Lupin - make it a playable race!

[negiman4]

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).

I don't think you realize just how astronomical of an undertaking that would be to please a very small portion of the player base.

It's not about pleasing (well, I would be pleased for Lupin to be playable), but making sense. I'm not 100% sure, as I have never played as an Au Ra, but I have a feeling that not one NPC comments about what you are, despite being the only Au Ra to appear in Eorzea, with demonic looking horns and a reptilian-looking tail. It's jarring and makes the entire point of Yugiri masking her appearance pointless (she should reveal herself when she sees you're an Au Ra).

That needs to change with any future race and the "easiest" way to do this is to have them start in their home zone. The laziest way would have them start in any of the three cities, hand a letter of 'do not attack me plz' to a guard and then you're golden from there.

I cannot even imagine the amount of dev time that would have to go into making the headpieces work for these people. I would be more for the Viera even though I am one of those that loathe the idea of dev work going in to it.

Lupin race does seem rather unique.

[syunikiss]

viera and lupin should be a playable race.

Please NO I think it looks awful and lifeless

Please NO I think it looks awful and lifeless

But what about lalas then

[Purplenum]

I think that Lalafell, Au Ra (more like Augly Ra amirite?) and Miqote should be removed from the game.

So you want XIV shut down from bankruptcy. Ultimatum much?
