Lupin - make it a playable race!

[Alleo]

I would think of it as somekind of Hyur clan. if anything.

But thats not a new race. Thats just hyur that are good at stealth.

Couldn't see it fitting into the lore at all, but I would love to play as one of the Ronso from FFX.

You're right... I don't have any ideas for what a thief race would be now.

I don't know why people say Lupin is not lore friendly, they are smart as other domans and live in with them.

I would LOVE this to be a new race. I think it would look cool running and fighting as a NIN, but one thing that comes to mind is...what about all of the helmets in game? don't you think that will be a LOT of reworking on helmets to fit the head...and even more so if you add decent customization such as snout long/short, ears, face width.

[OMega_ARcane]

Ehhh. As far as the story is concerned all it knows is you are a man or woman and is finally figuring out what job you are. Other than that the story does not give a single shit what race you are for the longest time. You could be a talking rock and it wont care.

More like a agreeing/disagreeing nodding rock

Imo Lupin are a bit far for a playable race. I'm fine with beastier races, but I want ones that aren't going to add development time to armor and glamour pieces, because then we would get fewer. I would vastly prefer that they go the "textures and smaller features" route of creating beast races - shorter/longer/stockier/thinner limbs, fur, fangs, subtle snouts, stuff that doesn't require heavily remodeling every single helmet, boot, etc in the game to fit them correctly.

To me, that would make sense is not only Viera, but also Bangaa and Nu Mou became available with the coming of Return to Ivalice raid. And Moogles coud become a playable race too.

Same. The only "difficult" part for them would be designing the helms for the race, the rest of the armor would fit perfectly.

Just lock the display headgear for that race problem solved.

While I admit its a cheap way out,if they can do it for the belt (wear but never show) I can see them doing it for Lupin with armor that wouldn't work with their face as is. Give us the eye patch, hats and such but stuff such as face masks or full helmets are worn, but not shown. As I said, its a cheap way out but one I'd be fine with if it means they become an option.
