First expansion pack and new race

[Sfarzoso]

AND NOW HYDEALYN BELONGS TO US! MOVING OUT OF EORZEA TO EXPLORE THE WORLD!

[Farinor]

I would like to see the Bangaa race along with the Templar job(tanking lancer)released

[Muzy]

All I gotta say is, if Viera are added, it's wabbit hunting time! *Sharpens claws and gets stewpot ready*

[Altun]

mog will not be a playable race, forget it people.

about gria (even if i want to see them in game, can be fun) i doubt they can be related to ishgard, did you forget what they do to people that accused to be link to the dragon in anyway?
they toss them in a big hole, if they can fly (and gria have wing) they are shoot down by archer, if they can't... they die killed by the fall.

Ishgard hate dragon, as much as dragon hate them. don't hope for any dragon-like race near ishgard it will be really really really bad for the lore.
finally they have said that they will add new race more closer of the human, don't hope for the bangaa for now

You have point but still can not agre with all what you said,SE said they will add demi human and dragon race,plus maybe Ishgard and dragons will find some compromise LOL

From the fishing log for Leafy Seadragon (a harmless and useless fish):

Though once found all across the five seas, seadragon numbers are now but a mere fraction of what they once were, due in part to Ishgardian culling parties.

Yeah, Ishgard do hate them sum dragons...

It being related to Ishgard is because Ishgard is stated to be Battle Content, but you do make a point that SE would probably drop the ball on even that. :x

Like any FF game, there's always exceptions and which FF game doesn't have a sect of people that despise x yet still find friendly versions of said enemy strewn about? Look at Goblins, usually the first enemy in many FF games you play yet in later ones we almost always have a friendly group of them. Gria obviously aren't from this part of Eorzea, but if Blizzard can allow us to play as Aliens for the hell of it, SE can allow us to play as pseudo dragon people. It'd make much more sense than Bangaa for example.

[Tanama]

I'd much rather get some sort of monster/beast tribe creature that doesn't even look human.

Like the Ronso from FFX?

___________________________
EDIT:

We have enemies from FFXII in Eorzea. With that in mind it wouldn't be so far fetched to have Viera and Bangaa introduced as playable races.

[Horrifying]

Man, I'd switch to bangaa so fast @_@ Don't think it'll happen, though. It'll probably be padjal or something boring. If they introduced one of the more exotic races they wouldn't be able to copy/paste gear sets across races anymore. That said, Nu Mou would be cool, or Burmecian, mayhaps.

[Yshnal]

A cactuar race. Who doesn't want to use 10.000 needles on everything that moves? D:

No, seriously. As cool as that would be, I think that they might put in vieras or moogles first (or both, vieras as female only and moogles... well, who can differentiate a male moogle from a female one when designed as here in FFXIV?).

[Dervy]

If they release the Vierra, they will have to release a male counter part to it, breaking the lore slightly, just like the Miqo'te. Either way, if they bring the Bunny Women into this game, I'm switching races so fast...
