Past Races In FFXIV

[Uielyave]

Japan is really in to playing their incredibly humanoid and "sexy" races. I think Galka and Roe are about the closest we're gonna get to a "beastly" race. All the "ugly" races are seen as Neutral / Evil for the most part .

I like the idea of new races, but I think anything that strays from the existing body shapes would be prohibitively taxing to create assets for.

Imagine all the gear that exists in the game. All of that would have to be reshaped for the new race. Possibly twice, depending on gender differences.

We can already see that many of the ingame items are merely stretched by formula rather than individually reshaped... While this may be true for some pieces, I feel like, past a certain point in humanoid-ness, this point gets overstated.

Viera. Viera please.

I'd be fine with Bangaa too, but I wonder how they'd work the gear around them.

I'd much prefer XIV to have its own races.

This.

Cameos are fine. Hand-picking and shoehorning an entire foreign race from another game to playable status is just tasteless pandering at the expense of their own creativity.

A hypello would be pretty funny to play as XD

I would like to see a Shumi/Moomba beast tribe at some stage, The Shumi are pretty interesting, and Moomba's are pretty cute.

I'd love to see what the 14 staff can make on there own, I think they did a great job with the au ra (biased opinion) and I think they are more than capable of making another unique race.

If they went the route of pulling from past games I'd want Bangaa, I'd be more than willing to go Bangaa with heavy gear restrictions as well be it no head/hands/feet glams as that's the only way I'd see Bangaa working.

I miss the traditional elves and dwarves from Ff1 and 4
