Tonberry, as a playable race.

[Rex]

What better race to be played than a tonberry?

A lot of people want to play a race that doesn't look very human. A tonberry fills this slot.

A beast race that can be every job, where as others stick to certain types.

They don't follow other beastmen.

All their weapons would just be the knife, but can equip any materia and has a good chance to have multiple melds.

Tonberries would look either adoreble/badass in any gear.

They would have the most unique hair selection ranging from "Bald to Bald"

Limit Break would be "Doink"

15 minute ability "Everyones Grudge" - The more a teammate is killed by the same mob, the stronger it becomes.

Lantern Flash as a paladin should have a larger/longer range than any other race.

Better tails than Miqo'tes.

Tonberries are one of THE most iconic races of Final Fantasy
