Does FF14 needs a new small race?

the competition to the potato race. THE TOMATOES!

So for anyone wanting races that are somewhat more unique or exotic, don't get your hopes up >=

They were planning to add Viera at one point, as seen here:

But ultimately decided not to because of their legs. Their legs would've required that they either: A. Massively rework the visuals of leg gear

or B: Just have the non-compatible leg gear show up invisible.

ANY race that has unique features will cause this problem. We even see it in some we have now (weird clipping with Roes or Lalas, lots of armor looking really ugly on Roes etc.)

So while I really want new races that are really unique, it unfortunately likely won't be added because of these technical issues. So if we were to get another "cute" race, it'd likely be kind of a smaller version of something we already have.

All this Lalafell Hatred from people is pretty amusing, although as a Roe I often get hate from a lot of the "kawaii" races for being too ugly and to change to the more aesthetically pleasing mancats ¬__¬

never change, man cats are gross.

[madolyn]

no. having all these hot dog bodied lalafells is enough.

I was thinking more of the lines of this. A dwarf.

Who knows what they will come up with next... Seems like the high demand for Viera might cause them to change their minds on past design choices. I don't mind them too much honestly but please... Don't make another tall race... We already have elezen, au'ra and roe... We don't need another one hence the point of this thread! xD

I wouldn't mind though if they went with this idea though but a sightly more slender anatomy since the male looks like a bigger lalafell.



But as for my personal wishes, I want a satyr race. There isn't enough games with playable satyrs or playable half-beasts out there!





Or even a mix of satyr and viera if they really want a bunny race! o.o
