Viera Race "Confirmed" for 5.0! Are you gonna change races?

Heck, Ul'dah (the place vehemently against Beastmen) has two Beastmen casually standing around out in the open (if you unlock BLU) with no explanation on how/why they're allowed to.

The quest literally tells you why they're allowed in Ul'dah: Ul'dah barred beastmen out to drive out foreign market competition (ie. Goblins). The beastmen in the BLU quests are neither native to Eorzea/local nuisances (Amalj'aa) nor are they merchants (Goblins) so they get to stick around as part of the circus troupe.

I think the lady mentioned how Mamool Ja weren't mentioned in the laws at all, so it was a technicality. I'm sure Lupin, Namazu, and Kojin could slip between the cracks too.

I'd like to see the Namazu with their wacky hijinks in Ul'dah - yes, yes.

On a more serious note, all four of those races you mentioned are not native to Eorzea, so of course the Syndicate failed to write in or otherwise anticipate the lot of them.

Yup, they're not from Eorzea nor have they have historically had a real presence in Eorzea so they aren't likely written in. That said, it'd probably be safer for them to stick to places where people are more familiar with them. If the first Xaela to stumble into Coerthas were executed for looking like dragons I don't know how well a Kojin would fare lol

I'll admit I kinda lost interest in the BLU plot at some point (also was fighting food coma, since BLU came out in the evening my time after dinner), but if that's why they're allowed in Ul'dah... then I think it's safe for races like Lupin to be playable. Plus they can just say "it's a costume" if people are scared of them for whatever silly reason.

The entire basis of this game story is about the distrust and mistreatment of the beast tribes, play wow if you want to a be furry, xiv is never going to have a playable one.

Doesn't have controller support like FFXIV, so no.
