Mammalian Viera-like beast men.

BECAUSE

A) There is no point in a new intelligent race, we need customization and racial quests/storyline, not pointless additions of another pointless race.

That's your opinion. Personally, I would switch in a heartbeat to a beast race, because I'm bored of having the same races FFXI had. In addition, customizations to existing races should be added regardless.

B) Beastly looking races dont exactly help the cause of "Garleans think were Beastmen, wtf"

We've already established that Garleans are evil dudes who don't like us anyway. Why is their opinion important again?

C) I seriously doubt the question in the poll was even geared towards adding another intelligent race
for the most part the were asking about what kind of beastment to add, but everyone is so god damned hyped about Bunnys and lizards being playable they forgot what the main premise was in the first place?

WHAT KIND OF BEASTMEN SHOULD BE ADDED

Q2. What type of race or clan would you most like to see added in the future? *

That's the question. It's not about beastmen.

Not necessarily. just because its a sexy bunny doesn't mean it will look EXACTLY like a viera or miqo'te
fur, male counterpart facial hair, teeth that make them more beastly. Look at garuda's concept art. Shes sexy but shes definitely no miqo'te now is she? Even the they could be bunny amazons, we haven't seen any concept art have we? Do we know for a fact that they are going to be like miqo'te. NO. I can say that they should be sexy though if they're gonna be bunnies.

Maybe...

Maybe...

You never know. Though Franks too dirty to be ff style xD

Your boredom matters just as much as my opinion. Your boredom kinda doesn't matter to priorities. You will have GREATER CUSTOMIZATION.
if you are bored with an /airqoutes "xi race" that can be customized beyond your wildest ffxi imaginations then theres just no pleasing you.

Pretty sure I remember the options talking about beastmen.
its what compelled me to make this thread in the first place.
Race doesn't specifically mean intelligent or beastmen, it means race.
Even if so, snowbunnys still amazing.

The biggest Problem with Race/Clan dynamic in this game is that it means nothing.

All it should mean is we look different, we don't need different races treated differently.

Just like real life. :O

If they add Ivalice style moogles as a playable race... they can have all my money.

If they would have made an ivalice aliance mmo from the start I would do alot of unpleasent things for this game.

[UmJammerSully]

there has to be a reason other than aesthetics to just add another intelligent race to the game.

Um... Why? Aesthetics are nice too. They could add 10 whole new races and it wouldn't have any sort of negative impact on the gameplay. I don't see the problem with adding new races just for the hell of it. Sometimes more fluff that doesn't really have any bearing on gameplay is still a good thing, it gives character to the game. It's just not as important as actual content.

Maybe someday far down the road, but from a current development standpoint its irrelevent.

using WoW as a base here, dont flame me. but im pretty sure that they didn't add races til burning crusade, which was what the second expansion? If they ask us about adding a race now, it probably means they want to start working on it, but its not nessesary in the least. Want more variety? Develop more jobs for people to get exited about.

:| But they have moogles in the game already and they're original FF-style, not Ivalice-style at all. If they brought in Ivalice-style moogles, then they should give them a totally different name altogether or else I'd be pissed. It wouldn't make any sense with the game lore.
