[POLL] Which new races would you like the most for FFXIV [2.0.]

[Amsai]

Based purely on the results of the poll I would have gone Burmecian. However, we already have a perfectly good rat race called Quiqirn. A playable race I would really like to see. On the other hand, I would be even more excited, if they would make Goblins as a playable race. Either one of these would work well, because they are already in the game, and so are their models. In addition to this, while they might be classified as beastmen, they seem to be neutral for the most part, as indicated by all the non-aggressive ones in the field and the friendly ones in towns and such. The only real exception is Bloatbelly. Even though I know its unlikely to happen, I think Goblins and Qiqirn would be awesome.

How about design new stuff for a new game? This attitude is why we only get a billion sequels of everything these days. I remember days when every FF game had original content and the game industry grew exponetionally on new ips. Now the old ideas are struggling to sell and publishers are afraid to invest in anything new. It's partly our fault really.

I bump* my old thread because people keep to open a new post almost every day about one race.

So now we know, Yoshida considers to implement lizard alike races like the bangaa, instead of the vieras who won at the poll.


I think its a quiet good decision.. if you think about it.. viera's are also a feline race like miquote.. and the ronso are very lion/cat alike (like miquote as well).
Lizard races would make a real distinction between all other races.. and would be really somethin new.
whats your opinion about yoshi P. ' s statement?

Have you considered making a voting link instead of multiple posts? Adding them at different times makes it pretty impossible to have long (consistent) lists.. lol

+Yuke/Vivi
+Moogle knights
+Draconic race Yoshida was originally talking about
+Anything rough/vicious as we already have 1 manish (roe) and 4 glamour pixies

-Viera (not because I think they suck, I think they can be another race added later.. but we already have Mithra, we need more men before we need more courtesans in the miners district)

None, improve whats already available. Quality > Quantity, always.

Pretty sure Yoshida said a new race with an expansion and no expansion is planned anytime soon after release.. so no worries there. This thread is safe :P

Screw Banga, I want Mamool Ja! xD

I wouldn't want to see any of these races added exactly as they were before. I would like to see something new and fresh.
It's a bit hard to imagine these in the game ... guado/viera since they overlap with elezen, tall/slender with varying ear/arm proportions ... bermecian because the qiqirn beastman are almost exactly that ... moogles because they area already in the game ... the padja seem to just be hyur that grew horns, not sure it's a race ... ronso/cowlike races are very roegadyn ... gria or winged races just seem so impractical when it comes to equipment and screen space, unless it's something like 'you can only see the wings when they are naked' or something like that.
Yoshi-P said he was leaning toward a reptilian race. This would add a bit of variety, so i wouldn't mind seeing how it turns out. I would not want bangaa though. I would want something more humanoid and less beastman-like. Bangaa remind me of those beastman from ffxi, and i think they would be a bit too similar to amal'ja and ixali ... I also think, while colorful and well drawn ... they are still ugly D:

I would love more options with current races. Extreme size differences, hairstyles, eyes, colors, and base face structures! Also, old people that look old, and not just a bag of wrinkles or anything xD.

Did Yoshi update his wording, or was there a mistranslation? Because I swore Yoshida said "dragon" and "draconic" both.. lol. I'm reading reptilian from people now.

Also just like Miqote tails, wings can work because the race's armor would be built around them (little wing holes).

Totally agree with you though on those styles and specially old! Hell yeah.. Really thought it was lame we got all pinned into the same age group. Do it for Louis SE. :P

ehm have you seen at what time i did the entire poll postins? there just have been 1-2 minutes between them ... and not days or hours.


hm a dragonic race? something like that? :



Although i wouldnt chose a race like that to be honest^^

+Yuke/Vivi

does not work at all... "vivis" look all the same.. yukes also... so it would mean there are no customization options at all in the char creation.. they just distinguish between the armor they wear.. that does not work for an MMO
