I have 1 problem with FF14 races.

[RedLolly]

I'm just really bummed about there STILL only being one short race to pick, and that said short race is the only one that's comparatively cartoonish in design among the options. I think it's my hill I'll die on as far as character customization goes.

So I always jump on supporting any new race ideas that aren't 6 foot+ anything. Actually really like the Lilty/plant people suggestion I've seen a few times especially.



I always pick dwarves when they're an option. Lalafell were retrofitted into being dwarves in ShB, but what I want is Tolkien-esque/DnD dwarves. Short, squat, square, but clearly people and not so stylized even within the art-style that FFXIV has going. I don't even know if I want "cute."

my issue with races is theres no real different between tribes.

viera for example: they're basically the same thing. we should of had the jungle viera and cityfolk/the short viera breed.

there needs to be a more clearly different between race tribes.

Aura - oh we have purple scale and white chocolate scale. why can't the purple scale be more muscular in design or something.


male viera - male viera in lore are the stay at home "mum" so why not have a shorter male viera rather than having kpop or jpop male viera choices







also dog race is generic, burmecians would of been really cool and different

I'm going to let you finish, but max height M Vieras ARE still shorter than max height F Vieras, but you rarely see a max height woman in-game since they prefer to be min or middle height on the scale.

I made my female Miqo'te max height, wouldn't mind if she was even taller/more toned.

I know female Hrothgar are a thing, I even changed to one for a little while when the game launched, but the lack of hairstyles (including ones I had earned or bought) and the oversized gear issue made me change back.

I'm kinda sad that there won't ever be races added again :/ While a dog race isn't really that interesting to me, something like a kitsune (yes yes I know, another animal-ears-and-tail race) would be so much fun. Or the Lupin, those wolf folk are awesome and I'd play them.

But I think it was said that it's not happening. I love the allied races system in WoW and while there's still races that haven't made it that people really want, at least the option was always there and people could speculate/be excited. Now..what? Look forward to yet another class that I doubt I'll play at all or be interested in? Like what else can they add now that everything feels the same and anyway why should I be excited when the content isn't rewarding? Hm ><

Yoshida took back the "no new races ever again" during one of the DT fanfests, actually. It's "up to us" whether they'll add more, is what he said. Whatever that means.

Burmecians being small seems to be a common misconception, presumably due to the heavily stylized FFIX art style portraying all the characters as short and squat. They're actually around Hyur Highlander height. Freya specifically is 6’1’’ and the other Burmecians you encounter are generally around her height give or take.

I stand corrected. Honestly, I think I like that fact that they're taller even more. Better to show of your glams.

Ooooh... it's one of those threads!
I'd like to play as a Mamool Ja personally! Gonna call my guy Gohall Ja.
Bangaa would be cool too.

Admittedly, I dunno how S-E feels about non-humanoid races after the debacle of Viera/Hroth.

Oh nice that's great news - but people were saying again more recently that they doubled down on it or something. I have no source, so, grain of salt, but I really, really hope I'm wrong because personally I would like more races to be added to the game, as that's what excites me far more than new jobs.

I genuinely had no idea why there was a huge spark of 'well now that they're never adding any races again...' recently, given I knew about what you're mentioning, but it made me assume that something more recent/new came out on the matter (again - I hope I'm wrong.)

I don't really want another race that's just hyur with a different set of animal ears. Just add more ear options to Miqote and add other options to the other races.
