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

[ADVSS]

Yes you read that right.. We need Dwarves as a new race. Dwarves with might MIGHTY beards I SAY!!

Now i know compared to Roes, Elezens, and Au'ra that hyrulians might as well be dwarves but they are not proper dwarves. Neither are Lalas those are just small footballs meant for punting by a weary adventure so that he doesn't lose hope. Because nothing is more glorious the seeing a lala flying through the air after a mighty kick

So I say again forget all other race ideas and five us Dwarves with mighty Mighty beards

TALI-HO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LALI-HO!!!!!!!!!!!

eit: I actually second this, not as a playable race but as a debut. Dwarves have been around in several FF installments thriughiut the series, though in xiv they resemble closely to the kobolds. from using explosives to build a dam for sea travel between continents. to aiding and assisting cid in making fireproofing covering for his under earth airshiip in ff4

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.

yeah

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.

, yup , no tonberry or goblin (albeit a bit tired of them with alex already!) , probably some cute animal+human again

Lore wise, they could be a weird mutation of Hellsguard Roegadyn which we find when we some day explore the mountains of Abalathia's Spine. The two dwarf clans could look very different from each other, one having human colours and the other having stone colours.

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

Okay, but that doesn't make the opinions of those that like them any less valid. As I said, more flexibility within the character creator really should be what we're asking for here, not a "my way or your way" type schism.

I wonder how they could possibly write dwarves into the FFXIV world.

They managed with Au Ra, sooo... /huh.

"Something something distant continent something".

I was only saying that Au'ras should never have been looking like "delicate princesses " in the first place. But Au'ras being what they are now, yes they could add more flexibility by making it the first race with a third tribe. And that tribe could be the awesome menacing one from the concept art.

Time for the beards!

Viera or not at all!

[Krystalmethot]

Time for the beards!

THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BEARD. ALL SHALL TREMBLE BEFORE IT!!!!

I can see dwarves being implemented in XIV as quite likely (less so as a playable race), because the dev team like their references (matoya and azyz lla being big ones), so perhaps we might find dwarves as an NPC race if nothing else.
