What NEW races would you like to see?

[Rorix]

I just remembered this. Who else remembers this from the April Fool's joke on Alla a while back?

Maybe not looking like an April Fool's joke so much now, is it?

Here, found the whole topic: http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=12898

Woah... they look amazing, to be honest, if they actually make a Moggle race like the one in the picture, I would actually PAY for playing every month.

Probably been said since there are 27 pages but I'd like to see that horned race in the game become playable. I forget the name but E-Sumi and O-App are two characters of the race. They're in Gridania.

The horned race is Gria. I would be on ffxiv 24/7 if my character looked anything like this.

Not to mention 60% of Hyurs already look like Bieber.

60% boyish, 40% manly, I don't see how thats too unbalanced considering this is in fact a japanese mmo.

Taking my statement completely out of its context, I agree. Believe me I'd roll a Shinji Ikari-type cast character in XIV if Eorzea weren't already so over-populated with the sort.

But we were talking about another feminine male option. I was declaring it's already here in plenty. I have nothing against the idea except the fact that it's already available. And that a clear and fascinating majority use it.

Take those imaginary percentages however you want, my point (which I hoped was quite clear in the original post) is that there's not much to contrast it-- Leaving everyone standing around in Ul'dah looking like a bizarre impossible number of twins, and all quite possibly Bieber's love child.

In XI (apologize for the reference again) there were what, 7 or 8 face options? While that was limiting, at least every face looked like a different respectable age and demeanor. For midland Hyurs (the most abundant race) it is bottled-necked to 4 faces. Four age groups. Now take a guess which is usually used.

My point was if they are going to add anything, please let it not be the same look that's already too readily available albeit missing bunny ears or a tail. Believe it or not, those areas are already covered. If a more masculine or bestial option isn't your cup'o tea, at least acknowledge that those sorts of PC options would further push the contrast of your already youthful, gushy anime character-- Making yours stand out and not blend in.

I think SE should allow us to race change more than once.

Make it have a long cool down like 3 months or something or make it a long repeatable quest where the story goes something like: "A Lalafell learning magic needs your help gathering ingredients for a potion that turns you into a (X,Y,Z race) and uses you as a guinea pig."

I don't want to change to something and regret it.

i think a neat story could fit in to have the ronso.... the hellguard roegadyn are protecters of a mountain said to be the gates to hell to prevent souls returning to the living, and in 10 the ronso pertected a mountain that was said to be the gateway to the holy city of Zanarkand. make the ronso and the hellgaurd rival gaurdians. maybe the ronso start an arguement saying the hellgaurds are corrupted by being so close to the gates and should no longer be the protecters, and a nice epic cutscene battle breaks lose and we get to see this thur the power of the echo from a wounded hellgaurd.

have there be a mountain on the empire side and thats where the ronso come from and thats why we currently dont see them

Using the current beastmen as an opposing faction would be cool and an easy addition. The beast tribe quest hubs mentioned back in May, hint towards this maybe? http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/a...6&d=1304316419

if it's for the future then anything is possible at this point, for now I'll give a partial description and a little lore.

A race that was banished: (The Voidas) " There's hatred towards those 5 descendant races that banished them to the void, they simply called themselves Voidas, as even the truth been destroyed and banished."


A race that was newly born (The Wordless) "Witness the creation/birth of a whole new life form, as they have just been born they have not words."


A race that was enslaved by the empire (The Enslaved) "On the other continent where the empire lives another race was enslaved by them, after they were saved they migrated to Eorzea thanks to the efforts of the brave young adventurers, however, for there race's name "Speak it not or you shall be Cursed". "

*^^ this one had a little fun with this ones.

I would like to see them add the Padjal (the horned race) as a playable race, but I think the lore might not alow that, not really sure XD.
