New race idea

[Reaperking386]

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.

Can we just have a Skeleton race? No skin, no eyes, just walking bone corpses, I would play that in a heartbeat, bonus points walking around with an afro.

That or a race that isn't a Hyur with cat ears/scales/tail. I would be all for Burmecian from FFIX.

If you play Divinity Original Sin 2 your prayers are answered. They have the Undead which are skeletons.

I want Viera, but if not Viera Id be for a more beast like race.

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. ^_^

I've done a lot of research on the topic and unless we get the waifu-bait people on board we're going to have to kill the fox idea. Preferably the race should have some sexual dimorphism that's basically impossible to explain like the au ra. We're thinking something like the males are fifteen feet tall and have a mouth that looks like a garbage disposal and an overall appearance that says 'I eat metal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I still suffer from an iron deficiency'. The females on the other hand will be four and a half inches tall and only able to speak in the garbled babbling of a 9 year old.
