[Idea] Race: Allagan

[Nektulos-Tuor]

I think a cool idea for a new race for FFXIV, based on the main storyline quest would be the Allagan's themselves.

Why do I think this interesting? As you can see from the picture it is obviously some kind of ship or UFO that has been floating for quite some time. What if it was a way for the last Allagan's to escape? The ship itself can be an instance and you travel to it, inside you find beings created by Allagans.

Also, they can be beings created from Allagan's that act as workers and handmaidens and proxies to speak with people.

The instance boss fights could be based off AI, and the race itself could be unlocked per server via a very tough 8-24 man raiding zone.

"A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?"

Once it is unlocked, it is unlocked per server and you must make parties to do the zone. It could even be an "open" party zone rather then a closed instanced one that you must fly to per zone.


You give them free will, when they were slaves before and they help you defeat the bosses of the zones! Thus they become a playable race!

Just for fun, let's say the Allagans ran into the problem of their people being "tempered" by the primals, but figured out a way to deal with it. Unfortunately, this involved sucking the victim's soul out of the body and "filtering" it through unaspected crystals, before storing it in a "core" that could be inserted into an artificial body. It could even have been a voluntary process, undergone to allow them to resist tempering while attempting to deal with the primals. The devices to accomplish this would
likely still exist, somewhere amongst the secrets of Azys Lla or another of the Allagan's research facilities still undiscovered.
I should think having your soul trapped in a crystal sphere might even allow Hydaelyn to speak with you quite easilly.

Best idea for this ever. =D Makes a lot of sense.
