FFXIV races are boring. There's a reason why I'm going in Vanu Zundu glamour :T
I like the races we have, although I wish Elezen didn't have such weird proportions. Not really a fan of beastly characters personally. Well anyway, maybe you'll get more beastmen glamour one day.
I doubt it, but I can dream.
Think about it, though: if FFXIV did go the same route as WoW/GW2 with their races (or made Roegadyn literally FFXI's Galka. It's funny how much a tail can change a race), chances are I wouldn't even be arguing/posting in this thread at all.
Aren't there rumors of a second race or something? Like a lion? Not that you should believe it 100%, but still.
THIS would be awesome, specially when Hyur is the only race with real freaking differences between clans/tribes; Different bodies and proportions, different emote animations, and even some voices too. Meanwhile the others...If they are going to cave and add it, which is likely, then I at least hope they add both of these versions for both genders, two different clans maybe?
Lalafells are the only short race we have so another shorty race would be nice for variety, and then of course the tall Viera for people who like the traditional Viera look.
- Lalafell: Just eyes. (And let's not forget that bodies are the exact same for males and females)
- Miqo'te: Eyes again... ohh yeah, skin color
- Roegadyn: Just skin color
- Elezen: Skin color again
- Au ra: Even as a race added by buying an expansion, just skin color yet again... ahh, right,stickerscales color too
I would really love to see not only another small race, but also one where the freaking skin color is not the only difference between one clan/tribe and the other.

When i see aLalafellcharacter wearing a cute glam
We already have various males ranging from toned to muscular and from medium height to tallest in the game. Why does a male viera with a smaller frame have to be childish? I'm also bearing in mind what we got as the final au ra design was not exactly like any of the concept art so we're still up in the air as far as what any viera will look like in FFXIV.
Bunny-Alphinauds would be cuuuute! I don't think I have the sanity to level another alt but if I could peer-pressure some guildies into playing bunboys, I'd consider it a win XD
Elezen also have different ear clasps. Fran has been one of my fave characters ever since I saw her. I'd prefer the taller version at least with the females and a shorter male just because it would be different. I get that they would have to change the feet so they wouldn't be in high heel pose all the time. A few ideas for the ears is it would be cool if you could get a bent ear or one that had a small chunk missing. Maybe even do something with the ear tufts. If we do get them I hope they get more than four faces and not have the horn bit with the au ra happen with them.
I really hope we get Viera. I've wanted to play one since I first started playing the game. Sorry to my Au Ra girls but I'd fantasia so fast lol. I just wonder how they'd actually handle the feet in game. Like will they go the WoW route with trolls, tauren, and draenei and make it so they don't actually wear shoes or will they give them flat feet? I guess this assumes they are in fact the next race though lol.
Whatever they choose to do or add I just hope they give more customization options. Still slightly upset you can't swap horns and faces with Au Ra.
