Possible idea for future new Race...?

[fusional]

Right, because you speak for everyone. Obviously.

Anyone with some serious and non-trollish feedback to provide?

not trollish whatsoever. realistic.

galka and roegadyn are considered rare by race standards in FF MMOs. why? easy.

they aren't
pretty
to look at

dig?

yeah, some western folks like ugly character models. and the MMOs primarily targeting western audiences usually have the requisite ugly race/s. even then they're uncommon at best, because the human-types and elf-types and midget-types will always see the bulk of use.

so you want an ugly race in a game that is clearly not a western MMO? sure they want XIV to appeal to western gamers, but look at the MASSIVE rift between your WoW crowd and your FF crowd. each hates the other game/type with a pretty intense passion. no matter how you slice it, games have target markets and the target market of FF isn't the western ugly-beasty-humanoid crowd.

would some people still like it? obviously. would some people still choose one? obviously. should it possibly be an option at some point in the future? sure. but proportionally it will be 5% of the population or less. and for the people who desperately want to be the beautiful unique snowflake... fantastic. but in the end that's just wasting development dollars that could be better spent *now*

p.s. just because someone doesn't agree with *your* personal biases, it doesn't mean they're trolling.
