I heard they were adding a new race at some point

[Akuha]

Has there been any hint what it might be? I saw it in another thread here a day or two ago (can't remember which one), someone said they were planning on releasing a new race when they released more jobs. I think adding the Padjal would be awesome. It's the only other human-like (not counting beast tribes) race I've seen that isn't available to us.

I would hope it's Padjal....Pleaseeee Padjal.
But people keep going around saying Viera race from FFXI. Not sure anymore than that.

Edit: I meant FFXII. Sorry, sorry people who are about to drone force kill me.

They can't do Padjal. There aren't enough of them to justify the Padjal being a playable race.

Well I hope it's not Viera.
I'm on the fence with Viera.
Would like a new unique race that's unique and not borrowed from another game.

On top of the fact the race is ugly as all hell.

every race so far has been adapted from 11 so I'd say that expecting a lack of adaptation from previous setup is unlikely


I am kind of hoping for Gria myself though.

Viera was in final fantasy tactics its been a long time race in the final fantasy franchise. You say you don't want stuff borrowed from other games, yet the main races for this game are direct rip offs of FFXI different names and additional gender options but thats it. Not to mention FF13 2 lightning returns or whatever events coming, not to mention dragon quest events coming so meh.

Personally I would love a viera dragoon or a vierra thief/assassin/ninja if they ever released those classes. Just my 2 cents

Yet there is enough last dragoons to justify thousands and thousands of dragoon soul stones?

they were in original in-engine screenshots from way before 1.0 when it was just a test sandbox

people are clinging on to nothing

The lore from the WHM quest line makes it so it can't be padjal.
