Please add a new unique race to 14

[Masekase_Hurricane]

Please can we get a race that is unique to 14. We have loads of stuff relating to previous titles in FF, now is the time to make something fresh and original that makes 14 stand out.

Maybe something like this an actual beast race.

They have already said that they will never make a playable race without human legs/feet/hands, as it would mess up the current armours and they don't wanna rework every model ingame and future ones.
So I would asume that goes for the head aswell.

So sorry, no "true" beast race possible. Only thing we can hope for are more Humans with animal ears/tails.

If they want to hype an expansion outside new jobs in the future they will.

ESO has far more customization to it for character creation than FFXIV AND they have several unique beast races. So its doable, it just depends on sitting a few modelers on it for a minute.

Some people might not even want that. I don't.

I am silently hoping for another small race.

This is what i'd want, if anything.

We all know it's doable. They just don't want to. Any race we'll be getting is always going to be human-like with something added or removed to make them different, whether it be Bull Horns, Bat or Bird Wings, Bug Eyes, Animal Ears, etc., something that doesn't alter the human aspect of the model. Probably the most drastic thing they would do is alter the face like a Lion or a Wolf, maybe even a Bird Beak. It will keep the cranium like a human so you can add hairstyles and helmets, possibly even beards. That's as far as I think they'll go for a beast tribe race.

Probably not as that would mean they'd have to make a special version of face visors. It would have to be an incredibly squished face. I could see it looking very... interesting, to say the least.

Either that, or tell players...


... to deal with it.

ESO does have more sliders BUT everyone still ends up looking the same unless you go for an extreme look because there is a basic template for each race. You end up with characters who are just as different (not) as the characters of the same race in WoW. I loved ESO, I loved WoW, and I loved SWTOR, but my character ended up hottest in FFXIV despite the 4 triangle Elezen faces. I would also like to point out how in ESO, apart from the Argonian and Khajiit heads and tails, everything is the same. It is still the same body, with a different texture. No special wings, claws instead of fingers etc. What would actually fit into a FF universe is also a valid question? Rather than just pumping out numbers and giving people what they want to see, I do hope SE spends money and resources on things that have a certain quality, rather than artificial quantity.

Then simply don't buy a fantasia.

That happens in most games with large customization. Some players just can't be bothered and just copy someone else's. I had very unique characters in ESO, enough to have others ask for sliders. Kept them to myself for that reason. Was even able to make a Dunmer still look great at stage 4 vampirism. That's a feat and a half.

I think you misunderstood.
I don't want those races as part of society in the game period, 'cause i'm racist like that.
