[Idea] Race: Allagan

[Nektulos-Tuor]

Just stop. I think your want for a robotic race is taking dives into desperate measures and you're hurting yourself with everything you're trying to say to validate this possibility, which in all ability to reason, is NOT going to work.. ever.

Allagan's, as was stated previously in this thread, are not a race. They are a culture, an empire. Besides your idea would not work lore wise as has been stated also in this thread.


There are plenty of other MMO's that will most definitely fill your needs to play as a sentient, robotic being.

Edit: Also.. you tried to pitch the idea as a race called Allagans, and now you are saying they aren't Allagans. Please just give up on this futile quest.

based on the allagan's themselves. =)

Op, don't listen to those who tell you to stop posting this, it's better then hearing all the whining about parsers and negative posts about the game in general.

Well we know they had plenty of clones and the Manikins of various types: CNJ/GLD/PGL, etc and those very android-like Omni.

Hopefully, if/when there's a new spoken race they'll be hinted at more often in-game prior to reveal than the Au Ra

The Allagans are just like Garleans, humans from another nation. It's like saying you want to play as a Gridanian, which doesn't make sense. More over, they are humans (hyur) just like the garleans are just hyur. You're asking to play as a race (midlander hyur) which already exists. The clones (which are in fact replicas) are exactly how they would look, like hyurs (seeing as they are).

On a semi-unrelated note, I have a theory about Allagan. They're a lost civilization, much like the traditional JRPG; we collect Allagan coins, which happen to be silver, gold, and I think bronze, kind of like currency in JRPGs.

I'm starting to see them more and more as a type of symbolism for old RPGs, and how they're not around anymore, yet some people are so interested in them, to the point that they go researching to see if they can find any treasures.

The red eyes were limited to those with royal blood, not all Allagans.

Whats the race name of the Pure Blood garleans? Maybe them would be a good new race on the future?

It's in the game and called Hyur.

Really this is the same as making a thread to get Ishagrdians as a race when we have Elezen.

Pure race garleans are those with a third eye, yes? Then Midlander.

Anyway, to reiterate; why it won't work is because of lore and story reasons. For Allag, why would majority of anyone on the dragon side even consider thinking of joining you (especially Midgardsormr)? For Garlean... Cid is the only 'good' Garlean we know of. Majority of Eorzea despise the Garleans (and all races start in an Eorzean city as a nobody. Having "I'm from that place that's trying to take over your realm. Need help with something?" just looks stupid).

No, I am asking to create a race created by the Allagans. I will edit it to clarify. =)
