Kan-E-Senna - Hyur or new race?!

I've been staring at the female galka and only just thought about how small Kan-E-Senna seemed (Gridania's company leader). She's too big for a Lalla, small for a human (child?) and then... her face seems a bit too round. That and the MASSIVE HORNS, or is everyone else glossing those over as hilarious headgear? Because they look like antelope horns and feathery bits... just a bit odd.
I know it's totally unlikely but it just seems a bit off as a design.

Concept art for all races: http://synbios.net/site/wp-content/u...oncept-art.jpg Here the humans don't look nearly as round in the face as Kan-E... really, her face is rather too round.

Kan-E-Senna: http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...pany/gc01.html

I think there is a kid in the grandia story line that has horns, prob. a relative of his race.
The design I think is based off the Gria race in most of the tactics games.

I think that is a different race but can't for the life of me remember where I've seen it before.

Kan-E-Senna is a female Pad'jal. Apparently females have the feathery things instead of horns. There's a male Pad'jal in the early Gridania story missions, maybe more than one, can't remember for certain.

Waaahh... reckon they'll make them playable? Or am I hoping too much?

It's possible, but I think if this were ever to be a consideration, it would be something included in a future expansion to add a new race. If at all, it will probably be a couple years down the road.

She's just a horned girl, like all seedseers. I wish they were grias tho. ^^ Just boys with horns are no fun at all.

Also, E-Sumi-Yan and O-App-Pesi are both Padjal in the Gridania Story Line

"In Gridania, there are those blessed by the forest. They are known as the Padjal. the touch of the elementals causes horns to sprout from their heads. They are ageless children, fluent in the tongue of the forest. It is the stuff of faerie tales, no?" -Wispily Bearded Woodworker

Hmm... On a related note, is the Chief Admiral of Limsa Lominsa, Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, a female Roegadyn? The only other time I remember a female Roegadyn being mentioned was in the r20 Goldsmith quest where you learned about beautiful females that were immortalized in brooches.

Ya she is. I was really surprised tho...i was expecting Roe F to be a naked gorilla just like the males, but with boobs...and seens like the do will be pretty! @_@

The race is called Seedsear

Yes, The German and French translations call her a Female Roegadyn specifically. The Japanese and English do not.

But her name, and appearance already made it obvious what she was. Especially if you put her artwork up next to the artwork from the box art by yoshida-san (not yoshi-p)

Also in the description of the Sea Wolf Roegadyn's on the http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/ site it says this. "The Sea Wolves originally hail from the islands of the far north seas, where they still subsist as fishermen and women." That with the looks based on how I thought female Roegadyn's would look and we get LL Company leader.

ya the pad'jal are unlikely to become playable races as that would'nt fit with the main story line at all. Any Gridanian will know it wouldn't work.

Seedsear is their position. Padjal is their race.

I simply figured she was one of those seers from Stillglade Fane (Conjurer's guild) at Gridania. If you start with Gridania as your location for main story, then you get to come across those seers a few times. As i recall what those guys looked like was a human child but they had hornes. Reminded me of Satyrs actually.

It only says that they are children (probably Hyur) that were touched by elementals. Then they retain their youthful appearance and grow horns. I think the character itself is plausible as a playable race, however, they appear to only be magic users. They could have base stats that reflect this, but still I think it would lose some of it's magic to be a marauder or lancer or something when they are suppose to be rather frail/fair looking children with heavy magical powers.

Also, their base model would be that of the children in this game...which I'm not entirely sure is all that attractive anyway. I guess when we see Senna it may prove me wrong. Nonetheless, just due to their magical nature sort of takes away from them possibly be a race we could be...not that I don't want to be one, just not sure how it would fit in historically speaking. =p

Which box art are you referring to? The North American release I think is different from the other ones.

I cant work it out, are you agreeing with me or not? XD

I'm really hoping they're a playable race someday, they're just so cute ( ; n ; )
I think they would fit in just fine, Seedsear is just a position, i don't think all Padjal should have to become one, and i don't think they do, (smallish spoiler?)i remember seeing a screenshot from a cutscene where a group of children were kidnapped, and about 2 or 3 of them were padjal, but they were dressed super casual, like the other normal kids, shirts, pants, bandanas on their heads~ not in the fancy/mage looking seedsear clothing the other more important ones wear.. and SE did say they may add more races with future expansions so, let's keep our fingers crossed!~ ( > u <

I also can't wait to see Roe female ( And Male Miqote), i remember seeing an NPC say there's a Roegadyn Maiden whose beauty alone made her one of Uldahs wealthiest, so i'm guessing they're going to be really pretty ingame, the grand company one looks really nice too <3

Aren't all Padjal the collective leaders of Gridania? I don't see SE letting players play a character type like that.

I hope the leader of Limsa is a Roegadyn, but I would very much like for someone to link the definitive proof that this is the case. This community tends to speculate a lot and that speculation quickly becomes "fact." Anyone have a web link?

I think the Padjal are too uncommon and high of station to become a playable race. That would be like SE letting us play Moogles.

Btw, I'm completely enchanted by Kan-E. She looks like a youthful Pagan Goddess.

Well, we do play moogles in some FFs ^^ I would live seeing the bunny-like moogles from Ivalice Alliance games being an playable race here! ^^ They could just call them likw "Western Moogles" or something else to specify why tey look different from the current white furball ones. However, moogles in FFXIV are supposed to be a beast tribe (friendly one) so i'd assume at least the white ones wouldn't be ever playable...but the beige bunnies do can ^^

Also, i'm REALLY hoping these horned boys turn into grias (dragonboys) and become playable. Would be awesome having grias in this FF! ^^

claiming one persone being pretty is to each person's taste to be honest. Besides the Goldsmithers can make anything look pretty. First R20 guild quedst you get for them is to make a brosch that represents a "miner" while almost not a single person you talk to during the quest would agree to this idea of putting something like a though of a minning into a piece of jewelery.

would female Roygedans be pretty, that is yet ot be seen i would say. however, the though of male mi'qote would be interesting. I still most likely will be playing female even if i had a choice between two sexes. >.> its jsut someting about staring at the girl char vs boy while you are yourself is a guy ...

well yes you playing moogles in other FF games but you since its a single player the amount of moogles is controlled. If moogles was suddenly a player character there would be too many for a rare mystical race

/shrugs the padjal always struck me as being written up both in look and in history to be summoners what with the horns and the stuff about being touched by the elementals.

i think Pad'jas are not a "Race" they could be lalas, hyurs, miqote, or roes. the difference been they have been chosen by the woods and given horns.? i could be wrong but it makes kinda sense. pad'jas are more like the chosen ones to protect the woods

I think the Pad'jal race play a similar role to that of the Zilart from FFXI, they are both skilled in magic, rare, and high in station when seen. Making them a playable race would be like letting a race with it's population in the double digits become playable.

Some of us want it to some degree, but it will never happen.
