This might be a little crazy, but I'd like to see a new race that was actually... I don't know...

...creative?

Well, of course, but thoughts don't occur in a vacuum! Though to further discussion, what sort of race would you like to see?

Not sure about crazy, but I think the Holy See would want some sort of witch trial for your heretical thesis.

The question is, how do we make them look different and make them fit within the lore of the game? Allagan tech that's remained been recently surfaces sounds somewhat reasonable but still.

Why not have something that looks like it's a robot/doll with visible joints ect. that can have similar chosen racial details from already existing races? In FF14 there's a lot of lore of such things, with Allagan tech and mammets and what not, like the Magiteck Mount and goldsmith guild's master's Mammet. Have a race of automatons be born that are self-aware. I can easily see Cid and his team be crazy enough to do so.

Me too! Shame we probably won't see anything other than 99% human though, so I'm going with what's tried and true to be popular.

Enough with the animal people suggestions.
Cats, rabbits, foxes, dogs. How about a little more creativity than just adding a tail and some funny ears to a body type. Heck, I'd settle on non mamalian.
How about a race of cloth golems?
Or like, a race of sentient clouds with slender human legs?
Or maybe a race of amphibious horned dwarves with bee faces?

I dunno, something different.

Snip.

We've gotten close to semi AI tech before (Maggie!) but actually achieving it seems a bit off still, though I'm not so aware on the GSM's guildmaster Mammet in question. And I'm not so aware on Allagan's advances with AI sorta stuff, or even robots really. I could be forgetting some boss in the CT set, but aren't those all organic?
It could be neat, but the minor sort of stuff for what's really steely skin + robot addons is super little and might get a good bit of backlash from the community.

While I agree completely (Come on actual reptile girls pls SE) the issues with stuff like that are

-SE seems to want to make "Cute" girl races in order to make the current races popular, hence the Au Ra girls looking the way they do.
-It might be difficult or impossible to make stuff like armor work with some of those suggestions
-incorporating something like that into the story in a way that continues with the lore might also prove difficult

We won't be getting anything different most likely, so I'm being realistic given the circumstances. I'd love a bestial race as I've said a billion times on these forums, but as they say, chances are "it ain't happenin'"

Since we have to work with members of the beast tribes in various aspects of the games anyway, why not just let us play as them? Sure there would be a few hiccups here and there lore wise in the MSQ, but not really given how often we're made to work alongside them in the MSQ itself.

Having an Alma'jaa or Kobold tank would be really fun to watch
