A Race Suggestion: Kitsune

[Hyouretsuzan]

I would like to see some anthro races in general. I don't want to see more of "Human-like race with -insert animal here-characteristics"

[Dalvy]

Less cute animal-morph people; we already have not!dragon girls and catgirls for the cutsie factor

We need to give more attention to FF's more beastial people, like bangaa, nuu mou, seeq, garif, etc

I think if they make any new race "bestial," they're going to be beast tribes. To be honest, the Au Ra looked too similar to a reptilian beast tribe than as playable characters, which was probably why they look the way they do now. I always thought the races have common ancestors, which would explain why they are so human-like. I suppose you could ask why aren't the beast tribes playable, but I think there may be lore and reasons in game-design behind it.

Ever since you said that I decided to do a quick search. Is this what you were talking about? Because, god damn, I'd have raced changed in a heart beat. http://imgur.com/a/PMrSf

That has a larger collection. But I don't really get why people like the other girl Au Ra model.. It hardly looks too different except for bigger horns imo >.>

[Nektulos-Tuor]

Red Mage + The Rat race in FF9...

Well, they are like Rats+Kitsune a bit.

More furry looking, non-human.



I would also like a scaley race. Something that looks like Iksar and Trandoshan.

[ForsakenScholar]

As much as I would love to see a Kitsune race, I think it would be too similar to the Mi'qote. If it were to be done I imagine they would have to look more bestial, moreso than the upcoming Au Ra. Plus as of right now they wouldn't really have a basis for why they exist in Eorzea. I'd rather just have fluffier tail options myself.

Let's ask a question here:
How many of those were main characters?
Viera are likely purely because of Fran. Hell, Burmecian are actually SOMEWHAT likely (though they'd need a change to their faces first as snouts both don't "sell" and are a pain to design helms around. The feet and hands are the same way.) thanks to Freya. But how many of the others are likely? Where was the bangaa that traveled around with Ashe and Vaan? There wasn't one. They were "flavor" races, sidekicks in the tactical games. Not main characters.
We are main characters.

In addition, as I've said before, when proposing a new race, it's imperative that you ask the question of how to deal with the armor and weapons. You would essentially need to start development all over again just to deal with each new body feature. Remember that SE specifically said that they've been taking the au ra horns into account since 2.1 for just helms. Can you imagine having to go back and do so for EVERY SINGLE piece of equipment because you want to add a race that's bestial?
Practicality comes first.

Then they can spend a few years making the new race. It just appears lazy when you just recycle something that already exists and then tack something new onto it. Malibu Stacy with a new hat.

I also made sure to have as many Bangaa and Nu Mou (and sometime's Seeq) within my Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced/A2 party :T

If we get another furry race, it will be Viera.

Female characters can already look like a Viera though... unless they're a Miqo'te. Change to Highlander or Hellsguard and bam. Viera.

[Riepah]

Because making something the majority like is basically telling those who aren't a fan of "99% human 1% miscellaneous" to go elsewhere. Even if it's just a small %, at least there will be playing the new race.

You seriously expect them to spend a few years making a race that isn't popular and will only be played by a small percentage of players?
