Ingame or IRL?

Honestly I wouldn't mind being a real one. I would miss the garlic but otherwise it would be fun

We discarded the possibility of Ul'dah pretty quickly, but....there is a chance that vampirism would be connected to Thaumaturgy or Black Mages. Either as an extreme form of black (or blue) magic, or as a punishment from one of the twelve for dabbling in forbidden magic.

[Werewolf]

Final Fantasy had werewolves too, mostly notably were the ones from Final Fantasy V (Kelger "aka Kelga/Kelgar" was one of the four warriors of light) and VI (Lone Wolf); even in Final Fantasy: Unlimited they had one which I named and modeled my character after lol

Even in Final Fantasy XI they had the Gnoles which were kind of like werewolves lol

I would like to see them in Final Fantasy XIV as well ^..^

I can see the dark side of white magic as some kind of vampirism. Amdapor apperantly was experimenting on thing that shook the foundation of reality.

If whm= using energy to heal then surely a step beyond that is using life to heal to the point of immortality.

Yugiri. Tecnically she is an Au Ra ninja, but Au Ra are basically human looking dragons as far as anyone's concerned.

So....Shiva is her grandma???

I think that shoehorning Vampires into Heavensward would be doing them a disservice. Let Heavensward be about the Dragons - the Voidsent, which I presume is the category under which Vampires would be included, deserve an expansion of their own.

No one in Eorzea, not even the Thaumaturges, know a great deal about Voidsent - just that they exist in this other realm and can't seem to get enough of clawing their way into this one to chew on the inhabitants. I'd like a whole expansion to tackle the topic, and it would be a great place for Vampires to shine.

but as the Hildibrand questline revealed

Ul'dah used a zombie plague against Sil'dih. Who knows what else is hidden by the sand.

Pff. Shows what you know! This is totally not what my Ul'dahan history textbook says!

Sure, why not? Vampires can't be far from their old enemies. Just one thing. No werepires! That word makes no linguistic sense whatsoever, and even if it did, it would mean a human-vampire hybrid.

Even better. You need life force to heal, don't you? That's the whole problem in the conjurer questline. Normally you call upon the elementals, or if you are a n00b conjurer, you use your own lifeforce. Now, if you were to use the life force of the people in close proximity...hmmmm. Actually I like the idea of vampires being white mages. Throws all the black-white morality out the window nicely.

So....Shiva is her grandma???

Since Shiva is long dead and Ishgardian, I doubt she's grandmother, but they could be related. Only a bit more distantly.

True. A Dark Gothic expansion with vampires, phantom trains and witches *cough* Ultimecia *cough* would be nice, but that would be much harder to pull off. It all depends on where the story is going. You see, we are focusing on dragons now, and the sins commited by Eorzeans go back at the very least to the Allagan Empire and the Meracydians. They are a huge part of the current plot. On the other hand, vampires can't make such claims. Yet. If however we get entagled in the social intrigue of Vampire Lords in Ishgardian society they would become important enough to warrant their own expansion.

Well as the questline reveals, a secret society made sure that the true account remain hidded. That is, untill the Mandervilles came along.

As a race they would be fine, but if they are the same as blue mage, I would prefer a blue mage because they are pure awesomeness and it would be a disserve to have them replaced by a fairly unknown job like the vampire.

A good point. Vampires worked in Tactics S as the game had like 50+jobs.

However nothing stops the vampire race to roll as blue mage. I think the most natural fits would be blue mage, white mage and dark knight.
