New Racers for Final Fantasy XIV

[Baxter]

Mostly..because Ivalice is a different world linked with two different game series, FFXI > FFXIV made sense because these are generic races that fits the typical mold of MMO races -- For example Viera has no place in Eorzea, nor does Bangaa.

They mentioned a dragon and demi human race, but they didn't mention it being playable races, for example Dragons clearly have to have some kind of hierarchy to mount up against humans, much like other Beastmen tribes.

No place? All races are all from the same multiverse, sure they have a place. Saying it's alright to port HD XI races because they are both MMOs, but from a different world and not okay to port races from other games in the series because they are offline, is a pretty lame excuse - no offense. If you're going to rob from other games within the series (as xi was a game in the series) you may as well bring back fan favorites.

I am kind of going to swerve a bit off topic here, but maintaining the logic not to dig into past games and completely reinvent the wheel is exactly why this game fails to meet any form of potential. They have all these great ideas from past iterations (not just xi their entire catalogue) to create a lush, fun, lorefilled, unique playing environment, but seem to refuse to do so. It leaves fans and on lookers alike stumped, baffled, and screaming 'wtf are you doing???'.
