Future Races for FFXIV

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

More than anything, I think they've written themselves into a corner with playable character designs because of the story distinction between "men" and "beastmen". Anything from Roegadyn to Lalafell to semi-monster-with-human-face Au Ra are considered "men" (and women) but anything outside of that human-shaped, human-faced template is a beastman. It's an odd distinction when the beastmen can be just as intelligent and individual as other characters, but it exists, and a lot of things in the story wouldn't work if the player-character is a beastman without *massive* adjustments to the game script.

Lupin. Yes I know we got a werewolf costume but I want that face and muzzle. I want to see a werewolf do the /joy expression and wiggle his ears!

I want Ivalice Moogles.

They could kind of work as a playable race? Their proportions are roughly the same as a Lalafell. They could just touch up the models from Zodiac Age, adjust the Lala armour models, add ear holes for helmets and ta-dah! New short and cute race all ready to go.

I'd actually really like the Ivalice moogle design as well. I was a bit disappointed back when FFXI was first released because I had hopes of moogle being a playable race. However they would need to make moogle noises when doing things because... I need more ways to torment certain ppl with moogle noises than using moogle weapon glamours... >.>

Personally I just want to add "kupo" to everything I say and for it to not feel artificial. It feels... a little off when it's coming from a 7 foot dragon in a Moogle suit.
