Vampires in Eorzea

[Nikita]

There was a vampire in FFXI in upper jeuno, the one you feed meat to the little boy standing at the door.

Elvaan female sitting in chair all messed up.

Welllll, not quite a vampire. More like possessed, you were rewarded the "Exorcist in training" title after all!

True, but Vana'diel did have actual vampires, well vampyrs. I updated the OP with a few more pieces of evidence. Heavensward really begins to look like the perfect setting for vampires.

As a Vampire lover, I would love for them to be in the game. Hell, I would kill to be one. Ever since Bravely Default introduced it as a job, I've been dying for SE to put this job in another game.

Good to have more fans on board.

Question is, should vampires be a class or a race? Both has precedent and both are tied to things comming in heavensward

[Balipu]

While waiting, another question came to my mind. What would be the lore behind them? Would they be undead like in folklore and FFXI? Would they be voidsent? Would they be people posessed by voidsent?(In Dragon Age a vampire is considered to be an average human posessed by a hunger demon) Or perhaps a completely naturall occuring race like in saaay the Witcher? As for the classes, what would give them vampiric power? A pact with a demon? A pact with a vampire? A curse of an angry god? Vampire blood? Or maybe some kind of magitech device? (Like in Trinity Blood)

They would be fun to play... and would probably have the sickest looking gear.

lol I know but I always called her a vampire since she wanted raw bloody meat

If there would be vampires I'd imagine them to be in Gridania. It has more voidsent/demonic presence than Thanalan (who deals them them due to thaumaturgy) Just take a look at Haukke Manor, Tam Tara (Edda), Amdapor Keep/ Township, and probably more.

You could be right. Assuming vampires are demonic in origin. I chose Ishgard because it has been locked off for ages, so it would be quite normal to find well established and relatively intact vampire families compared to Gridania where we fought voidsent since 1.0, but it is true that gothic horror always finds a way into Gridania. Then again, the phantom train is somewhere in Mor Dhona. You are definitely right that Thanalan seems to be relatively safe from demons and undead, but as the Hildibrand questline revealed

Ul'dah used a zombie plague against Sil'dih. Who knows what else is hidden by the sand.
