Burmecian Race

[GrizzlyTank]

Would have loved to have them, but highly doubt it due to the head, hand and feet shape.

I have read an interview with the devs and they said they will not add other playable races because it is a huge effort for them. They must ensure that there are no clipping errors at all with every cloth. And there are more than ten thousand cloths they have to test with every new race etc.

Everyone who has been following the Viera and Hrothgar ""Missing Gender"" fiasco last 2 years is well aware that these might be the last races being put into the game.
Not gonna stop us from musing on the idea of what they COULD/SHOULD put into the game as another playable race that would be fun

Also, they said "More then Likely, going to be our last races". So, just like Male Viera, and Female Hrothgar, they didnt outright say "No, its never going to happen"
So there is always a CHANCE, that things could change and they could do it & make it happen They Made Male Viera happen. so Never Say Never...until they outright say no
And so far they only thing they have outright said NO to, is playable Children.

But the thing is, if they said they didn't think they could add any more because it would stretch resources too thin, and then re-evaluated and concluded that they could maybe afford this one more highly requested "extra race" after all... that doesn't sound like they're open to making another exemption for yet another race that is even more unusual and non-human-shaped than the current ones. It sounds like they've stretched to their limit.

Right, but they never stated it Would Never Happen.
So then unless they outright said otherwise, it COULD happen, especially if they manage to both upgrade and streamline processes in the development: hopefully without compromising quality and content.

True. But maybe the male viera are technically not a new race in terms of clothing. So there was no real effort to introduce them.

Making a seperate Sex/Gender is about the same amount of effort. Youre still building a new model, still creating unique features, animating it, and fitting gear to it.
If it were as easy as you made it sound, Male Viera would have happened alot sooner

I remember that question but who... Who even asked that...?

As for Burmercian, man if they'd be added to the game I'd rip my shirt, cook it then eat it.
We have a much better chance to see the Burmecians added as a beast tribe like the Nu Mou.

One way or another, I'd love to see the Burmecians in the game, I know IX has received a lot of love and we're getting Pandemonium, a location shared between II and IX.
We already got Alexander that was a loveletter to IX aswell. But it would be neat to see them ingame.

Chances of getting new races is low but not 0. I just don't expect to see new races, they already went far enough by adding male viera and soon female Hrothgar.

Lol I only mentioned it because its an example of them Outright shutting down & saying NO to a request.
They didnt outright say no to new races or explicitly say that there is no possibility of new races...just that its "Likely"

I never played IX myself, but Ive seen Freya alot so I have a good idea of how neat it could look in XIV, plus I just like the idea of another beast race.

Every race with ears and tails have clipping issues already since 2013, not to mention hair clipping that happens, specially to Hrothgar.
