Excluse male beastman race for next expansion after Heavensward?

[MilesSaintboroguh]

So you went on a huge long winded rant that could have just been said as "I want a playable beast race next expansion pack and I want it male only for some reason"


Or this is yet another joke I am not getting...

Pretty much. I mostly did it out of fun. Otherwise; I asked it to be male exclusive as we know the player base wishes for female humanoid like creatures. This isn't only for this fan base; however, you see it amongst all other games. It's why I mentioned WoW, where you see plenty of male tauren, orcs, etc. However; you rarely see a female counterpart of those races. I do like letting emotions run wild, it is a thrill. I mostly made my counterpart out of humour to myself, in which, I knew wouldn't be funny to anyone else. That's why I said it in the OP.

It is actually strawman; from what I read from the description. However, it is the arguments basically played out by most people I've read from the forums. It isn't popular! It's to ugly! We'd have to adjust all the armor! Etc. I asked for male exclusive character due to everyone wanting something akin to Viera. I'll continue to adresss what people said in this post....Continuing onward!

if you just wanna play with a oversexualized bara/bear race, it won't go further than roegadyns, sorry.

I don't want to play as something like a Roegaydn! That's the point. I've always been the beastmen sort within' a video game. Tauren/Pandaren in WoW. Qunari from Dragon age inquisition. I love playing things away from humans and trust me. Roe aren't satisfying this urge. Honestly, the beastmen race can be the size of Au'ra and I'd still be satisfied. Heck, the OP HAS a picture of them. Funny enough, I never picked up this game at first because I was like, "Anime cute girls, with twinkish boys and oversized buff men. Hrrrmmmmm....Nothing interesting /ignore." I'm new to this game, and I only ended falling in love with it once I first picked up the game and actually played it. I could go on a list; but, that isn't the point. Also it ain't Bara unless it has some body hair *winks* I'm still personally conflicted on changing my Roe into Au'ra due to the fact I can make my Au'ra look somewhat demonic in appearance. Get the horn armor and planned on running around with 4 horns!



Wait, I look up the definition of Bara: Western, gay male anime and manga fans then appropriated the word to contrast with yaoi. Both are homoerotic anime-style art; the difference is while yaoi is gay-male art produced by women for the consumption of women, bara is created by men, for men. Consequently, bara-style art tends toward more exaggerated, overtly masculine physiques and stereotypically masculine behavior.

I don't think this is wrong anyway. Hey, let it cater to yaoi (If there is anything women like about beast folk), more people interest the less human I can be in a video game. :P

I mean, I'm going to be honest, I hope SE would be above watering down and playable beastman race's design so that the girls are cute. I would love to have a beastman race added, but I'd hope it'd have sexual dimorphism akin to the Lalafell or the beast tribes currently on game (sans Sahagin I think).. but that's never going to happen.

And I also hope if they add new races they go for something new, if they just copied the Ronso or whatever race from previous final fantasy games it'd just seem lazy imho.[/

I don't personally care if they add Ronso or not, as long as it is basically a cool beastmen race to play. I personally love the look of Ronso, so I simply played out their appearance. If I liked a different race I'd use them instead. I wish they separated the Au'ra clans, and made one similar to the old concept art well having the humanoid counterpart. The thing with Ronso; however, is that they can't water it down because we'd have Miqo'te 2.0. A female counterpart wouldn't hurt tbh

If you wanted to make fun of that thread, at least do it while it was at its peak. This looks like a punchline that missed the bus.

Awwww, but it is so much fun. Though, besides the point it was to ask in making a male exclusive beastmen race cause I'm afraid the race would be diluted into making a humanoid male with features so it satisfies the majority with humans with [insert feature here]. I don't hate those races at all; all I ask is for something different for next expansion.

Galka reproduce through reincarnation

Actually, that's what inspired me to write this. I thought it'd be awesome to use similar methods for a new male and female race so both crowds get what they want next expansion. Though using crystals to summon as a form of reincarnation seems pretty interesting.

For those who don't get where the strawman came from, it's related to another thread where most beastial race suggestions got shot down because they are apparently hard to make or not popular enough to justify creating them (yet they still made Roes which less than 10% of players use).

Ouch, you found me out so early! lol They should have kept the tails *grumble grumble* I honestly used Miqo'te female because most arguments came from them. I don't know why since the thread wasn't about removing Au'ra.

Agreed so hard, well as long as we're talking about the super reptilian looking one. I'm honestly a little bummed out that SE didn't ever make (For all I know anyways) a dragon looking girl like the one we saw. I'm a little tired whenever someone says "man I wish the au ra looked more like the concept art! *links the really reptilian looking guy and the succubus lady". Cause imho the succubus concept art isn't too far from what we got, just no weird hands, less thicker talls, less bigger hair and horns, and smaller boobs.. it just looks boring compared to the dragon one imho, it's just the current Au Ra lady body but vaguely more mature/sexy looking.

Honestly, considering how similar the body shapes of the girl Miqo'te and Au Ra are I wouldn't put it past SE to water down how the Ronso look

Honestly, I wouldn't mind the water downed Au'ra. Not because I want them water downed, but we severely need something that looks aggressive and mature for females. Whenever people say, "This is the mature face! *looks at a face for Miqo'te and Au'ra* I honestly laugh. We need women who look sophisticated and would rip your face off. <3 Though, I'm sure Square could pull off a sophisticated and aggressive female beastmen race. Nevermind about the display, you've seen it already I assume. :P Tried looking for something different. Here:



Just adjust the hands and she could probably be added into the game. Also, damn it is hard to find female beast folk. lol

Excluse male beastman race for next expansion after Heavensward?

So you want to shut out or keep out a male Beastman race for the next expansion?

Shut out; kept out.

The stabs, show me mercy! Please! I...I can't go on. I'm sure you know what I meant, you're a clever gal. ~.^ Haha, if they did make female beastmen instead I'd honestly instantly switch to them. 10x badass then the other male races, I'd just find armor that hides the boobs. Make boob size as small as possible and RP as a male.

when they enter ARR they fix the issue with 1.0 not having male/female of 3 of the race. You come on here thinking they just going to release a male only of a race? Ya sorry but i see a beastman type race being release at somepoint but it's going ot have both male and female.

I'm all for it! Don't get me wrong, I want a beast race of both genders. However, as I've mentoned, I'm afraid of the diluting of the race to satisfy the majority that already plays the game. We've already seen how male and female exclusive armor sets work. Male exclusive makes people scream, female hardly a squeak except us from the "minority". Female characters will be listened to more, and if it ain't pretty enough it'll be diluted. If they start looking to much as a different race, guess what? I will bet you the males will be brought down then females brought up to my standards.
