Anything BUT viera race, PLZ show your support

He's not wrong, though. The races we play as in XIV do not impact the story in any way (unless it's interacting with Beastman, who even then treat all playable races equally), nor does it affect your stats by a lot. Races in this game are pretty much a more expensive form of Glamour.

Yeah. I doubt that is going to change, either, unless we start getting race exclusive starter zones like certain other MMO's have. Even then WoW had a habit of introducing a new playable race - such as Worgen - only to not really have them contribute much to the overall story outside of a few specific scenarios. So I'd really prefer more customisation for the existing races - that's much more valuable in the long term too.

Japanese based, or Japanese made? FFXIV's world isn't just based around Japanese culture.

Have you seen the AuRa emotes? It's like watching an idol anime/sentai show. Also, who do you think SE cares the most about? If Japan doesn't want or care for it, PLEASE DON'T LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

-One race loosely based around one culture, as apposed to EVERYTHING ELSE in the game-

wew you sure showed him!

You are right, but that doesnt matter really because that point is acutally dumb and, even if unintended, raccist.


I mean thats like saying yeah you know The Witcher is produced in Poland-Eastern Europe they must be religious zealots insparations because this appreantly " a big part of ther culture".


Also im like pretty sure that when i watch takeshi kitano movies i dont find "anime" in them because he is from japan

It was not racist. Just poor choice of words. Final Fantasy games have and will always be influenced by some form of Japanese culture. Anime, which is also a big part of Japanese culture also plays a big part on the design of the game. Cuteness is no stranger to Sqaure Enix.

If this is the case then there is no real downside to adding a new one. XD
