We need Dwarves with might.. MIGHTY beards as the next race

[Lokier]

I wonder how they could possibly write dwarves into the FFXIV world.

Dwarves from SE games however have existed, Chrono Cross dwarves were bizarre.

Dwarves tend to be made out of dirty / rock so we probably dig them up out of some old, musky ruin.
Either that or we wake them up from a slumber the Allagan put them under in some old, musky, tech-tower.... Cyborg dwarves!
