Does FF14 needs a new small race?

[Greedalox]

I'd prefer something less Loli or generally regarded as "cute" for a new small race. Making a Lala with ears wouldn't exactly bring anything to the races that the gold saucer with Bunny Ears doesn't already.

Make a race that is around the size of female Au Ra which is the 2nd shortest race/gender combo. That way you can have a race that is short and not loli flat unless you want to shrink the bust that much.

As long as it looks someplace between a beast tribe race and a player race I'll be happy. And I don't mean adding animal parts to a human like Miqoute and Au Ra.
Short races can be fun but being that child like looking gets into weird areas.

I'd race change to a Goblin in half a second. Don't know how they'd implement faces and stuff, maybe different mask shapes and ears. OMG I WANNA BE A GOBLIN!

This is slightly off topic, but not only do we need another small race, we really need a few beasts. My suggestion of Ivalice moogles would work, but I would also suggest Ronso in addition. Beast tribes in my opinion wouldn't work. They are supposed to be rare, and honestly I feel that we need a second cat race. Something more spiritual instead of sexual. We all know Miqo'te culture revolves around Nunhs. Ronso would really fit the bill. I know a lot of people would disagree on me for saying this, but there are SOOO many different types of cats, and many different kinds of their personalities. Miqo'te in my opinion are more feral, and Ronso would be more regal. Does that make sense? It's like Midlander to Highlander. I want to see it happen, and honestly who doesn't love more cats! As long as they are different, and they are.

I have no idea why you'd say this.

[MistyMew]

as long as they are not shaped like a potato then I say yes!

small does not have to equate sphere

I've said it before and will continue to say it forever, they really should've done a Highlander/Midlander thing with the Au Ra, Xaela have big, buff, scary men and women with low sexual dimoprhism and the Raen being small, cutesy men and women with low sexual dimorphism.

On topic- A small race would be okayish as long as it was low in sexual dimorphism (No regular sized dudes and tiny women please) as long as I knew the next one in a year or so would be another race low in sexual dimorphism with big, broad scary men and women. Hopefully they could get "Small" without it looking like a child. And just a reminder, "Loli" doesn't mean child, it means a porn genre that sexualizes little girls >_> Please do not use it.

Ronso has my vote I've wanted them since 2.0.

Lalafel already skirt the line depending how a player chooses to dress themself, and they are described as childlike. Loli'esque races have been a thing in MMO's before, it's a real possibility in all regards so I'll keep using the term- even if Lalafels and other MMO's races aren't actually children. Besides, Lolicon even uses the term "Childlike" or "girls with youthful characteristics" in it's opening description in all the sources I'm reading from, not necessarily chronologically and hormonally a child.
