IDEA! New races~

[Xerius]

I like the idea of new races but I doubt we'll see them anytime soon. We'll probably get costumed versions or something though.

Hey, during a interesting conversation in one of my LS today, we got to the conclusion that there are a lot of races from other Final Fantasy games that could be added to XIV.

These are some that we saw that could be potentially loved by players.

Of course, this is an idea for the far future, and it would really cool if more things from old FF games were to appear in XIV, creating more of a connection between all of them.

Thank you for sharing this totally amazing idea that nobody has ever come up with before.

Oh wait...

//wants non-humanish races, including guess which

Uhhh, Padjal are already in the game, so how would they be a 'new race'??

My mind exploded when he said dragon human type. Does anyone have the quote to that on file? I just want to fall over again in disbelief.

Dragon races are almost a taboo subject for mmos lol

It may be taboo for dragon races on mmo's but not rpgs period though I would say it could be because there's really only a few things that they could be called especially if you include the name dragon in it... I think it's mostly copyrighted to TSR/Wizards On the Coast for the D&D/AD&D Series. They did invent the Draconians after all.

though to be on topic atleast I'd rather see some hybrid races of this world than seeing completely new ones. Maybe later on in an expansion perhaps but meh just my opinion

You can't play them can you? so it's a new race lol they may be NPCs but not a playable new race.

I say no on the Ivalice races just doesn't fit. But I do believe we need more beast like races. One of the things that saddened me most in this game is they took out a lot of distinction that taru-taru's, mithra, and galka's had from being just humans.

One race i'd like to see is a bird race, Yagudo would be really cool to play haha

I'm not sure they're talking about making the mammilian-human race they're introducing playable either. In fact, I'm pretty sure they were taking it as suggestions for beast tribes.

Ixali are birds.

Ixali are birds.

it's not that I don't like the ivalice races, far from it I do believe them to be very unique. It's just we're already dealing with a mirror of Vana'Diel so we might as well embrace it or add new races

Well Gria were a Final Fantasy race, and they were dragon-humans. So it wouldn't REALLY be a stretch to have them in another FF.
