New race idea

[Kazrah]

If we're looking for a Dwarf-like race, then how about something like the Lilties from Crystal Chronicles series?


They're Dwarfs/Stout-but-Strong Race + Plant People. With the Plant People element, they would have something to distinguish them from Lalafell and other races (I would want devs to push the Plant People elements more though).

You do realize tallies are still gonna call us potatoes, right?

IDK maybe a maturity appearance/ mixed race like hilda/half miquo's but Im not sure how content the community would be about a new race that has to be humanoid plus tail and weird ear like design or something. it makss sense to me that all the garbs have to fit with minimal clipping etc so

We do not need a new race. It was a wow thing (for a good reason) and now we are forcing it to be a FF thing.

I know most of you will say I'm copying from wow... But I really would like a werewolf race, or at the very least to have the option to change miqo'te from cat to wolf (fluffier tails, bigger build, lot more hair especially facial hair), is really a shame one of the subraces of miqo'te is the keeper of the moon, and they still make it look like a cat.

Something that I'd seen mentioned in other threads about new races would be one that is kind of the opposite of the au'ra in that its the males that are small and "cute" while the women are much larger and fierce looking. I'd remembered reading things where people think the real reason for male mi'qote popularity isn't that they are catboys but that they have the smallest build for male characters with the exclusion of lalafell. Havent gotten a good look at these concept pictures but lore wise it kind of sounds like Viera would fit this niche. I'd also be for more customization options on the existing races. They'd make a fortune on fantasia sales if they did it >.>

I dont know if this is possible, SE has shown the past years that with FFXIV, they want to avoid making cute (non gnomes type of race) males or give males feminine (Shisui outfit suprised me) clothes. There was even a interview where Yoshida said that the developers (males) do not feel comfortable with creating cute or sexy stuff for (this is also one of the many reasons why Bunny Outfit for males have been delayed for so long) male avatars. If they were to add a cute bishounen male then this would mean the male version will have a racial outfit that fits him and emotes that reflects his cuteness. I just can not see SE who has a hard time designing a cute or sexy outfit for male avatars, be able to create a bishounen male with emotes etc.

As much as I want to see cute small males (maybe like Alphinaud or Sora from Kingdom Hearts, I dont think SE will add a tall female character and small cute male. They will either make both genders the same like Lalafell or give us another Au Ra mess.

Why not give us this:



Moogles are even inside Eorzea as beast tribe. Why not the eorzean find some advanced moogles that can live in the same society as everyone?

If they add the Ivalice Moogle, alot of Lalafellins will reroll.

Golem Race.

• Different types of skins of earth, wood, stones, crystals.
• Grass and earth for hair.
• Different sizes. Baby, Slim, Brute

Maybe a demon race as second choice?

Gonna toss another one on the "Let's have more customization rather than a new race" pile. I mean, I wouldnt mind a new race, but like others have also said, I would love it if I could customize my current races better. Ears on miqote for example, maybe you could do a Scottish fold ear, maybe you could do a lynx/caracal ear, etc. Au Ra, being able to mix and match horns and faces, like Yugiri having face #2 but horns from #1. More faces in general wouldn't be bad either. I realize plenty of people don't care, but many do, and in a game like this, they could only benefit from expanding customization. I mean, imagine how much more they could make off of Fantasias on the mog store if there were even more options. People play this game specifically for what is already there and expanding that would only help them. Adding a new race would accomplish that in a sense, but enriching current character customization would not exclude that, either. They could do both if they wanted. Still, Id rather have more options, and I think it would be better overall for the game to do that first, at least IMO. ^_^
