Future Races for FFXIV

[Zeonx]

I would like to see a race called Remnants of Jenova her legacy.

Story a woman was born from Jenova project but during the destruction of the plant her memories were lost and she became a house wife.

then generations passed and her legacy kept going new race.

1. Harpie Race whose appearance is based off of primal Garuda and angels. They could originate from some unknown floating island in the sky.

2. Some sort of sea people. Kind of like the ones from Dragon Quest X, except have jewel like objects embedded across their bodies.

3. Tree and flower people! Dryads~ This race could excel in sorcery like Exdeath and introduce a type of shield producing rune knight or warlock type tank job class based off of Exdeath's fighting style in FF Dissidia.

4. Viera with two aestically different looking clans based off of the concept art made of them years ago.

5. A demon race based off of the original concept art for Auri. They could come from the Void and unlike their voidsent brethern they don't need a constant influx of aether to maintain solid form in Hyadelon.

6. Espers, like the ones from FF6.

7. Jenova race. Liked that idea from the person above. A parasitic race who takes on the many and varying unique aesthetic looks and features of other races and eventually meshes them all together to become one original race with interchangeable aesthetics!

9. A primate type race based off of FF9's Zidane and Wukong from Journey to the West. They look closely like monkeys and are short and cute, but taller than Lalafell. If any of you have played FF Dissidia, think of Zidane's limit break form as this race's basic look.

10. An aggressive and fierce looking Werewolf type race larger in sized in comparison to the Miqo'te, but smaller and less hairy than the Lupin beastmen tribe.

I honestly hope to see moombas as a beastman race. They receive so little love in FF-games, despite being amazing. ;_;

Best boy for next race!

Drew this last week but didn't have a proper reason to put it on the FFXIV forum even though it's FFXIV related, lol.

EDIT: Nvm. Thought my signature was gone...

If they were to add a playable beast tribe, why not the wolf people in Yanxia? I mean hte story is set up already for them. Some of them working for Zenos. They change sides, have a reason to be around now.

Are these guys a beast tribe though? I know they're obviously furry and whatnot, but they have the most "human" skeleton we've ever seen.

[RitsukoSonoda]

Lilties and Yukes from the FF Crystal Chronicles series.

Bangaa, Seeq, Viera, Nu Mou, Gria, and more humanoid playable moogles from FFTA series

Dwarves from multiple previous games in the FF series. Stout people with impressive beards. Yes even the women have impressive beards... >.>

Burmecian from FFIX

Guado and Ronso from the FFX series

Sentient machines - Actually a selectable race in the FF legend series back on Game Boy and also on Chronotrigger

Mystics - Chronotrigger though most kind of just looked like elves

The mushroom people in Secret of Mana.

we will never get a true beast race or any diverse race that isnt "cosplaying human" Because thats work. and yoshi p hates work.

Give us a fox man and boom...u suddenly have to model armor differently, make new and current emotes work with body structure and so on.


Au ra has a human like face..emotes are easier to tweak between races...armor is easier to tweak between races.


TLDR yoshi p is lazy so we will continue to get cosplaying human

I wouldn't say he's lazy. I would say he's playing it smart.
People like things that are attractive - the amount of players that would play a beast or furry class is much smaller than those who would play something like a Miqo'te or Au Ra. If you have multiple attractive classes, that's more money in their pockets because people are more likely to Fantasia back and forth.
