Humanoid Avian Race?

Wouldn’t it be a hilarious sight, if the tank (or better yet, the healer) in your party is a Goblin?

That might be true, but i would love to run around as a Goblin. Talking to NPC’s, who will make snide remarks because of my origin, but slowly start to open up as you progress as the Goblin of Light.

Brayflox was excellent at drawing hate. Unfortunately, she also had the tendency to run around...

Why on earth would anyone *want* to be a Harpy?
Harpy, a definition: a rapacious monster described as having a woman's head and body and a bird's wings and claws or depicted as a bird of prey with a woman's face.
a grasping, unpleasant woman.

That definition mostly refer to demons. These are suppose to be heroes with bird features. Example:

Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero. Its a transformation, but still doesn't mean she's evil or anything.


Myutie is a harpy, she's no baddie though, just a cutie X)


Random manga drawing


Or at least something similar to the Harpuia race from Agarest War
They're like harpies but with just the wings, basically angelic but an excuse to be a bird. Just add feathers to the arms and its official lol.

I wouldn't mind a humanoid avian race. Yes. Humanoid. Beautiful with feathers etc etc. I see people who are against that but how many of those people would honestly fantasia to an ugly beast race and stay as that permanently, or even the majority of their time in this game.

Yoshi's team knows people want to play beautiful characters and the Japanese especially prefer beautiful characters. On top of that, humanoid races make it a lot easier for them to modify gear to fit everything. Maybe I'm biased because I like pretty things XD I'm not entirely against more beast like figures, but the likelihood of that with this game is small I think.

(For the record, I actually thought the concept art for the au ra looked way better than what we got. I guess that's one case I would have accepted a more beastly looking race.)

But, Brayflox was so kind to us. She always had a “Present for Kindly Uplander!”

Another penny for me for another new race thread! I will be rich!

Problem with new race threads? Try contributing some of those pennies then. :/

You're not entirely wrong there. Unfortunately, a good majority of the players will gravitate towards prettier races.

Anyone that has ever played World of Warcraft before the Burning Crusade happened would remember how heavily underpopulated the Horde faction (which was considered the ugly faction due to no aesthetically pleasing races for most people) was. For all the talk and praise people threw upon the Troll race on that game, not many people actually played one due to issues with their appearances. The population imbalance was solved by shoving the prettiest race (by comparison to all the other races) into the Horde, which resulted in a population explosion that practically made the population imbalance cease to exist almost overnight (which in itself really says a lot).

I suspect, like in the aforementioned case, many people proposing for a new fierce, bestial race would authentically like seeing the race being added to the game... but they wouldn't play one themselves for long (if at all) after the honeymoon period ended.

Which is a damn shame, really.

Of course there are alternatives...for example the Featherfolk from Roak in Star Ocean 4.

Yeah let's add another Hyur race with something animal on it lmao

This is the only point I still envy to World of Warcraft. The game itself became crap, but at least, players were sastified with the numerous playable races. Damn I miss my Worgen. I'd kill to play a werewolf in FFXIV.

Though, I'll keep this in mind with hope.
