New race that are indigenous to the world of FF14? yes

Lolcopycat race pulled from previous FF games? {Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.}


and please, using "fan request" as a justification for something that serves little purpose other than pure fan-service is weak. If the devs are gonna bow to every whims of every players, they might as well hand over the production of the game over to fanfic writers. Bring on the viera and bangaas, have the Espers shoot the shit with the Aeons out back, while the Kuluu and the Cetra argue over who's the better ancient race as the Occurians plots to take over the world, only to be stabbed by a horde of Tonberries that appeared out of nowhere.
