So were getting Au Ra soon, but what other races do you want to see in the future?

[LordHadi]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Doesn't matter which or how many races they add. Lala is and always will be the master race.

no, sorry..

[Bluevann]

Although SE said they want to keep their playable races humanoid, my hope for a Red XIII race still lives.



If nothing else, I hope that whatever race comes next will have very androgynous males. With the exception of Lalafell, this has has nothing but buffed, wide-shouldered males that really annoy me. I want to play a male whose gender isn't immediately obvious, much like boys in anime.

I am Groot.

I like the idea of an Aegyl race, but they would need to drop ps3 support and add hi-res textures for fur/feathers. I am tired of them adding fur/feathers and looking worse than TERA when this game should be superior graphically.

You can stop talking down to me now. You can pretend you aren't but its very obvious since you feel the need to "educate" me on definitions of words I already know. Offense? Not really, just kind of like...I don't see why you bother when it wasn't even what the thread was about.

Man you really do take offense easily. I wasn't talking down to you and I wasn't acting all high and mighty like I was better than you. I wasn't trying to walk all over you either. I was making a statement that you took offense to like I was trying to make you feel bad or something and I responded to it the way I usually do when I deal with people thinking that I'm trying to tear them down.

I mean you could have just replied saying "Oh, ok! Sorry to take it the wrong way! ^^" But no you had to go and dig yourself into deeper insecurities. :\ Sorry you don't have as thick of skin as most of the people who post here.

I mean my last part of my first post talked about a possible race and you could have just ignored what I initially posted or responded to it differently and this whole ordeal would have never happened.

[Risvertasashi]

What I would really like (and will never happen because it's impractical) are truly non-humanoid species/races.

OTOH FFXI lets people play as monsters, maybe someday FFXIV will have something like that too!

[TouchandFeel]

Hmmm.. New races.

Personally I would like to see completely new races, although they could be named after or be a nod to an existing race in the FF series.

While Viera is a popular choice, I feel that Miq's already fill that niche for now. If they do add them to the game, they should be tall with long limbs, somewhere between Hyur and Elezen.

The only things that I can really think of is maybe an avian inspired race, no wings though as that would be a clipping nightmare, and maybe a mechanical race, maybe created ages ago with Allagan technology and something story/lore related has caused them to awaken.

Gnolls would be an interesting choice for sure. It would add some diversity to the races since they are not really human-like.

I actually did try to talk to you about the race, you just focused on the part where I said laughingly you don't need to bold and capitalize to get my attention. I am sorry if I misinterpreted the definition thing, but to me I don't see how it could be anything other. You also keep making up things about my state of mind, I am not offended or insecure lol, just if someone talks down to me I'm going to ask them to stop.

So just talk about races you want, okay? Then everyone can be discussing what the thread was made for ^^

I also asked nicely for you to stay on the race topic, but instead of saying "No, I was not talking down to you, sorry if it seemed that way" you added a bunch of other things accusing me of be offended easily and full of insecurities. Sorry but no, I am just talking to you in a discussion, and if I really was that fragile as you seem to make me out to be I would have left the thread crying or something lol


Anyway like I said before I am actually really interested in Gnolls as a new race, I never thought of them before, you mean these ones right?


I haven't played FFXI in a long time so I might have the wrong mob, but they are kinda like wolves I like that. I guess they would sort of be like Worgen from WoW if SE added them?

I would really like a Red XIII race too, I always used him in my party in FFVII. If not him then maybe a shape shifting race or job. I know WoW is a touchy subject around here sometimes but I played it for awhile and I miss my Druid a lot sometimes. It was the only game I played where you could shape shift and I really enjoyed it.

There were two types of Gnolls actually, but they were still the same race. Just certain few Gnolls had the ability to stand on their hind legs under certain circumstances.
Like this Gnoll here; who I believe is Alpha Gnole Anders.


When it was originally thought that Fenrir would be a primal, I had speculated that the Gnolls would be the beastmen tied to him.

In FFXI, Gnolls were called Wolfmen instead of beasts, so they are a sentient being and would most likely be a good race choice if SE's next race were to be a Mammalian Beastmen like race.

Considering this is a Japanese game, I'm quite surprised we don't have this yet. The only lucky character to get this treatment is Alphinaud...

Now if only they could allow different builds for the existing races... That would be awesome!
