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

[Jennah]

Didnt you See meteion is garuda when she was little i think

Well, it's spoilers, but anyone who has seen Meteion at all should already know this:

Nah, but Hermes really liked bird-girls. One fraction of his soul went on to be Amon, who quite likely created the Ixal in the Allagan's Fractal Continuum - possibly the real Garuda as well, unless she was just another Allagan. His soul remembers. Subconsciously, at least.

idk if this is a spoiler or not bc i have no idea waht youre talking about

but they said no new races ever again but they also said they wouldn't do a lot of things that were done and worked out

i want loporrit as playable, bc i wouldnt have to worry about cosmetics as much being so fuzzy and adorable

I'm fairly certain they said we are not going to get more playable races.

You would be correct. They said after adding Male Viera and Female Hrothgar, they won't be adding any further races due to the sheer difficulty of adjusting old gear and having to update each new race with hairstyles and so forth.

to be fair, given this is a long running mmo statements like this are allways subject to change.

Considering it has been nearly three years and Viera still can't wear most hats, I wouldn't count on them changing their mind for a long, long time.

I'm fairly certain they said we are not going to get more playable races.

Up for debate. If they are continuing FFXIV for the next 10 years as they say they are then I'm sure there's room for another race or two.

[Seraphor]

You can't have finished the 5th zone yet if you think there's any possibility of this.

Massive spoilers:

Meteion isn't a race, and barely a living thing, she's a construct, made of Dynamis instead of Aether. It's a pretty fundamental thing that would prevent her from:
Being a fragment of Azem
Speaking to Hydaelyn

It's like being a Padjal, but dialed up to 11, not going to happen.

[MaikoRaines]

TL;DR - No. Please no.

Long reply - We have a variety of races to choose from. I don't think we need another added race. I'd rather the resources be focused on other things than someone creating another MEGATHREAD for "Petition for BIRB Race".

Also, for the sake of not spoiling the story, but it's not.... viable.

We have more than enough races.

Please stop.

[SherlottaEryut]

When male and Viera female are sorted out and completely up to date with hairstyles and atleast *SOME* hats, then yeah SE can implement whatever race they want I don’t care.

But until then… no

[SherlottaEryut]

….and Hrothgar. My bad

[Naoki34]

It would not be a legit race at all, it is a real sponge of resentment, a hypersensitive race. They will faint or go mad at the first encounter with the first Ascian they meet in ARR.

[SeverianLyonesse]

….and Hrothgar. My bad

Thank you. Hrothgar are people too.
