A Race Suggestion: Kitsune

[Fatshine]

God, enough with the cute crap. Have you guys seen the Au'Ra concept art? It destroys what we ended up having. We need more feral or "beastly" races. Viera is the last thing I want. Cats and bunnies, no thanks.

Heck, my biggest issue is the girl Au Ra concept art is hardly that different (The body shapes are basically the same, really the only differences are larger arms and size of the horns) and a good bit of people seem to like it all the much more. Personally I want less sexy or cute races in the future, I was really hoping the Xaela would look like Highlanders in comparison to the Raen's midlander, even that would be more appreciated from me.

your argument became questionable the moment you used tera in it and didnt even mention elin
way more of the playerbase plays elin over castanic or high elf or human

I actually used tera for that reason. Notice the ratio of players that do not use Baraka and Amani? As unique and bestial they may look they are by far the less chosen option in that game.

And the Elin are more than the Castanic, high elf, or human, should SE make a cute, wide hipped, waifish, larger Lalafell with animal ears to follow up?

Just because fewer people play them doesn't mean they shouldn't be made. That's just appeal to the lowest common denominator. Having a wide variation of races enriches a game world, which helps lead to longer subscriptions. (sensible) variety adds to long term appeal.
An MMO like this can be more than just simple stock pleasure bait.

We don't need characters which are basically the same with slightly different ears and tails. I mean. What would a fox character look like? A Miquote with slightly fatter ears and a fluffier tail? Come on.

Even if we're trying to keep the races fairly similar, it's way too on the nose. Even the original races have widely varying body types.

Problem is, that's not how things work. With a subscription based MMO you don't appeal to the minority of the players. If Millions of japanese want to play cute races, SE won't stop making them for the sake of a few thousand players.

I personally would love a race that is less human than anything we have now. I always chose the most exotic out of available races and classes. Unless they look like a rock. I mained a castanic in TERA and made an Elin to try out the reaper.

[Wolfyboy]

Yep, we definitely need more of this guys!




I also don't understand the comparison to the Ronso females. They look pretty much like the same race with different options. They're still a lot better then what we're getting. To be honest, Roe might not be popular due to the fact that they're basically bulky humans. I'd personally would have loved to see a lot more options to them, even the good ol' Galka tail would have been nice.

[Sensual]

Just no more animals, we got enough cats as it is now.

[AxelDH]

These organic races are getting a bit boring now.... I say we need more robots!

[Kasenai]

How about not pulling new races out of hat and use what's already in the game/lore?

Coming up with a brand new race that somehow no one knew existed every other patch or expansion is going to look really stupid, really quickly.
