    I'll never understand the argument of adjusting all armor for a more beast-like race.

    Example 1: Ronso
    1) What about their face!!!
    1A) Their muzzles are quite small so it'll fit fine in helmets
    2) What about their feet!!!!
    2A) Their feet can be slightly modified to better suit the gear
    Otherwise, they're one of the perfect races to translate into games. They had a character that assisted you in FFX, so I think JP wouldn't mind so much.



    Number 2 contender! Moogles!
    What can I say? They're like Lalafells with a more beast appeal.



    Number 3: Shadow Lord.
    This character you'd just have to adjust the horn size, and possible allow small spikes against his back. Otherwise, I'd say good to go.


    I feel it is fully possible for them to make a beast race.
    After all, this is what they made for concept art. ~.^

I don't know why people keep insisting that it would be "just a minor adjustment" when there's several other factors that come into play. Just because something is possible doesn't mean it's always feasible or at least universal.

    I used Second Life a lot (laugh at me all you want to) and I had to deal with avatar models of all shapes and sizes; sometimes it was a major pain to get my character a new set of clothes or armor because some creators didn't make said clothes that suited my avatar's shape. Even if I found something that was pretty close to what I wanted, it was back to the drawing board if the animations didn't make it look right, especially if there's clipping involved.

    Did you read what I wrote? I said they could adjust the feet to make it more suited for foot armor. Minor adjustments also mean changing the race to suit what they require but not butcher it. Changing the feet of Ronso won't destroy how the race looks and feels, that's my main point.

    Should the horn go through the headgear or should the headgear cover the horn like with Miqo'te ears?

    I was thinking similar to how the ears work for the eleven and Miqo'te race.

    O yes, about that argument of playing
    I want a race with octopus arms and are 8 feet tall and fat with mouth tentacles like cthulu!

    (No, not really.)
    I really dislike it, it is going to the extreme. Here, I'll do the same. "We should only go with the most popular races, seeing as miqo'te and lalafell are extremely popular I'm sure something combined will be a total hit!"

    "I bet subilgars would look nice on these cuties!"

    Ironically, that race (the Elin) saved the MMO TERA from financial problems BHS was about to face due to the high demand of the eastern playerbase wanting to have certain costumes with them.

    Now, at least, the NA version enjoys a rather solid playerbase due to the steam release of TERA with the new class they have thrown in.
