Humanoid Avian Race?

Indeed, wearable 'mounts' would resolve this issue in every meaningful way. There would be no need to rework the gear models or physics, and as you point out it would not polarize players - a huge vote in it's favor. Wearable 'mounts' would also allow for a continual provision of different styles of wing, tail or other aspect of the 'mount', and in grounded areas, they could 'hover' like the bomb chair and Ahriman (for example).



Clipping issues are already a problem. With this, clipping complaints would be off the scale. As for a more beastly look, I think that is simply too niche to work.

Seems to work with Draenai in WoW, and that is a VERY popular race because its so different. They have unhinged opposite legs, and there are already "leggings" that give you goat legs so it can work.

Horns and helmets of Au Ra worked fine. Its the same thing.

That doesn't in any way address the clipping issue.

And besides that, this is FFXIV, I don't know or care what happens in WoW.

Draenei are demon like creature, like the worgen that are werewolf a bit the two type of creature people want to play. and outside the feet the draenei are fairly humanlike. the worgen of wow had even the human shape...
people asking for beast-like race are simply ignoring people point and simply say we want it. sadly i doubt you have that much people that will want to play this sort of race. then use money, time and energy for a race that will be barely played is.... well i let it to you imagination.

i will say what i have said before, it will never happend that like this. too much work will be needed for adapt the tons of equipement already existing, with each expansion more and more gears will be added and the work for adapt all this will simply too important for the little impact it will have on the game.
