Playable race, Dragon?

[Zeref]

In one of the live interviews, not sure if its one or two, along with Male Miqo'te Yoshida also mentioned the possibility of Dragons as a playable race, was that an idea or is there an actual plan to have a playable dragon race?

[Dawiichan]

Are you sure you didn't misread it and it had something to do with either dragoons or the dragons at Ishgard?

[KiniRyris]

yeah i dont know about any dragon races coming to Eorzea. Eorzea's theme doesn't really fit a dragon as a playable race

[Duuude007]

Is there an actual plan to have a playable dragon race?

They did indeed say it was a plan, in the official translation of the first Letter from the Producer LIVE:

Q: On the upper left hand corner of the white board, "Female Highlander", "Male Miqo'te", "Female Roegadyn" and "Must Have". Does this mean that new races could be added?

A: It's more like something we must have in the game and it's a meeting log from when we were talking about adding them as soon as possible. After we calculate the cost, we will first add the things that are must have. After that, we would like to move on to introducing other races such as Demi Human and Dragons.

This could make things interesting, as up until now the story suggests that Dragons are sworn enemies of Ishgard.

Nope, Interview 1, you can check it yourself if you want to.

Hmm, interesting. I honestly don't see a dragon looking that good as a race. Just imagining the dragons shown in the trailer in the job gear makes a weird mental picture.

I'd accept kind similar to this:

Or this:


Not so much this:

Though we're more than likely to get this kind if we do, considering it's FF.


Not that i necessarily want a cartoon/anime dragon as a playable race, just one with a more prominent dragon head, bangaa look more like a scaled dog race than they do a dragon race.

Though they might just end up being like Gria from tactics, hume look with horns/wings/tail kinda like miqo'te but with dragon instead of feline traits.

I would love to see dragon as a race. I like they are adding old school style FF stuff into 14, but I also like seeing original stuff as well.

I know there were a couple of FF games where there were dragon-like races that were intelligent enough to be playable, but most of them were exclusive to Ivalice so I don't know if SE would be willing to cross them over.

On a side note, they might be a beast-tribe.

They didn't say Dragons and Demi-humans would be playable.
