What if the reason why there isn't a new race is because...

[Rennies]

Yes there was. Digital CE I think included it?

Look at the price tag.

Look at the price tag.

That wasn't the question?

The point is, why would I buy an expensive CE purely for the fantasia? They have never given us a completely free one AFAIK (except the sub one).

So in order to recieve a complimentary fantasia without any extra costs i would have to pay extra for the Digital CE? wat

[Zojha]

That wasn't the question?

Well, it more or less was.

Whether through digital CE or via buying the fantasia directly - in order to get access, you have to pay extra. It doesn't come with HW alone.

The issue i have is that i feel that it is a bad thing to have to pay more than normal, to experience an expansions content on my main character. This game prides itself on having a One-in-all kind of gameplay, which is broken by adding races without at least one free change to the new freshness.

If the game was more alt friendly (a la WoW) i'd be fine with it. In those MMO's you are required to play more than one char if you want to experience the full show anyways with the alliance/horde split. In ffxiv there is no such noteworthy split aside from certain NPC's having minor changes in dialoge.

If we were getting any sort of new race option, Viera hybrid or otherwise, it would have been announced at one of the last Fanfests AND most likely would have had already have a character related to Stormblood around to represent it.

What if we are getting a secret new race and the new person representing the race is hidden behind a mask like Yuguri was? What if Unukalhai is of a new race?

Hybrid race options don't really make sense lore wise. Hybrids aren't impossible obviously (although some combinations probably are) but they are extremely rare, rare to the point that we've only met one after traveling all over Eorzea.
A thousand hybrids suddenly appearing in Limsa would be silly.

While I'm not interested in making a hybrid and do agree they seem rare in lore, it should be pointed out though that the miqo'te population according to lore is rather small which doesn't stop the endless keeper/seeker wave of players.

Jailbait race?
