Tonberry, as a playable race.

Rogedryn completion, amaljas we already see them with job classes, heavy armors would be badass . Clothes would have to be stylized for the race to fit lol.

Make it work...

[Jinrya-Geki]

Yes, Yes I do.


They're north of Emerald Moss - all standing in a circle around a ruin of some sort.
"But they're not tonberries!" I hear you cry; Look closely. Look at the size, the shape, the stance... Go there yourself as Paladin and run through the mobs with Hallowed Ground, take a good look.

Tonberries.

I tried, I don't have paladin level on Jinrya.

I don't think the bard af is any good in the first place lol, Rogedryn bard would look no worse then an almulja (sp)


And the bow would fit fine.

Prerequisite for asking for a new race:

Draw/photoshop/fabricate a picture (or find someone else to do it) of your proposed race doing the following:

*Jumping with a spear while in DRG AF
*Shooting a bow while in BRD AF
*Wielding a Sword and Shield while wearing Heavy Darklight gear
*Crafting while wearing a Dodore Doublet and Cobalt Mesail

If you can't present your race in each of those 4 simple circumstances (without it looking completely absurd), then you haven't put enough thought or effort into your race.



Most people don't even need to see a picture to know that a tonberry in DRG AF jumping around would look A) ridiculous, or B) nothing like a Tonberry.

Ditto with Qiqirn in Heavy Darklight.

ok lmao first off IMO Heavy Darklight gear looks ridiculous in the first place, if you wear to wear something like that you wouldnt even be able to move. secondly though lalafell look adorable in it cause they look like action figures Tonberries wouldnt look much different from Lalafels minus their head pieces. Tonberries use a knife so they can hold a weapon and the lantern just replace a shield its not that difficult. They did have ninja Tonberry in 11 and what do we know about Ninja if your silenced you can use ninjustu, BUT WAIT if tonberries cant talk how can you silence them?! Argument about them not having the ability to speak null and void. Anything A lalafell can do and wear would be about the same for a Tonberry and tonberries will most likely be bigger than lalafell.

Let's just take a moment to mediate on this image:

FEMALE ROEGADYN





Tonberries look awfully attractive now don't they?

This gentleman wins.

[Kirol]

This gentleman wins.

To be fair, he usually does.

I tried, I don't have paladin level on Jinrya.

Then hire a friend to take you up there to check the ruins out yourself. Just have them invincible and running in first.
Watch out for the Marlboros!

Marlboros.

Still, you see what I mean from the screenshot at all?
I'm tellin' ya, it's Tonberries.

How would a turban, cowl, or wood mask work on Amalj'aa?

They aren't gonna remove this stuff from the game after all..


Look, the simple fact is, any new races are going to be slight deviations on the humanoid frame. All armor in the game is a deformation of the Hyur template.

Even the tails and ears of Miqote cause lots of extra work for the devs. Quite frankly, they aren't going to introduce a race that has anything less than 5 fingers (ie. Tonberry), or a long distended face (ie. Qiqirn/ixali/Bangaa), or head appendages (ie Amalj'aa), or webbed hands (ie Sahagin), or wings (ie Gria), or anything else that will drastically impact the 6+ months it currently takes to build new gear.

What they are 99.999% likely to do is introduce a humanoid race like the Padjal (horns in the same place as Miqote ears, very little extra work), or Viera (ditto with Miqote ears, ditto with tail, small deformation on feet), or another heavy Roegadyn-ish race with a different textured skin and maybe a tail (draconic race)

Yea extra work but adding another hyur race for the hell of it is boring, we need something new or not at all. If they introduce a new continent then getting away with hyur is easier, but if they are just adding a race to add a race then make it fresh

[KoujiGeki]

well to be honest the gloves with the fingers would be hard if the race has different fingers, but their are Mitts in the game for tonberries to use.

Solution = restrict new races from wearing certain gear??

I doubt that'll go over well...
