Burmecian Race (Final Fantasy 9)

This is my first forum post ever so please bare with me.

I think the it might be possible for Burmecians to be a viable race to play in Final Fantasy 14 especially now with the introduction of Hrothgars. Since, both of the races features are animal like, the Hrothgars are a good example on how it may be possible for Burmecians to be a part of the game. Due to their animal-like features, it will be harder to animate their facial expression, especially with Burmencians facial expressions due to their face being more on the long side compared to the Hrothgars flatter face. However, we have seen instances of facial expressions in a race that have a similar length to the Burmencias in Heavenward MSQ, the dragon race. In Heavenwards MSQ, we've seen the dragon Vidofnir shows expressions of surprise and in pain in one of the Heavenwards cutscenes.



Proving that it might be possible to give Burmencians the facial emote capabilities like the dragons in Heavenward.

Burmencians also have two subraces already, similar to all the other races in Final Fantasy 14. Back in Final Fantasy 9, the Burmencias race had two different off shoots. The Burmencias who lived in the eternal raining Kingdom of Burmencia and the Cleyrans who live in desert tree Cleyra. It might be hard to implement the Burmencians lore wise into the game, but I think I have a few ideas.



In Final Fantasy 9, the Cleyrans where known for their dancing rituals, perhaps there is a possibility to implement Cleyrans to the Dancer job quests? As for the Burmencians, in Final Fantasy 10 they have shown Burmencians to be trained as Dragon Knights (Dragoons). It will be hard to implement the Burmencian version due to the already established lore with Ishgard and their dragoons, but it may be possible to introduce them this way regardless due to Shadowbringers bringing in the possibility of different world travels. The Burmencians have a chance to stay as they are if they can be portrayed as a alternate Ishgard or some sort from another world, and who knows maybe the Dragon Knights can possibly be implemented into the Dragoon job questline, just as the Cleyrans to the Dancer job questline.

Thank you for reading my post if you guys have any other ideas on how Burmencians can be implemented please leave a comment and support Burmencians to be added as a race!

I love the idea of getting them... and before Yugiri had her face revealed, I thought they were going to make the Burmecians (especially since it fit the theme of a race looking for refuge after their home was destroyed)

But I wouldn't expect much from this. They already told us point blank that the Viera and Hrothgar would be the final races added to this game.

In general or for playable charatcers? Because I can see those being added as a type of "beastmen" or some other form of NPC.

They already existed in FFXIV canon, once. The last of them were hiding in the sewers of Garlemald until somebody ratted them out.

I would be nice to Burmecian race ^^ It would be cool ^^

The qirin (sp?) are the closest we are going to get to this. They are the rat-like beast you see frequently in ARR areas.

*Beastmen. Sorry. Phone posting. They are also prevalent in Stormblood.

Didn't Yoshi-P say that hrothgar and viera are the last races in the game? And even then, we only got 1 gender of each with no promises that either would be made "complete". On top of that, both of those race releases weren't a complete success and they have their problems. Both of those races also use existing race bodies that are modified and burmecians have a completely different anatomy from what's in the game.

It's neat to discuss, but I wouldn't get your hopes up for anything. Though I do wish we had something like burmecians for a "beast race" that bridged the gap between miqo'te and lalafell rather than hrothgar who seem to just sort of exist in the same niche as roegadyn.

To be fair, the pushback for Hrothgar and Viera stems from the fact theyre sex locked AND that customizing them is a huge pain in the butt. It's a problem of their own making by releasing what can be summarized as incomplete concepts to the player base.

Would be fun to get new races but yeah, There's nothing more after hrothgar and viera. Just pray I guess they fix the races for customization, and then possibly give us the off sexes.

Just put some qiqirns in the weathered DNC gear and call it good.
