    The 'no more races' being added is disheartening and makes it hard to look forward to any additions. New jobs just don't interest me. I am likely in the minority though, and I'm also bias coming from WoW (GRANTED they also ignored a ton of race requests but at least there was a huge variety to pick from and some really neat ones added, with the future exciting because anything could be added, really.) Of note, I'm not interested in returning to WoW for a variety of reasons, but that was one of the exciting aspects of it.

    That said - I would roll one, yeah! They look adorable. I personally really don't like lalafel, nor do I find them 'cute', but having a tiny race that I'd be willing to play would be fun.
    Granted, why these folks rather than the Qiqirn?

    For the love of gods, this game should be more alt-friendly. At least drop the story requirements if you've completed it on one character & share shop purchases with the entire account, bare minimum.

    My thoughts are for them to deepen the customization on the races we already have instead of adding yet more.

    Adding new races is an exciting thing to announce and a feature that helps sell expansions, but it thins the lore and customization for the races we already have, as well as adds ongoing cost to the budget for developing new glamour. I personally hope we never get a new race.

    I'm sure the devs understand the value that a race like Hrothgar adds to the game. Races that aren't "pretty" are always lower pop in pretty much every MMO, but you have to keep in mind that many of those people wouldn't be playing the game at all without that option, whereas adding another pretty race largely just shuffles around the players of the current pretty races. Remember how male Viera took a chunk out of the catboy population?

    As another example, in WoW the most popular races by a mile are Blood Elves, Night Elves, and Humans. However, the game also lets you play all sorts of freaks like werewolves, minotaurs, zombies, goblins, etc. If Blizzard announced tomorrow that they were deleting all those other races but allowing everyone a free change to the most popular three, how many of them do you think would take it? Maybe some, but I'm guessing most would just quit. Those other races may be less popular but they're bringing in and retaining players who want to play something different.

    It is healthier in the long run for an MMO to have a variety of playable races to choose from. IMO that's one of FFXIV's weakest points and hopefully they add more distinctly non-human races in the future. Burmercians would be a great pick as long as they give them the proper rat legs.

    It would be amusing to have rat people with so many cat girls. We have even lionesses wandering around.

    Burmecians aren’t short. They’re on the taller side. They would just be “Viera but more animal-y” which I’m not sure is something we need.

    We also need to consider how they can introduce the Burmecians that would fit with the lore. Like for example if they said that the Burmecians came from another star and arrive at the source recently. How would that effect the story from ARR to Dawntrail?

    I always assumed they would be tied to Meracydia somehow, given its association with dragons (and by extension possible dragoons), invasions, summons being used as weapons of war, and finally the place becoming a wasteland when Burmecians are known to be able to survive in the desert. It's even mentioned that Meracydia is home to several different, but mostly unknown races so they could pretty much decide to have anything living out there.
