So Long, and thanks for eating all my fish!! (Race Bonus thread)

Borrowing races =/= direct clone. If you also recall, there weren't any female Galka. Now we're getting female Roegadyn. They've become their own thing now.

Chocobos look different with each iteration, moogles look different, Cid looks different. Why are Roegadyn/Galka special?

Galka to Roegadyn had the most drastic change from original to modified for FFXIV races. The change in arm and leg length. Missing tail. Less pronounced fur. Between all the Character Races it is the very least like its progenitor. Mobs and NPC's do not matter as much because they do change between titles quite often and look different each time. We're talking about Races which were copied for the sole purpose of making their FFXI players feel at home. For Galka players, we do not.

So far all the complaints I've heard about tails is, "BUT TEH SU ULGIY!"

Galka players liked how they looked and we would like the ability to continue our Fantasy into this new title like everyone else. I advocate the option of tails in character creation so those who prefer the newer tail-less look won't have anything thrust upon them.

It doesn't matter how people to try to convolute the concept.

Galka = Roegadyn

Different name, different game, same race.

NEVER!

My dream is to be smooth as a Ken doll down there with a 4 foot tail! I'll mine Electrum for Gil and make sweet sweet love to my Firery, yet tender dormant Volcano on my own home stead. She may be a bit old but her mantle plumes could drive a man wild!

Dress it up how every you like cat girl is still a cat girl, my issue is the sheer amount of people rolling cat girls...and why wouldnt you they have the best animation set ive seen so far for combat. the galka's look like there in post mordom, the male elves are more feminine than the females, High landers are left handed , Tarus are too small to see what there doing, and Midlanders are like OMG back to basics.

And soon it will be crawling with cat guys. 88% of guys playing miqote will go maleqote including myself. The only reason I picked miqote was the way armor looked on them. All gear looks good like it fits. Sure heavy gear looks great on a galka but cloth just looks retarded and so on.

I doubt it, people may rerole just for a change in scenery, but that's my whole point. the race with the best cosmetic/animation sets will always win out over those without. sure each race carries its own unique flavor but that's obviously not enough to diversify Eorzia. that's why i had wanted information or suggestions on Racial Bonus, Racial Quests, or Racial Incentives.

like everything else on these forums however it was blown out of proportion by the Don't want like game X/Do want like game Y people. i dont care about what people roll, i do care about 90% of the server Being either Lalafel (likers of this race say they lag less) or miqo'te (Likers of this race say they like the animation skill sets and cosmetic looks?) and thats all fine in well. it doesnt ruin the game it doesnt cuase me harm in any way, it doesnt make anyone better than the next. but what it does do is ruin my immersion. i bought FF14 not Neko/Loli fantasy 14.

i want diversity, there are more than just 2 races. whether that's achieved by a handicap, a skill set, a set of race specific quests, doesn't matter which so long as it happens.

I had two reasons for rolling a Miqo'te,

1: I wanted to carry over the names and appearances of my two main characters from XI

2: when it came to highlanders you only have a choice of stupid braids, a stupid pompadour, bald.... Or a comb over? Really? A comb over. Also can anyone explain to me why they shave off their eyebrows?

To be hardcore.

Also I picked Miqo'te for similar reasons, but I wouldn't have picked Miqo'te if I had seen their animation set, it's waaaay too J-pop.

When 2.0 comes I'm thinking of either switching to male Roegadyn or male Miqo'te.
