Lupin - make it a playable race!

[Abriael]

I'm not stating that they are a beast tribe and that's not the point I'm attempting to get across. I'm just saying within the confines of the game as we know now, the Au'Ra are from Doma and across the Ruby Sea, yet ours just starts as any other race. It clashes with the game as a whole.

Only it does not. Simply because there is no part in the current dialogue that clashes with the idea of a Doman or a Au Ra to be the warrior of light. The world isn't a series of airtight compartments. People travel and the fact that Domans and Au Ra simply did not appear in the game before their implementation doesn't mean that they didn't exist in Eorzea. They simply weren't depicted. Just like half-breeds always existed and exist in Eorzea even before Hylda was implemented.

On the other hand, the existing dialogue of the game makes a point to indicate beast tribes as something alien and extraneous to the warrior of light and his companions basically all the way through the story of 1.0 to 4.0. That story doesn't go away (1.X aside), and is still fully playable.

Also I stick around this thread because I hold interest in the topic and would enjoy if lupins became a player race and thus would like to see what others think so I should leave why? You just stick around just to keep telling people it cant happen. Youre probably the most stale piece of Balmungian bread on the forum.

Oh, how cute, a little random personal attack. I stick around because I'm interested in the discussion. I'm interested in the long-term success of this game, and I believe that the implementation of the lupin over potentially much more popular races would be detrimental to that. The implementation of a new race is a big deal visibility and promotion-wise, and I'm definitely interested in seeing that exploited as best as possible, because that means a game that I'll enjoy longer, with more resources and by consequence more content for me and everyone else.

As you have your interests, I have mine, and I'll argue my points as much as I deem necessary, with or without your permission.

Good thing that's not up to you to decide.

Nope. It's not up to me to decide. The fact that this thread represents just the desire of individuals and not "the people" is simply a fact.
