Please give us dog girl/dog boy races

[Zebraoracle]

I mean, we can just bury it tbh

You know, return to the topic at hand, sorry for derailing\entertaining low-level FSH bait.

So uh... given how the thread went, where do we stand? Rat folk or Dog folk?

Warwick or Twitch cosplayers, anyone? Who wins?

I'm kind of indifferent to both races, personally. Give me a lizard (bangaa) race! Honestly seeing something that isn't just "human with x animal feature thrown on" would be an improvement though.

They already confirmed that female hroth is the gonna be the last race/gender for FFXIV so were probably not gonna get it sadly.

I dont think it was ever 100% that there was never gonna be another race.
They just explained that the process of making one, and fitting armor to the bodies is alot of work and a huge undertaking. So the Viera and Hrothgar "MAY" be the last races. And I think there was mention that if they could find a way to lighten the load, they could consider new races.

I dont remember the whole quote with 100% accuracy. But I dont recall there being a definitive statement that they would never make another race.
Just like how they never said definitively that they wouldn't make the "Missing Genders"
But, if I missed something; like a new statement, then Ill accept being wrong.

Ive said it quite a few times, that Bangaa would be pretty cool. And just like the Lupin, we already have some models in game. Just touch them up/update them, add some customization options. And BOOM.
I think They would be well liked....but of course its a beastrace, so it probably wouldn't have MASSIVE appeal, but it would be great fanservice, and another cool non-human option

First page of the thread:

Give us dog girls with floppy ears and animated tail wag idles!

Updated and customizable Lupin?

No, something akin to miqo'te or hyur bodyshape and face-wise, but with floppy dog ears and perpetually wagging tail animation!

Welp, guess Im pulling out of this Campaign XD

If they ever decide to make another race (hopefully after fixing the ShB races and adding Hrothgals), then I would prefer that they chose a more "beastly" race like the Burmecians.

Me, awaiting the rage storm that will occur when said race will inevitably be missing features like Hrothgar and Viera were/are:



(This was a joke. I know I have to say it clearly because people don't know how to perceive the obvious, and thus they will get offended if I don't)

In all seriousness, if we were to actually get a dog-like race, I think it'd be better if it was more like what the OP wants, one similar to the standard races we already have. SE is too lazy and/or incompetent to do beast-like races properly, as Hrothgars have shown us, so it's for the best if they make a race that'll actually be a complete package and not missing features the other races have.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Even if Burmecians were developed for FFXIV as a player race, they would look completely different from their previous iterations (most likely given a Lalafell body with human hands and feet, claws only being attached to their racial gear). Their chances of getting headgear would be even slimmer than Hrothgar, because of how unique their headshape would be. Also, tails would be regularly cut off, like what we're seeing happen to the other tailed races with certain outfits.

Funny thing to note, Burmecians and Cleyrans aren't short at all. The chibi-esque art direction Final Fantasy 9 uses might give the impression that everyone from that game is short, but Freya is over 6 feet tall. If Zidane was depicted as his actual height in Dissidia instead of staying faithful to FF9's style, he'd be the same height as Cloud.

Wow. These FF races make me feel short.
I guess an enlarged/stretched Lalafell body would be there go to model. How would that look...?

Hmm...I could see it working for our beloved rats.

No more beastial races. Hrothgar were/ are a headache to bring in & even now are still very much a limited race. WoW is having an expansion with everything you could want if it's a deal breaker & even have the dog faces many are looking for.



I'll pass on Lupin tyvm.


I'd rather SE stick with what it does best.
