New Race! Ronso? Yes please.

[valetarkus]

I have read a lot on the forums on if SE where to add a new race which race would it be? And in response to that i have heard suggestion of adding the Viera (cute bunny people that honestly in battle i don't feel is super intimidating) or the Man-Lizard things (forgot what those are called) but i haven't seen, unless i missed it, anyone consider the Ronso, that super bad @$$ race from final fantasy 10!

The Ronso are sick! I was playing FFX today and was like "holy crap i forgot how sweet these things are!" Huge fury-beefy-lion-tiger-animal things that could crush a Lalafel in one swift kick would be a force to be reckoned with. There is just something awesome and powerful about controlling a mean looking beast like that.

Customized?
And the whole duel gender thing is already set. The race already comes complete with both male and female. And as far as customization goes. I know their blue, but what about different colors? Ever wanted to be a black, white, red, purple, or orange Ronso? That's not enough you say? Oh lets add stripes or spots. How about a longer horn? yes please! I feel like this would be SICK!

Oh the Possibilities are endless! Please let's hear your feedback from all! good or bad!

Being a XI (race) purest I thought I would never say this. . . You sir just made an epic suggestion. Maybe the male mithras will look like these guys. They do look bad ass!

Tonberries and Bunnies. . . No thanks.

Why not add both? Viera + Ronso on the same expansion? Still adding too many races could bring new problems, as WoW experienced and I'm sure Yoshi knows about, and it's the future distribution of NPC's, if somehow one race gets less npc's than other or have less importance on a story or similar, there will be whining and complaining for sure.

Also Yoshi said that every thing he wanted to add, should be tied to the world and lore, and I'm not saying that adding Ronso could not be done, same as with Viera or other races, but that it should be done really carefully.

Still I'm always up for more variety in the game. And also Ronso were not discussed before as I recall, so, good catch!

I want something completely new. I'm curious about the "draconic" race.

Draconic race maybe Gria? But I feel Kan-e-Senna and the others are already a Draconic race, or similar.

Another cool one would be Burmecian? There are plenty of races in FF

Races from other FF titles are not new races. Having said that anything is better than wabbits.

I would rather have Ronso over Viera, but I'd still be happiest having an entirely new race instead, exclusive to the XIV lore. Viera (bunny boys/girls) are way too similar to the Miqo'te (cat boys/girls) in my opinion. Draconian would still be humanoid, but would take a different direction to the others, and offer more variety for the players. Having a dragon or reptilian character would be a far wiser decision, I believe. I know that a lot of the races we have now are quite similar, but if we ARE given the opportunity to have something new, I'd like it to be something worthwhile.

All for Ronso here, great suggestion. Alot better than Viera or dragon race.

I could stand to see the Ronso in FFXIV. Pretty cool race. For some reason, I get the impression they'd make new race altogether though if they were to do this.
