Why wasn't it Ivalice?

Please stop giving idea that moogle will be playable race

Dear SE, please make moogles a playable race. Thank you.

And surely the Bangaa would be an impressive alternate to Elvaan . .

Get the hell out of here.

Yeah they already did that. It's called FF12.

LOL, I was going to say something to the extent of since a lot of us are complaining about an FFXI clone why would we want a clone of FFXII and Tactics. Quite honestly I don't even want a complete FFXI clone now somethings I wouldn't mind having like the game aka being able to kick people out of the ls when they're not on and such or not when they're right next to you but story and races and all that i wouldn't mind seeing some different playable ones.

Would have been nice to have an Ivalice MMO .. Yes.
Does it matter .. No

What with the latest poll suggesting Viera to be the favoured addition to new races in the future there is still a chance to change the existing world into a merger of both styles.

Does anyone actuallly know hte proper names of galka and mithra and tarutaru?

I read somewhere that they kept the same races intentionally because they anticipated a huge influx of FFXI players. Specifically players who grew attached to their characters over several years. They hoped that it would be welcomed that people could recreate their old characters and it would make for a more comfortable transition.

Well, not to agree with the OP (because I don't) but this argument (which, truth be said, was something Tanaka once did mention) didn't really find itself realized in the game. I tried long and hard to recreate my XI character, they way they supposedly intended me to, to little avail. After coming up with options that were more travesties than recreations, I decided to go with a new race, a new name, and a new beginning.

hey, nobody said it was perfect . I agree, though, there was a lot promised about the game at launch that uh....didnt quite make it in . LOL

if I remember straight, not only was it so XI players could recreate their character, but at one time I think it was mentioned that the plan was to allow us to port our XI characters in, not just the name, and even log into XIV from XI... All really ambitious and eventually scrapped.

Yup the original idea was you could take your player and hop back and forth between XI and XIV but they said it was way too complicated. They probably brainstormed and picked the idea apart until all that was left was your name and face would transfer over so they just scrapped the idea.
