    Keep in mind, at least some races need to be off limits for lore purposes, otherwise the characters aren't as special. Sometimes that race difference is their entire identity, pretty much. (Like Gridania's padjal dude, whoever he is when he's not... padjaling around...)

    The whole thing about the PS3 races is that we felt it was ridiculous to let us choose a race... but limit the gender. Even form a lore standpoint, the justifications were tenuously liked to lore, at best.

    Yeah, and the male miqote, etc will get the priority. But they did say they are looking into the idea of implementing other races as playable.

    There will always be races that aren't playable, for instance, I can't play as a primal, or a beastmen. Those are a lot more understandable then baring us from playing Padjals. They may be few, but they're not so special that making them playable would destroy their identity. Padjals are not that different from the current playable races. In my opinion it'd make more sense to have Padjal playable before beastmen though I know a lot of people could want to play as them too.
