What NEW races would you like to see?

[Kailok]

I'd like to see some sort of reworking of the Amal'jaa, but one that isn't as violent.

They could be like a sister race, kind of like how the Highland Hyur and Midland Hyur are related.

Could call them the Amal'jin. They would look the same, except not as tall and huge as the Amal'jaa cousins are.

But that's just tossing around ideas.

I see this becoming a issue Tho unlike WoW where you most start a new race to become a class. What they going to do for ffxiv? make us pay 25$ everytime they end up making a new race?

New Pack
PC:39.99
PS3:49.99

New race
New class
new areas

30-40% players base switch to new race 25$ profit -.- that a big chuck of money SE be taking just to add new race lol w/e i stay with elfs lol.

I'm guessing you're misunderstanding how this might go, or that you haven't played too many games with stuff like this. Take XI for example.
What did we get with it? Quests and content to become Dancers.
What did the base game get updated with?
Dance emotes.

This is how I see it panning out. PS3 release launches, with it comes new races, but not locked to the console-game itself, instead patched into the base game.
Because it's something as basic as a new playable RACE, instead of a new JOB tied to an expansion, I don't see why they couldn't do this.

besides, from how I'd figure it, the only reason they're marketing it for the PS3 is to give it a little more spice than to say "Guess what? New console version!!!" That said, it would be obvious to the marketing team and to the devs to make it base game compatible, that the release coinciding with the release of the PS3 version is merely a way to get more people interested.

However, if they wanted to tie the new races in with the PS3 release they could offer a free ticket inside for a one time race change, and offer it to the rest of the player base for a small amount of crysta. That or make it questable.

Whats so bad about paying an extra $25 anyways? We've practically used up more than $100+ worth of subs since the release. lol

First and ONLY comment i have about this... are you referring to playable races and if so i sure as hell HOPE your gonna be allowing current players to change race and keep stats cause alot of people are hitting 5-10 rank 50 jobs and it would be a big F you to those players not allowing this... you gave us races we had to choose from and we played our characters loyally for almost a year now, and then new races? sure hope your not gonna just say F you to all those players and tell them if they like the new races to drop over a years worth of work and start a new character (yes i start over a year cause it will be over a year of play time by time these come out )

Burmecian type race like Freya.
Espers like Terra.

Selkies and Yukes? All cool playable races from the Final Fantasy universe that can be based off of for new races in this game, amirite?

[Darrkness]

...Espers like Terra.

now that i didn't think about.. that would be a nice class/race

[Razor]

M/F Qiqirn. Or a race like them. That is all.

=0
That I wouldn't mind
Yukes would be hard though because how do you armor something that already wears armor?

Also, I want the male miqo'te to look more like lions or tigers.

Kind of like Everquest's Vah'shir:

Here's how they looked in-game:

The fact that the female Miqo'te are catgirls makes sense because they are female. They are petite and feline. However, I feel like the Male Miqo'te REALLY need to bring out the primal cat side of the race.

Kind of like..They're releasing the Female Roegadyn. You don't expect the Female Roe's to be huge and buff like the males. Yes, I imagine they will be amazonian in their likeness, but you get my point.

Female Miqo'te bring out the petite, fun, and curious side of the Miqo'te race. I want to see the primal warrior hunter in the males. If ANYTHING, at LEAST make them a cousin race like the Highlander Hyur are.

Gwoss. >_>
Personally if we're gonna have male miqote I'd hope they resemble actual uh....Men with cat ears and tail. Perhaps different or shorter from female miqote. idk. It's possible to make them manly without making them completely bestial. I don't think that's really SE's style anyhow.
