Discussing a New Character's Race in the Endwalker MSQ [Spoilers]

[Mazora_Espeon]

Looked pretty interesting to see. Wanted to know everyone’s thoughts!

For those that don’t know, Meteion is the name of the blue bird girl in Endwalker. Her race looks new.

What is it with people wanting everything to be playable? I mean while it would be nice if it is, I, for one, and appreciative for what I have. That and... Lalafell Master Race! *drops mic*

Put a spoiler tag up

[Powercow]

No, almost certainly not.

1: New races take an exorbitant amount of time and resources to make work, and given that they're just *now* getting around to sorta-kinda-maybe fixing Viera hats... I mean, bunny ears are one thing, imagine trying to make gear that works with wings sticking out of your head.
2:

And no, Meteion is rather unique. She had some identical clones also produced, but she was never approved for mass-production and there are no backups of her data for reproduction.

[yajnaji]

We already have Meteion-like playable race in other game.

Xenoblade Chronicles.

[lisaa]

I also really want playable Meteion! But perhaps it can be done with just hat and feet glamour?

[Medura]

I just want Meteion .. as a companion, or at least going around doing stuff ... maybe on the island sanctuary, idk. Just know that finishing the story for me was more about saving Meteion than saving the star, she is my friend!!!

[RitsukoSonoda]

from new npc's added... I'd want playable Loporrits... >.>

[Warlyx]

yeah and those elephant race too while we are at it :P

i dont think SE is going to add new races

Eh, uniqueness matters little as past content doesn't acknowledge your race much like if you go do Ivalice they surprised at Viera but not at player being a Viera, Yugiri in ARR make no mention of your Au Ra status same would happen if they added this or Garlean etc it just wouldn't be brought up outside of the expansion it was introduce in in & beyond.

Xenoblade Chronicles.

That's why I didn't play Xenoblade either (along with its generally disappointing/ugly character designs).

Wings sprouting from the skull are an anatomical nightmare, and imo look ridiculous. I was quite disappointed to see it show up in XIV, and as the final boss no less.

I hope we never see this race ever again. It's hideous.

I love you Yoshi-P, but you tripped at the finish line.
