What if the Devs added another "Clan" for each Race?

Actually no. If they are actually a Garlean, with the third eye, they have 0 ability to manipulate aether. There are however a lot of Hyurs in the empire who are not of the Garlean ancestry, which is how they have casters at all. Strangely there are some Hyurs with Garlean ancestry, they are unable to use aether, and have no visible third eye.

The Lorebook describes it as:

"Garleans have little inborn ability to manipulate their body's aether, however, and thus the arcane arts have ever eluded all but a few."

It is rare, but not unheard of, for members of the Garlean race to be able to use magic.

your highlighting those words doesn't mean pureblooded Garleans have a small chance to manipulate aether. It means using Magitech they might be able to bypass their lack of ability with aetherial manipulation and maybe possibly give themselves something like the Echo or even the abilities of the Ascians. This doesn't mean a 1 in 10000000 chance of an Arcanist.

p.s. Putting my reply into spoilers, because duh, spoilers to shadowbringers content.

I've been asking for this for a while cause I want a clan of Roegadyn that has BLUE skin. Not the off greys and green. Blue like the Au Ra and Elezen.

I don't think we're get a "Garlean" for Hyur... They're technically their own thing, and they can't use magic, so there would need to be some big lore retcon. But I could see us getting a "Doman" variant for Midlander.

Honestly I would just be happy to get more hair and skin colors for the existing clans.

Once Viera and Hrothgar implemented fully in their intended entirety, along with the other races and them getting upgrade to the character customization system, I can definitely see this happening it would LOVE it!!!!

I'd like to see a tiny fairy-like Viera clan a full on demonic looking Au'ri clan, a very feral looking Miqo'te and Hrothgar clans....Uh, that's all I got off the top of my head. Maybe deep cavern Elezen (like the ones from Skyrim), short and stubby dwarf looking Roegydan and.....a middle ground Hyur between Midlanders and Highlanders or maybe even a "Lowlander" Hyur, if such a thing exists.

As for Lalafell, I'd love to see an dark and vicious looking version of them based off the Man-Eater Qikirn since they're the race who always gets picked on and eaten by monsters. So why not have them do the same in return to said monsters? Like how in that one Jurassic Park movie where the one bad dude was picking on a tiny dinosaur and minutes later he got torn apart by a horse of them. xD

...Maybe deep cavern Elezen (like the ones from Skyrim)...

I agree with your post, but I should point out that technically according to lore, Duskwrights are basically Deep Elves who lingered in deep caverns where their ancient civilization once stood. So yah, already in-game. Most people assume Duskwrights are just from Ishgard and hells knows we RP it all the time, even my main (not the posting character) is from Ishgard. But the lore actually states the Player Duskwrights are from the elezen who remained in Gelmorra.

Gelmorra lore is quite interesting, wish they had more of it honestly.

Beyond that, I would love to see the Xaela have more pronounced canine teeth. For some reason, the "perfectly straight teeth, with no canines at all" just looks bizarre to me. Also, as said above, Xaela should have a more "normal-looking stance", the current looked too uptight.

I'm all for it, as long as they don't change existing characters just like that.
Even if I think myself that the default male Au Ra stance looks a bit weird, if they change anything about them, I want to choose myself if I want to use it.
I'm perfectly happy with the female Au Ra stance, their emotes and their overall looks. And for male Au Ra it's only their default standing pose I don't like. More options are nice - as long as they're options!

[Clover_Blake]

Personally, I'd rather have new options for all the existing clans, like new base faces and make-up options (>_<)
Creating new ones would mean that the current ones won't have new possibilities added.

[Hysterior]

And everybody would need to buy a Fantasia. That could cover development costs.

[lolicon09]

Personally, I would love to have a Miqo'te with Seeker skin colors and Keeper eyes & fangs. If Hyurs will be the only race with actual differences between clans, then all other races should've the ability to choose between the stuff available for both clans
