I've seen quite a few people interested in them. It's female Highlanders that aren't getting any love.

Who knows. The official reason for being able to re-design our characters was due to graphical engine changes bringing some changes in aesthetical appearance.

Maybe they ARE giving Roegadyn tails, but have just decided to withhold that juicy information for a more fabulous occasion...


PS - I'll be turning my Midlander Male into A Moon-keeping male.

There's a difference between changing the graphics engine and adding tails to a race that doesn't have tails. The whole thing with the graphics engine is that things as they currently are wouldn't look right transferred over without any changes, hence allowing us to change (along with the inclusion of new gender options for the races). There's nothing that would support giving Roegadyn tails.

Why cant one of the clans be muscular while the other is more feminine? -3-

Probably because with the females there is little difference between the clans in that respect. It would make sense that the males would mirror the females to a degree, as do all other existent races. Highland Hyur is essentially just a buff Midland Hyur however they are not considered a different clan of the Midland Hyur, they are essentially considered a different race as far as the game is concerned. Lore-wise they essentially are just a different clan of Hyur but in the game they're a completely different option on the character creation, they don't share race specific gear (underwear) with Midland Hyur males, etc...

i is wonder why did they remove tail from galkas? everyone else are exactly the same from ffxi except roggadyns. instead they remove theire only distinct physical attribute that sets them apart from humans. now they are just big humans that have different skin colour. i wonder how peopel would feel if they removed tail from cat men.

i hope i will have a chance to ask devs in a live letter or Q%A or if community people will bring this issue to the game developers. but i presume the train has left the station already.

if they dont change elf to masculine, add tail to roggadyn or create customisable beard on highlander i will have to go with female roggadyn.

Same reason for the topographical repetition across the zones in order to have seamless environments - PS3 RAM limits. Supposedly rendering the tails was deemed too big a waste of the PS3's limited RAM, given that unlike in FF XI (where the low-ish level graphics meant they could get away with a certain lack of detail) the tails would have to have some fairly detailed animation and texturing that'd add up if you had a lot on screen at once.

With the new engine, that mayn't be an issue anymore.. but at this point I doubt they'll be changing it. Kinda hope they don't, too. Roegadyn aren't Galka, and while they may have been made similar to make transitioning players feel more comfortable back at release, there's no longer any reason at all to impose details from FF XI's races on the current ones, especially now that they're established. For that same reason I don't support any other retroactive changes to the races either. They are what they are and messing with them would only devalue the game thematically.

so how could they keep cat tails? and dont monsters have tails?

female roggadyns look even more human. it is only theire nose that gives off some veird vibe.

[Arcell]

Roegadyn =/= Galka. They decided they didn't want to go with tails for this one.

Miqo'te =/= Mithra. Since the cat part is a big part of that race, they decided to keep the tails.

Similar but not the same. Simple as that.

oh please. galkas were lizard men. arent their lizard part a big part of that race? at least if you cut off the tail on a cat man they´d still have animal ears, while lizard men becomes human with a vierd nose.¨

the red and green colour of roggadyn gives off cleary that they wer supposed to be lizard men, but something made them decide to cut of tail to make them green humans.

However Roegadyn aren't lizard men.

so are you satisfied that roggadyns are simply bulkier hyurs?
