New Racers for Final Fantasy XIV

[lackofwords]

The same exact way they fit XI races into XIV. You give it a different name and you adapt it to the environs of said world. It's really not that hard.

You're mixing two different things. Kefka is a particular character and not a race. It is not the same thing as asking for a bunny girl variant race to appear in XIV.

Like I said in a few of my previous post, you're going to have to re-brand the race. This in sense can create mixed feelings for people who have experienced that race in another game in a completely different way and context. A similar feeling you get from "type-casted" actors appearing playing different roles that you are not accustomed to them playing.

Tanaka's explanation of re-using FFXI characters;

DO: Did you keep the races similar to FFXI’s races to help FFXI players get used to the new world?

Tanaka: Pretty much. We made the game with FFXI players in mind, so we wanted them to be able to play with the characters they knew and loved. There were ideas to add a male Mithra and a female Galka, but, unfortunately, due to developmental limitations, we had to throw those ideas in a vault for now. We may be able to see them later, when the time is right.

I would rather much have them create another beast-like race, than ruin the image of what I think vieras like Fran are.
