Lupin - make it a playable race!

[Barachim]

Honestly, I wouldn't have anything against the Lupin. Or any sort of Beast Tribe race in general. I always wanted to see a race like Khimari's in the game. I know we already have the Miqo'te as the "feline" race, but I wouldn't mind seeing a more animalistic race.



Or Freya's race from FFIX.

Alls I want out of a new race is one where the women are larger than the men.

Enough with the petite waifus.

Give me strong warrior women and dainty soft boys.

Clan option? If they added a beast race and all the boys were dainty I'd be a little ;/. Regal (clan) female > regal male (bit of an inverse Au Ra scenario), and then bestial (clan) where they are similar or whatever.

Best you can hope for is beast tribe quests. I'm sure that's what we'll probably eventually get - the story already eludes to us being friendly with them while there could be potential for others to still side with the Garlean cause.
I like what little lore we have of them, and maybe if they were more humanoid it could work. But as it stands - both in a lore angle and a gameplay angle - it just wouldn't work.

Problem with that logic is the Au Ra. They look somewhat beastman-ish yet nobody brings it up in ARR, and it's really only brought up from HW on. It can be done like that, where it's never really mentioned until SB areas. Plus the Halloween event questline seems to hint at Eorzea being able to be okay with the Lupin.

They look nothing like beastmen, they look like humans with horns and scales. Also remember Yugiri kept her face concealed, so the odd appearance was brought up in ARR.

Yet at the very beginning of the quest line, our introduction to the Lupin has villagers seeing him and fleeing. Getting to know one individual under a controlled situation is one thing, same can be said if you were to introduce the beastmen clans we make peace with. But without that controlled situation, without a special circumstance, anyone would see the Lupin as something to be wary of and either avoid entirely or act aggressively towards. Eorzeans can be a very squeamish and untrusting lot. There can be exceptions, but they are just that.

Before any other race is introduced i want Viera. There is more than enough support for it and concept art has already been unveiled.

Though, due to the recent announcement by Yoshi P. in regards to housing and server stability and infrastructure, the addition of expanded customization options for current races should be looked at. In the past, the excuse for limited character creation options was the strain it would put server side due to increase character data moving for one point to another.

The separation of eye and head gear, the addition of beards for males, body sliders (within reason, no disproportionate monstrosities ala Blade and Soul/ Aion, ect...), a hair customization system that allows for different sections of the head to mix and match hair styles (front, back, side accents.

(example: Tekken hair combination preview)


Primary, secondary, and accent dye options for weapons and armor, weapon glow/ aura effect glamours, expansion of character interaction emotes (implemented like the ride pillion option, /carry, /dance, ect...).


but Viera first SE... we have waited long enough.

I support this. We need more beast like races.
