wings like that, their wings are drape-like, and look nothing like a Gria's wings should look, they do have tiny wings on their hips, but that asset is completely flat and even smaller than what a Gria's wings should look.

Gria wings are very different from Fashion Accessories, on size alone they are under half even the smallest option, and while in FFTA2 they are functional, Grias have innate flight without needing a pair of Faerie Shoes and ignore the Jump stat entirely, I could accept them being non-functional in XIV, to keep them in-line with other races.
