Can we get a Reptilian race please?

[DarkChild]

Like the Argonians from The Elder Scrolls?

I'd want Bangaa, but I doubt it will ever be playable

[Thandronen]

I've said this in other threads before but I would definitely play a Kojin (Turtle Race in Stormblood) if it was an option.

[OwlBlackX]

Eh, we had better Au Ra.

I don't like furry race for players. But, NPC is ok

[Lildragora]

Personally, Burmecian/Cleyran. Including Burmecia the Realm of Eternal Rain. But anything FF9 related would be nice anyways.

[SokiYagami]

+1. Wouldn't mind having more options.

Can I also request for a demonic/voidsent race please?

[Synrin]

I think they've done it with Au Ra. They explicitly say that Auri do not come from dragons.... Which makes them plain reptiles.

[Zumi]

We got Au Ra, we are like 10% reptilian but 90% human.

[Laerune]

They tried this, instead of a Lizard man they decide for the kawaii moe version. Aslong as the playerbase shows that it prefers moe, we will not get different type of races. It also doesnt help that SE does not want to create a race that looks different from humans.

The Au Ra as it is the Lizard that SE wants you to play. This is probably why I am worried for the new race for future expansion.


PS: Still wish we had the taller rugged devilish looking Au Ra from the artwork.

[Theodric]

It's not going to happen.

The original concept art for Au Ra made them look more demonic/draconic than they do at present but we ended up just getting a watered down version. The men, at least, can still be designed to look fairly imposing and savage but the women just look like shrimp when compared to the original proposed design.

They'll probably cave into the pressure and add Viera next - which will just add yet another playable race that looks either 'cute' or 'hot' depending on which direction they go in. Another playable race that is essentially just a human with bunny ears and a tail.

Now, maybe they could add some sort of playable race that has a 'human' form and a monstrous form that they can switch between at will like WoW did with Worgen? That'd be cool. Still, overall I'd prefer additional options for the existing playable races before new races are added.
