What NEW races would you like to see?

[Tsukino]

It takes just as much mo-cap, new animations, retooling models and work for new genders as races. (Albeit perhaps twice. IF the new race would have both male and female). Female Roegadyns will need their own mo-cap, pretooling resources, sound, animation, and et cetera. They're not going to use male Roegadyn resources lol. Same for the Male Mi'qotes. I think the point the devs mean to drive at us is creating new genders is just as difficult as creating new races. They require the same amount of unique and individual resources. So if we're going to do one, why not do both? That is their thinking, maybe. And perhaps are leaving that open for future projects.

Actually I'm already aware of that, I just didn't make it very clear. What I meant by the end of that sentence, "...and yet at that point it may not add much to the game in exchange," was that doing work like motion capture and modeling for the two new sexes isn't for just the few of us that are playing now, but the multitudes more they hope to pick up upon "re-launch" for the PS3. Doing that same work for new races later on doesn't seem like it would have as much benefit as there won't ever be another time they have the potential to greatly increase their number of players and thus have enough people use the new ones.

Let's keep it real people... you will never be able to play a beastman (bangaa included) in ff as a main character. How about Padjal? they are already in game.

Padjal actually have more of a problem being implemented than beastmen or any "new" race would, from a lore standpoint. There are only supposed to be a very small number of them (<5 IIRC) because they are "chosen" by the Twelveswood/elementals outside of Gridania. They're not a truly separate race of people that produce offspring; they're regular people that get chosen, grow horns, and stop aging.

Ah I see. Sorry for pointing out the pointless part. >.< I get waaay off topic. But I don't think the PS3 release will be the sole hail mary. Even after that release, they're not off the hook for delivering quality content. (hopefully they'll have air conditioning again)

New races (not just races from other games but fresh new ones), along with races from other games (Viera, Mogs) would go a long way to build some much needed hype for the game and breath some new life into it. Would also be nice to allow people to race change for a fee - for those of us that didn't have that option available to us.

Although there is no use talking about that sort of thing at the moment since it's not something that will occur in the near future. We're talking beyond 1.23-1.24 (if they continue that naming scheme). This is currently nothing more than hype for something almost a year down the road... kinda like talks of Chocobos last September.

PS3 release will determine if this game has a future. That is not an opinion but an undeniable fact.

If they can attract a decent audience and keep them entertained for about 3-6 months with fast patches and lots of content - then they will have won them over.

If they fail to do this. This game will probably go F2P and possibly turn to shit due to lack of funding.

Seriously, I'd like to see a Wolf Race, Either Quadraped like Nanaki/Red XIII, or Bi-ped like modern Werewolves.

For an expansion id be game..

Hmm... Random thought of the day, more use of out companions as part of the core game not just story..

[Cairdeas]

Seeing as Viera is the most popular suggestion. Maybe we should examine the changes that would be made to it to implement it into XIV.

First would be name. I really doubt it'll keep the name Viera.
Second would be proportions. I doubt they are going to be eight feet tall (including ears) They'll probably end up just being a respect of the Elezen body with different heads and tails on the spine, then special hands and feet. Which will put them as about 6'9 (including ears) to 7'5 (including ears)

皆さん、こんばんは。

容姿や種族変更の可能性についてプロデューサーの吉田と確認してきました。

• 髪型・髪色の変更
  今後ゲーム内に床屋を実装することを検討しており、床屋を利用することで自由に変更が可能になる予定です。
• 種族変更
  PS3ローンチにあわせた新種族実装にあわせ、1度だけ種族を変えることができるよう検討をしています。
  また種族を変更するサービスについては皆さんの声の大きさ次第では検討しますとのことです。
• ワールド移転
  PS3ローンチ時になるか、それ以降になるか現段階では何とも言えませんが、もちろん検討していきますとのことです。

種族変更のサービスについて声の大きさ次第で検討と吉田も言っていましたので、
今後もご意見ご要望お待ちしています！

Everyone, good evening.

Yoshida and producer has confirmed the possibility of changing appearance or race.

Hair Color Changing Hairstyle
Is considering a barber in the game to implement future changes will be made freely available to use the barber shop.

Race Changes
Implementation tailored to fit the PS3 launch new species tribe has been considering a race that can be changed only once.
For services to change depending on the size of the tribe also is the voice of you and consider that.

World Transfer
When you become a launch PS3, at this stage but I would hardly 何Tomo later, and will consider is, of course.



Yoshida also said it would consider depending on the size of the voice of change for tribal services,
Feedback We look forward to the future!

The great race consensus:

More Mi'qotes, but with bunny ears.

My reaction.
