We need Dwarves with might.. MIGHTY beards as the next race

Square wont add races that they think the community will put in the ugly box. Dont get me wrong, I love to see Dwarves or Beastman type races, but Yoshida said many times that he will only add races with features that the players like the most aka cute characters.

Yep unfortunately. Me being able to play an interesting looking female character is zero chance when playing a jp game.

Yep, this is sadly something that we can not do anything about. Aslong as Mi'qote, Au Ra, Hyur (Midlander) and Lalafell are the most played races, the only races that will be added, will look very similiar to them. I fear the male version of the races will be stuck in a status quo aswell, every female will be cute and short and every male strong and tall.

If this is something that they are going to keep repeating, then I rather have more faces, hairstyle, ears etc for the current races, then a new one.

You can kinda make a lalafell as a dwarf...though their beards aren't quite as mighty.

Original Au Ra concept arts were very unique and monstrous. It was actually very awesome looking. Wish they stayed more true to their concept arts.

I always thought the beard was the Dwarf and the rest was just something that came along?

It really is unfortunate that that's probably the case. Hope you're ready for your third "Waifu race with blue skin/another animal trait/whatever cutesy/sexy jrpg/anime trope you can imagine" :\ I mean they couldn't even have bothered to do the bare minimum of additions to the girl Au Ra to make them more interesting to those who want something that isn't super cutesy like giving them a greater high range, a "more scales" option, or at least one face that isn't generic teenage anime girl.

Idk, I really enjoyed my beautiful, delicate-looking female Au Ra. My Miqo is "cute", but way more in the region of tomboyish/spunky, so when I want to feel like a princess I go back to my Ra.

I think the real thing we should be addressing is that if we had more bloody character creator OPTIONS, both your vision of Au Ra and mine would probably be possible.

You summed up perfectly what is ( in the eyes of many, including myself ) completely wrong with that race design.

Dwarvers in Final Fantasy are usually a race who lives underground or inside big mountains. It is possible implement in game, even considering we have the kobolds as the guys who live in mountain/cave . Will be fun see a Roegarding-like race with Lalafell size with beard.

Hilarious.

Yeah it's annoying when you've got the dudes of a race ranging from "Weird and kinda edgy anime-ish" to "Big ol' tough stern looking guy" and the girls are well.. "Pretty girl with horns" to "Kinda weird looking Pretty girl with horns and blue skin!"
