Future Races for FFXIV

[Johnist]

Anyone who has leveled up the SCHOLAR Job knows about how the "Tonberry" Race became Tonberry. I was hoping in a future EXPANSION we could possibly get Tonberry as a Playable Race.

Also, anyone who has leveled up WHITE MAGE Job knows about the race (Padjal) that the Elder Seed Seer and the CNJ Guildmaster are (forgot the actual name of the race) but it would be nice to see them added as a Playable Race in the future as well.

Other than those, we have the Garlean Race that could be added to the game.

This is what the Ishguardian look like.

I would LOVE for the South or West to have Poroggo (from XI) and Qu (Quina's race, if that's the correct name, from IX) battling each other in a war of gourmet goodness! I'd play a He/she in a heartbeat! /cook

its pretty widely believed that Viera are going to be a future available race in the game.

I think i'm the only person who doesn't like this race...at all, i really don't know why..they just don't appeal to me...and i play a kitty Miqote which playing that furry race you would think it would appeal to me.

Padjal on the other hand...yes please!...or Gria...anything humanoid looking with horns is fine with me.

Nope, you're not the only one. Viera look weird to me with those long big ears on a human head. Maybe its the placement of the ears on the head, but it looks odd.

I wanna be a male viera so bad.

YES PLEASE! GIMME MY BUNNY EARS! XD

[Kaoru_Nagisa]

YES PLEASE! GIMME MY BUNNY EARS! XD

Yes please. I'd actually roll both a female and a male Viera if they looked like that. As it stands now, I'm not really fond of how female miqo'te faces are built. (Plus since viera have no tails, we won't have more dead pipecleaners attached to our rear ends)

Ick, I certainly hope not. That'd be like taking Lightning and turning her into a permanent presence in Eorzea. FFXIV should be FFXIV, not "an opportunity to parade around the most desirable characters of our other ~totally imaginative and not at all self-referencing~ games".

Let's see something new! The possibilities are quite literally endless.

It would be most likely (and only natural) that the Padjal are going to be playable. After all, body-wise they're Hyurs, so it wouldnt take a lot, or -any- coding to have armor fit on them and such.

I think this would be even more of a cop-out than those bunny people...

awesome dude

I loved playing as that guy. His animations were so cool. xD

Introducing any new races would require heavy explanation of where they came from, why Eorzea is somehow allowing this new race of people to march through its lands completely unchecked, and why members of this new race would be willing to fight under the Eorzean banner against Garlemald.

That's what story-telling is for. There are people who make a living doing that. They are called writers! I say give them a chance to be creative for once, instead of relying on re-used FF assets. Also, there are at least two other continents on Eorzea we know nothing about.
