Lupin - make it a playable race!

[Clethoria]

Good thing we're playing a Fantasy game.

Fantasy =/= ignoring all logic. Every universe has its rules, and for all intents and purposes, they're too beasty to be acceptable just cause.

so catman, dragonman, now wolfman? noooooo

Human face/body
Human face/body
Doggo face/ mostly human body. Not desirable to the majority of the player base and too bestman to be acceptable for Ul'dah and Gridanians would probably spear them on the spot. Really, it's a wonder why auri even get accepted.

Nevermind the fact that maybe Roes aren't the beastly look people want. .

Roes are hardly beastly at all, they are just muscled Hyurs but the only bearable race in this game for me tbh. Maybe if they were still Galka they would be different enough since Galka are Ursine in nature. But this is a JRPG people don't want to play beastly, they want waifu races.

HOW ABOUT....

If it looked more like this, then yes

[Rhivryn]

I'm all for more variety and less races that are just variations of human. I'd love for Lupin to be playable! Why else make assets and add them into the game as NPCs then to dangle things in our face to tantalize our imaginations?

I think I'll wait for SE's take on them, if a question is asked about them being potentially playable in a Live Letter.
If FFXIV does get around to making a 7th playable race, it's high time for SE to actually make them start in their home village and have them enter Eorzea around the Air Ship envoy quest. Let's say Viera become playable; while people will be happy to just be able to play as this race, it's still going to be jarring to have them suddenly show up in La Noscea, Gridania, or Ul'dah and no one in the MSQ seeming to care about your long ears (or demonic horns, in the Auri's case).

Not to mention that this is THEIR universe, they can mold it as they please when ever they want.

This is true, but please consider the lore. Please? It'd look awful stupid to have the starting Ul'Dah cutscene, blah blah blah beastmen, and completely ignore the angry dog face on screen. the only explanation I could ever fathom would be "oh it's just a mask" or glamour because something something intimidation.

I like how everyone is crying "furry" for wanting a beastlike race. I'm for a inhuman race. Right now the least human looking races are Lalafel, Au Ra and Roe in some ways. Something that is different would be great. I'll support anything that isn't "human".
