new Race?

[Lukha]

It just cracks me up how everyone's mind immediately goes to dirty stuff the moment anyone asks for younger models. I mean, sure there ARE sick people out there, but should we really be determining what features are okay to have based on the minority of people who would misuse them? Tastes like censorship to me.

Have you ever heard the phrase "one bad apple spoils the bunch"? Because that's basically what this is. Yes, pedophiles are in the minority, but pedophilia is so reprehensible that most everyone does everything they can to avoid giving it any validation or avenue (as they should). So, to avoid even the possibility of validating pedophilia, children models should not be included.

This is also the reason why Lalafel tend to make people uncomfortable. From a human perspective, they have the bodies of children with the agency of adults. From our perspective, we can see no markers of sexual maturity--so when they start acting romantically with one another or towards one another, or as some have hinted, towards the Warrior of Light, it gets a little uncomfortable. In the universe, they are a distinct species, and are fully mature in their small stature, but that is abnormal for us as humans. Some people can get around that, some can't, and some shouldn't be allowed to.

Also, humans are (generally) sexual creatures--it's instinctual and hard-coded into (most of) us, and is no more abnormal than eating, sleeping, or pooping (in that it is a natural, biological function). Asking why people think about sex is like asking why people think about any of those things.

EDIT: That said, I would love if they added an age slider to character creation that ranged from college-aged (what most models now are) through middle aged, and into elderly. I'd love to make a badass old wizard, or a badass old warrior lady.

EDIT 2: I'd also like if they introduced the ability for cross-bred characters, though I realize the resources for that sort of thing would be quite intensive.

As far as new races go, I wouldn't mind Viera. Then again I've accepted the likelihood we'll ever get a race that is anything other than, "A human with <animal parts> slapped on," as incredibly unlikely.

But Hobbit, you are already playing as this games version of a Hobbit.
If you changed you wouldn't be a Hobbit. >w>

While I'm all for Viera/Viera-like-race, please don't start that here. You're going to cause another Viera War. >w>

I honestly couldn't come up with something else from the series off the top of my head. That and the Return to Ivalice stuff is convenient.
