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

I hope not.

New races are a waste of development. Takes too much time fitting gear. Why would i be excited for a feature that requires me to pay extra to access it on my main?

There's precedence for them giving players with active subscriptions Fantasia potions when something like that releases, and it wouldn't really be a new race per-say, I'm guessing it would be implemented in the background option such as Midlander and Highlander for Hyur. This way they could just be slightly altered characters with the same sillhouette, meaning that you wouldn't have to do a ton of gear fitting for most of them.

With HW there was no Fantasia.

If what you want is pointy ears i will still object. Why even have differing races if you get to mix and match as you please?

And any race mixed with lala or roe would be way too creepy. Unless what you want is the races more humanized. Which imo is bad for diversity. Roes with cat ears? Au Ra without scales? I dislike the idea.


And besides. Mixed races in the lore are currently rarer than the padjal. And the reason we dont get to play as those is due to their rarity.




If we absolutely do need a new race, at the very least make it original. Dont rehash what we already got.
